On the topic of before photos
Just pullin up leggings before I film another vid for u all!☺I’ve had several people ask if I have a “before” photo. Well… If you know me, you know prior to becoming a coach 7ys ago, I would NEVER let anyone take pics of me! I avoided the camera AT ALL COSTS🙅. I can’t even find one where you can see I was pregnant. I was not on social media & if you saw me in older Turbo or CLX videos with my sis Chalene Johnson , you could probably tell I didn’t want any spotlight🎥. Pics of us growing up, I have my hand in front of my face✋.
But I’m over caring so much about what people think of my looks or figure and am all about doing pics/videos if it means I’m helping someone else.
Although I’ve had 2 points in my life where I was heavier, I don’t have pics, unfortunately😏. One time was after having Tyler of course (& I actually did NOT feel stressed about losing that weight, I was already a personal trainer & fitness instructor as side jobs & was confident I could get my pre-baby body back) & the other time was when I was 14👧<<<this was the time when I truly felt DESPERATE to lose weight & would cry myself to sleep. I started my journey at 14, with MANY mistakes & ridiculous starvation (I was not really overweight but was considered overweight in the ballet world), but I educated myself📕 and started gradually in college getting on a more healthy fitness path! This is why I now REFUSE to skip meals & rarely weigh myself!🙅I haven’t given up on my commitment to “true fitness” for myself ever since.
☝BUT still to this day, I’m constantly learning, adjusting to what life throws my way, failing, changing, trying & re-trying; all while keeping my 🔝priorities as my top priorities, ☝being the best Mom & Wife I can be… I take it all one day at a time!
🏅I just want to give props to those of you who decide TODAY to not ever give up on yourself, who decide not to judge someone else’s journey, and special props to those who decide to put themselves out there.. because it is NOT easy to be so vulnerable and open!🙈☺
