Everything we see and are told on the internet is not always good for you! A lot of fitness coaches are just people who have skinny bodies. Bodies the size that society says people should be. These fitness coaches (not all obviously) just regurgitate the toxic and unhealthy myths of how they and are told bigger bodied people should be on their fitness journey. I refuse to take advice from people who haven't in my shoes.

I raised Myself! My dad got cancer when I was 10 and he was in the hospital a lot by the time I was 11 or 12 years old. I took care of everything when my dad went into the hospital. The bills, cooking, cleaning, all while living on my own as a kid when my father went into the hospital. The roles were reversed and I took on the caretaker role for my father at around 11 years old.

You get to have all different kinds of goals on your fitness journey. You don't have to have a goal weight, especially not a goal weight from the BMI chart. Everyones body is different and it's ok to allow your body to get to whatever weight feels best for your body.

When he moved in with me, he took over my bedroom. My bedroom that has been mine since I was 7 years old. At 19, a few months after my dad died, I lost my only space that had become my refuge and was living and sleeping in my living room so my boyfriend could move in with me and have my room.

Getting Enough Sleep is so important to your fitness journey because, for me, when I don't get enough sleep, I literally eat everything in sight, trying to get some sort of energy from that food. It's at that time that I don't eat healthy and don't make the best choices for myself and my health.

*Trigger Warning* Talking about drugs and eating disorders

Alcohol and weed always made me binge eat everything and then I would feel so much shame and hatred about eating so much. But, I wanted to numb my feelings and somehow have something that could comfort me. So, when I discovered cocaine, it quickly became my drug of choice because it made me not even want to eat, which I thought was a good thing. On this episode, I dive deep into this.

*Trigger warning* Eating disorders

As a kid, I went through sexual, mental and verbal abuse and I used food to numb my feelings. All my life, I always overate and binge ate food in order to push my feelings down.

Are you a people pleaser too? I spent most of my life being a people pleaser. Desperately wanting people to like me and love me, so I always said yes to them and did whatever they wanted me to do. What I realized is I put myself last on the list of priorities to please everyone else and that was very harmful for me.
