Lately I've been thinking about the images that motivate me to get healthier. Sure, I can look at images of celebrities, other women for motivation and say, "I want to look like her!"
But honestly, that doesn't really drive me. I know deep down that no matter what I'm not going to look like Heidi Klum. And that's okay.
At the end of the day, I am going to look like me. But I want it to be the best version of me. The version of me where I felt most carefree, happy, and youthful.
I came across this pictures a few weeks ago. It was taken on July 2006, just 5 months after Alex and I began dating. It's not the picture of me at my fittest. Or my thinnest. Or even with the best hair (I remember I was NOT too happy with these highlights- haha!)
But I felt good, and alive, and carefree. I want to get back to this place with my health. I did not workout and I didn't really care what I ate I was just thin and happy and living life.
I want to wear this white skirt again (I still have them and I try them on each summer since then to see if I can pull it off, but I can't!)
So, this week, this picture is what is motivating me to stay on plan.
What images do you use to motivate you?
