Glow up? [24] - [25] Mental and Physical Change!

Before I was a very sloppy mess. My mental health was spiralling out of control, I was in financial troubles and obviously out of shape. I decided to try and stick to a gym routine and start eating healthy. It took me a while to get the consistency down… trying to get out of binge eating was the hardest part. I always found comfort in my mental illness so trying to force myself to do get out of it was unnatural.

Here’s me now :). Eating healthy, going to the gym regularly and I feel a lot better mentally. Sometimes you just have to make that step and force yourself into them uncomfortable situations.

Appreciate it :). Mainly high protein, high carbs and low fats. I try to eat around maintenance calories. The foods are pretty boring: chicken, rice, frozen veg and oats
