HEALTH
By Traci Townsend
It’s time to be your own, unique
self!
And if you are ready to start
your fat loss journey, but you
don’t know where to start or
you want some accountability
and guidance to reach your
goals, I’m here for you. Check
out my website https://
www.fitnesswithtraci.com/ for
information about my online
fitness and nutrition services.
Here’s what I need you to know.
You do not have to be perfect
to be fit. You do not have to be
a certain size to be fit. You do
not have to have a restrictive or
limited diet to be fit. In fact, I
believe, there is a unique fit for
each person, but what tends to
happen is we compare ourselves
to others. We compare our looks
to others and we compare our
habits to others. And I think we
compare ourselves to others
so much that we begin to lose
ourselves and undervalue who we
uniquely are.
I am also working on not
comparing my fitness to that of
others. It’s hard, but I’m working
on it and you can, too. As I’ve
grown in my fitness journey,
fitness has become about
understanding how movement
and nutrition affect my body
and the best way that I can
incorporate them into my lifestyle.
And I think that’s what everyone
should try to do - determine
how to incorporate movement
and nutrition into their lives
and recognize that it might look
different from someone else, and
that’s okay.
There was a podcast that I
recently listened to that focused
on weight loss and the messages
that society sends about larger
body sizes. In this podcast, Dr.
John Berardi and guests discuss
the biases held against people of
larger body sizes. This podcast
offers a variety of perspectives
on the topic and several things
resonated with me, especially
this statement, “...it means that
people make their own choices
about how best to meet their
own health and fitness goals and
that when they are doing so they
don’t have to stigmatize other
people on their weight or their
appearance.”
A coach can provide detailed
information about health and
fitness and support you along
your fitness journey. However,
you are the expert of yourself
and, as a team, you and your
coach can determine your own,
unique fitness goals. You know
yourself better than anyone else.
That’s all for now.
Stay focused and fierce friends!
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE
PERFECT TO BE FIT. YOU DO
NOT HAVE TO BE A CERTAIN
SIZE TO BE FIT. YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO HAVE A RESTRICTIVE
OR LIMITED DIET TO BE FIT.
