Past vs present

Stop letting your past define your present. Whether it be your history with weight/body image, relationship with food or glory days in the gym ... let it go. Accept where you are now so that you can move forward.

So many of us struggle with change because we are stuck in the past. We can’t move past our childhood attachment to “comfort” foods. We can’t get past the body we had at 20. We keep holding on to the weights we lifted before life overtook the gym.

We are not the same ppl we were 5,10,20 years ago. Responsibilities build, movement drops and convenience wins. So we have a choice: either keep hanging on to those old narratives of who you were and why you can’t change or… get over it.

At some point we must accept reality if we want to change it. And the only way to do that is to stop living in the past. Whether it’s an idealized image of who you were or the reason you are who you are today… you are right. The next step is to take your life back and write your own story.

Past is prologue. The story arc depends on how you accept the challenge. Will your story be the hero’s journey or Greek tragedy?
