This is a quick and short blog about why looking at fitness models, actors, the girl waking down the street with size 4 jeans aren’t going to give you realistic goals!

Body Image Issues

We are ALL shaped differently, not one person on this earth has exactly the same body! That fitness model you saw on Instagram who you want to look like and can’t seem to do it is probably on fat burners, water pills, and has always had an active lifestyle. Her results didn’t come overnight but technically “born with” and yet she tells you she’s been weight lifting for a short period of time. Meanwhile, you’ve been working your butt off for a longer duration of time you’re left wondering why you don’t look like that!!

You are your only critic!!!

You know your body better than anyone and you can’t let a model who is in great shape get to your head! Getting healthy is tough, that’s why you can only do it from looking at yourself! Don’t let paid Instagram models or false diet plans get in your way!!!

Get your butt in gear first thing in the morning with a healthy breakfast and work out hard because you want to look like a better version of YOU not someone else.  YOU are different from everyone, YOU will struggle differently…. maybe easier or harder than the next person trying to better them self!  YOU may have health problems holding you back but it’s not going to stop you it’s just going to take a little longer! In the end YOU will bring yourself to what you believe you really want for YOURSELF!!!

It’s not bad to look up to fitness models, athletes or celebrities but remember your goals are different from theirs and by accepting that you’ll finally see the results you’ve been waiting for…and of course remember, it will only happen in time 🙂
