The WEIGHT LOSS TRAP Overnight I decided I ‘needed’ to go on a diet to lose weight when I was about 14 years old (no one needs to go on a diet at that age unless it’s medically approved). Something that was being done by nearly everyone around me, obviously made it seem like it was such an innocent and ‘normal’ thing to do. 9 years later and she was still on that diet she ‘needed’ to go on. I was never ever satisfied. As soon as I saw that first drop in weight, I kind of got addicted and wanted to keep going to see where I could take it. I call it the weight loss trap because you literally feel trapped in an addictive little hole of diets. I was in a deficit of calories and also pleasure. Never pleased with what I saw in the mirror, and if I was, it would last for a couple of minutes until I found something else I could critique. Until I gained weight, I realised I was trapped for all of those years and tbh I dread to think how many more years I would have wasted being in that weight loss cycle. Sometimes you’ve just got to have no physique goal to be able to feel satisfied with just living a life you enjoy. I go out drinking, socialising, out for meals, I also gym, go on nice walks and eat alllll sorts of food groups; and I enjoy every moment of it. I’m happy with what I see in the mirror if it’s a body that allows me to do all of that. This is where my body naturally sits when it’s living it’s best life, and that’s why I’m satisfied and happy. If you’re living a happy balanced life, without any forced behaviours, any restriction and any guilt, then you should be happy with whatever you see in the mirror, and accept the fact that that’s where YOUR body naturally sits. We aren’t all designed to have a six pack, a big bum, a small waist, big boobs, small arms, toned arms, thin thighs, thick thighs, whatever it is you desire. At the end of the day, we’ll likely always be chasing something we don’t have, which means disappointment is inevitable... So stop chasing and start accepting and LIVING HUNNIESSS💖💖 #gainwithmilly
