Healthy life or where is the thin red line

Hello guys, today I would like to discuss something different with you.

It’s all about the healthy life that literally deluge our everyday life. I mean…how many of you were having organic food instead of a random one ten years ago, how many of you used to go to the gym or make some home workouts…used to eat chia, avocado, quinoa and etc… How many of you are people who can’t live without activities. I’m one of them…I confess, but that’s because I used to play rhythmic gymnastics for 9 years and I grew up with sports in my life. But also, when I was younger I used to eat much more carbs, fat and junk food than nowadays and this is also because the healthy life has such a good marketing strategies not only in my country but all over the world. And it is something great, because one of the most popular diseases this days is the obesity of the population.

But I want to tell you something, mostly to the women who are reading my post (unfortunately we are the part of the humanity that is affected mostly by the fit and healthy bodies, trying to be and look perfectly in the eyes of the people around us) this is a thin red line and if you don’t know how and where is your limit the results of that lifestyle aren’t healthy at all…and yes, I’m talking exactly about anorexia and bulimia.

It all starts in your mind…someone told you “hey, it looks like you gained some weight” or even more innocent “ I like your muffin top” and than you decide to start living much more healthy life and to rid of those couple pounds extra…all right, good idea, to exchange the grease junk food with their healthy equivalents, to eat more veggies…but some people can’t just keep that and seeing how much weight they lost just want to continue that way…and this is exactly the begging of that spiral of that terrible diseases.

There is nothing wrong to want for your self to have a healthy body and healthy mind, to workout, to try to eat healthy and good food, but believe me if you start to feel good only when you see how much kg you lost…just stop for a while and make a cheat day or even week…my point is to learn where is that red line and to learn how to not cross it.

My all point is that we should learn how to love our bodies whenever they are…stretch marks or not, cellulite or no…this is our body… everything could change nowadays…there is aesthetic procedures, cosmetics, healthy meal plans, home workouts and etc. , but if we don’t feel that love and respect to our own bodies nothing of that would be satisfying for us…and we will end up wanting more and more and all that efforts won’t be ever enough for us.

So think about it…look your self in the mirror and say “hey, gorgeous, you look amazing today” !

Thank you guys for reading my story today! This topic is really sensitive for me either, so if you like it, you know what to do 😉

Have a great day!

xoxo

Yours
