196. Letting Go of the Old Clothes and Embracing the New YOU on Your Fitness Journey
Description
Something that is NOT talked about enough is the emotional rollercoaster that comes with cleaning out your closet, because…it’s never *just* about the clothes.
I recently tried on some of my favorite shorts that I’ve had for years, and they just fit…differently. I started spiraling, and my thoughts were going everywhere from “Should I keep them?”, to “Should I try to shrink myself back into them?!”
Talk about a total mindf*ck moment!!
The truth is, our bodies change, even when we’re getting healthier. We don’t always talk about how positive progress can feel weird, or uncomfortable. It’s hard, and super emotional!
It’s okay to outgrow old clothes AND old versions of yourself. Be thankful for the person you used to be and how they shaped who you are now…and then say goodbye.
Remember - self-love and fitness go FAR beyond the numbers or the fit of your clothes. They’re about growing into your happiest and healthiest self, inside and out!
In this episode, we cover:
- Embracing my new curves as I outgrow old clothes (and old versions of me)
- The emotional rollercoaster of body changes and clothes no longer fitting
- Staying intentional and rooted in YOUR goals during body recomp
- Welcoming the new version of you, while honoring the one you’re leaving behind
