Lifting weights gave me shape and made me strong physically but it's also helped me become strong mentally as well.
I used to be so weak, so insecure, a doormat, always trying to please others & worrying about what others thought about me. I listened to negative comments from others and I believed them. If I wanted something I'd have to get the approval from others before trying to get it otherwise what was the point!
I wouldn't even hold my head high & stand tall when I was out because I thought people would think I'm "up myself", I even went through a stage of not getting done up or looking "nice" because people might think something negative about me. I thought if I wore makeup people would think I'm “fake”, if I didn’t they’d think I was “ugly”. If I wore a figure hugging outfit I’d be called a “tart”, if I walked confidently with my head up and shoulders back then people would think I'm “full of myself” - I cared WAAAY too much about what others “might" think.
When I was out and about and people would look at me and say something I’d automatically assume they were saying something negative about me which made me even more insecure with myself.
6 years ago I started exercising so I could become fit, healthy and strong and I wanted to build some shape. I loved my new lifestyle and had never felt better mentally or physically...but friends and family told me I looked horrible, manly, too much, ugly and so on….I soon began to learn that it didn’t matter what others thought of me, as long as I wasn’t hurting anyone else I had to do what makes me happy.
I’d be lying if I said I don’t care about what others think of me because I do to a point. I care about what young girls think and the influence I have on them because I want to be a healthy and positive role model for them - so I care a lot about that! I don’t however care about what negative people think and say - we all know people like that! They’re the ones that love to hate and never have anything nice to say about anyone.. all because unfortunately they dislike themselves and their own life.
Nowadays I feel strong mentally as well as physically. I’m confident and I wear what I want and walk tall with my head held high and shoulders back. I still love going out with my daggy trackies, scruffy hair, bare faced with my cap on, but I also enjoy getting done up and putting on makeup, doing my hair and putting on a figure hugging outfit. - There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look nice!
Don’t ever let anyone make you feel like you can’t just be YOU and do what you want to do. Set yourself free from that trap - it will never please YOU and it will never be enough for the people you try to please.
People will always judge, criticise, ridicule, put own and there will always be people who hate “just because”.
Living to please others will NEVER bring you happiness. Worrying about what others might think about you will only hold you back and prevent you from living the life YOU want.
Wanting everyone to like you will only bring you misery & discontentment.
Liking and accepting yourself is far more important.
Live to please yourself not other people who don’t even give a damn about you anyway!
Be you, be confident and live your life how YOU want to live it!
