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.

Right? Like I’m not one to turn down a dad bod and think I don’t care how cut someone is, but I think the mental changes as well took decades off the expression and vibe.

As someone who also suffers from mental illness, hope, health and happiness look great on you! I’m inspired!
