I've talked about weight loss, specifically fat loss, for years because that's what many women want.…
The baddest women of them all aren’t the most ripped or slim…
This was the beginning of the post that I was tagged in today…here it is in (almost) full:
“The baddest women of them all aren’t the most ripped or slim…they’re the ones working 2 full-time Jobs, paying off student loans, helping everyone else, & still finding a way to take care of themselves! Am I right or am I right?!?! I’m just most inspired by REAL A** women that are doing life….”
I’ve been thinking about it all day, because the author is RIGHT!
Have you seen women on social media who either have a lot of time to spend in the gym or have a physique that is naturally more athletic and you think, “Ugh…what am I doing so wrong?” or “I’ll never be able to achieve that look!” ?
It can get you pretty down if you let it….but it doesn’t have to!
The fullness of our lives and our purpose doesn’t (dare I say “shouldn’t”) be measured by how ripped or skinny we are.
The women I know do take time for themselves, but not only for themselves, and that is real life.
The women I know own businesses, have a bunch (or just one ;) ) kids, they are taking care of parents AND college students, they give their time to volunteer, work really hard at their jobs, they are caring and giving mothers/daughters/sisters/friends, and THEY STILL fit in time to exercise….that is inspirational!
I want to let you know that YOU ARE AMAZING, and YOU are BEAUTIFUL. Ripped or not so much… :)
