I know that sounds crazy..but it’s actually true. I’ve been trying to gain healthy weight for almost a year. Not just any weight, but muscle and healthy body fat. And somehow, over the last two months, I’ve made more progress than I did during the entire previous year. Looking back, I honestly think my body was under SO MUCH stress that it just wasn’t responding the way I wanted. I also get asked about my diet all the time, so here’s the truth. I don’t count calories. I don’t weigh my food. I don’t track every meal. I’ve never been that person. I eat intuitively. I listen to my body because over the years I’ve learned to understand what it needs. I naturally enjoy whole foods. Lots of protein, vegetables, healthy fats, nuts, avocado.. that’s simply what makes me feel my best. It’s not a diet or a set of rules. It’s just become part of my lifestyle. Of course I still eat dessert or whatever I’m craving sometimes. I don’t believe in being perfect. Right now my goal isn’t to lose weight. It’s actually the opposite. I’m focusing on building strength and gaining healthy weight in a way that feels good for my body. And honestly.. seeing my body finally respond after such a difficult chapter has been one of the most unexpected parts of healing 🖤 - @ingaterner
