For a recovering perfectionist, this competition was a completely new head game. A game I wasn't really prepared to play. And as the social media likes came in, and the messages of how I'm crushing it flooded my inbox, I was filled with only temporary happiness. It left me thinking, "When will it ever be enough?"
All because of one competition, I started to feel like I wasn't measuring up in MULTIPLE areas of my life. And it was rooted in ONE MAIN THING. Comparison. How my body looked compared to other women. How much money I make in my business compared to other health and fitness coaches. How happy I am in my marriage. How successful I'm am in potty training and bed time with my toddler...
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent-- but what if you never gave them consent? Why Body Shaming NEEDS to STOP.
I looked at that scar and felt emotions that I'm not sure I can put into words. I felt.......vulnerable. I felt like screaming at the top of my lungs so loud that the vessels in my eyes might burst. I felt like punching a wall and then curling up in a corner and crying, but of course, I wouldn't want anyone to see. I wouldn't want anyone to see the shame, or guilt, or the emotions of real life.
