I posted this on my story the other night & it got such an amazing response, I thought I would give a little more context behind it.
This first picture is the result, of cumulative years of hard work and consistency.
2020-2023-2024
I don’t mean hard work in just the SHIFT you put in at the gym, I mean the hard work of mental growth. 🏋🏽♀️
The first pic is the first transformation pic I have posted - EVER - of my physique without it being stage ready or on a prep!!!
As many of you know, but some of you might not, I harboured a secret eating disorder for 16yrs.
Looking back at the years spent bodybuilding whilst being in the deep grips of bulimia, I am super proud of what I achieved, but also a little gutted, as I conned myself out of achieving even better result than I had done.!!
💭 Just think of the physique I could have developed & built if I was well.!!! 🤯
Nonetheless, this was my journey up until 2019 where I hung up my stage heels…. and then covid hit.
I broke both wrists & moved back in with my parents. I was at a bit of an all time low with no real sense of direction.
Fast forward to the end of 2022, where I really started looking after myself again….
Routine gym sessions, classes, ED recovery & real nutrition; developing my business & brand, coaching online & through lots of self love…my “everyday” body started to develop. 💪🏼
No longer was I starving myself to achieve a stage lean physique & then bulk between shows to grow muscle.
No longer was I trying to fit into a category someone had told me I needed to fit in.
I found JJ.
I found a lifestyle with real goals & happiness.
And So, this transformation is the first real-life transformation I have, to show my growth.
It’s not a stage physique (which is v impressive)…but not maintainable.
This is me. 🦋
It took years!!
It will continue to take many more, but I’m here for it.! 💪🏼
