In 2013 I would workout 2 times a day, 7 days a week. I would eat 6 strict measured meals and never deviate from my plan. I would train to burn calories. I was always exhausted, injured, hungry, and my hormones crashed. I was miserable.
Today, I train with heavy weights 4 days a week and do some sort of sprint workout 1-2 days a week, and walk a lot. I eat all foods using a #moderation365 approach. ❤️
For ME, pursuing what I thought was the perfect body was actually destroying my health and taking away my happiness. The crazy amount of sacrifice it took for me to get lean and stay lean provided very little return on investment. Now I have found much more fulfillment by eating and training in a healthy way, treating my body with love and appreciating all the amazing things my body has done for me and continues to do for me each and every day.
Is achieving a six pack worth damaging your health?
When does the pursuit of the perfect body become an obsession?
I was able to discuss this topic on @ctvedmonton. We spoke on why the pursuit of the perfect body is not healthy, especially considering nothing will be different about your life after achieving a six pack - regardless of what you think will happen....😭😕

My goal is to help women stop obsessing over exercise and restricting their nutrition. I want to help them see results by training and eating in a healthy way, without slipping back into their restrictive or disordered tendencies.
If you or someone you know needs help with restriction and over exercising, please hit reply and allow me to help.
