We all start somewhere people 👏🏼 it takes a while, but everyone you see on Instagram you gawk over has taken the time to make little improvements little by little. . .
.
.
⬅️On the left was my senior year of high school. This is one year after I discharged from the hospital from my eating disorder. All I wanted was to gain muscle and have curves. I didn’t think it was possible since I was always y’all, lanky, with little muscle. I picked up weight lifting to try to build the body I wanted. .
. .
I was discouraged several times as I constantly compared myself to my idols with unrealistic expectations for myself. I didn’t start seeing serious progress until I stop obsessing over these people and focused on ME. What can JENNA do to make progress. .
.
I started eating more, lifting harder, and focusing on myself for once in my life. .
.
➡️If you would have shown me the picture on the right 4 years ago I would have told you that isn’t me. No way could I have curves. No way would I be comfortable in a crop top, no way would I be comfortable gaining 30-35 pounds (YES THIS IS TRUE) .
.
Am I 100% confident with myself? Helllllll no, but I’ve made a lot more progress. My eating disorder and I have been battling for years on how my body should look. Looking at these two pictures I am damn proud of myself for ignoring my ED and pushing through. .
.
ED and I still talk. It happens with recovery. We argues, he gets to me sometimes, but I rely on my support system to get me out. Looking at pictures like this is just a total FU to my disorder. I AM stronger than him. Even though he may win some days I’m going to win this war. It may be ugly, and I probably will have scares and bruises, but I will be on top. .
.
So this turned into a wild rant but here’s the message I wanted to give you: DONT STOP. If you want something bad enough you will find ways to get there. Whether it’s a financial goal, physical goal, or a mental goal like mine. You can do it, and STOP COMPARING YOUR STORY TO OTHERS. Okay much love 🥰
Okay?💜▪️If viewing follow 🌹
Make peace with the mirror and watch your reflection change ✨🌸 I started to tell myself that I was enough, because I had had enough of letting life slip through my fingers. I wanted to add life back into my days. I was sick of wasting days counting calories, feeling cold and hateful and alone. It’s unbelievable how truly fulfilling and bright and wonderful it is to create and live a life outside of an eating disorder. It all starts by finally allowing yourself to believe that you are worth recovering, finally telling yourself that you are enough 💕✨ P.s thank god I learned how to blend my contour 😅

If you want something, you’re gonna have to work for it. Plain and simple that’s how it is🤷🏼♀️. • I swear today people are lazier than they have ever been😒. People are constantly trying to find short cuts or an easy way out. Well ya know what? There is no short cut. If these people spent as much time and effort on actually working towards their goals as they did trying to find an easy way out, they would be reaching them like no other. • Your goal might not easy to obtain, but as my favorite quote says, “Nothing worth having comes easy.” And you know the feeling when you finally reach your goal after all the obstacles and struggles you faced along the way, it’s like no other>>>. • So suck it up buttercup. If you really want something you’re going to have to put in a whole lotta effort. But ya know what, in the end it’ll be so worth it😎. • Side note: this cropped hoodie is and I am major key obsessed😍

Often those who are facing addiction also have an underlying mental illness. If left untreated it can make the chances of recovery or sobriety significantly decrease. Pacifica Recovery offers a dual-diagnosis program. By providing treatment for both the underlying mental illness and chemical dependency we help to provide a better opportunity at long term recovery. #addictionisamentalillness #mentalillness #mentalhealthawareness #addiction #dualdiagnosis #cooccurringdisorders #treataddiction #mentalillnessrecovery #recovery #sobriety #chemicaldependency #recoveryispossible #sobrietyispossible #anotherchance #palmsprings #palmspringslife #claremontvillage #claremontcolleges #claremontmckenna #healthymindbodysoul #mentalhealthy #healthymentality
Someone needs the part of the story you're ashamed to share. Someone needs to listen, learn, heal, and find hope knowing they are not alone. #recovery #mentalhealth
