Wisdom is in the not knowing.

Someone told me this a while ago and it never really made sense until recently.

Bless my 22-year-old self, thinking that she was so mature, had so much life experience and knew what life is about.

10 years later, I feel pretty immature.
I realise how much I don't know.

And that's okay, I am learning to relinquish control, approaching life with curiosity and wonder, and remaining open to whatever is.

Life resolves itself simply and elegantly when you come to accept your own "not knowing."
And inside of you, a natural reconditioning process happens.
You start to understand that you're capable of much more than you ever imagined.

Surround yourself with people who want to see you win.

Have you ever felt lonely, dismissed, that no one was "getting it"?

"just eat more"

"just have some discipline"

"just don't eat it"

"it isn't that bad"

"you are not big anyway"

While, it comes from a good intention, it dismisses your feelings.

Well, those feelings are real, it is your reality.

There is no such things as not being "sick enough", no fitting the exact textbook definition.
If it is impacting your life you deserve help, you deserve to be heard and seen.

Seek the people who have your back.
Seek the people who want to see you win.

This kind of message is what sets my Soul on fire!

From restrictions, training to get smaller and chasing an unsustainable six-pack to training for performance, nourishing and listening to her body.

But also

- the voyage in New York, being able to build memories and enjoying the moment without fear of food, guilt and anxiety.

- the Christmas without compulsive eating because food is just food and it will still be there the next day.

And all the wins along the way!
