Your only limit is your mind

Weightloss, body image and having a chronic disease.

First of all thank you so much for your interest in my story. Now let's get to it.

“I always thought that I would have big legs forever, Little did I know that is true.”

Weightloss

I always struggled with my weight. I was the chubby girl in class and got picked on a lot for being bigger. Back in 2017 I wanted a change, a big change. So I searched the internet for possibilities. I tried all kinds of stuff, lost a lot of weight, gained some back and lost it again. I would have meal preps with me everyday, not eat out and exercise all the time. My lifestyle was far from a balanced one. I would restrict myself all the time and started to less and less enjoy food. In this journey I found my passion for nutrition and sports and made steps to get closer to a balanced lifestyle, so i could enjoy food again without restrictions.

Body image and chronic disease

I started to embrace my body, love my curves and be proud of everything my body can do. This might sound so easy. Being proud of your body. Reality is, it just isn't.

I always thought that I would have big legs forever, Little did I know that is true. Late 2021 I got diagnosed with lipedema. Lipedema is a chronic condition that causes a excessive amount of fat to accumulate in the lower body and the upper arms. It can be painful and can increase when hormonal changes occur.

This inspired me to help others become the best versions of themselves. For a long time i thought "I don't look like a personal trainer, how convincing is that?" The thing is, your only limit is your mind. I started to study to become a dietician and personal training even though I thought I would never fit the image. You have to start somewhere and that image in your mind is something you can control.
