![]() I used to find flaws before I found cause for celebration Now I look in the mirror, take pictures, & send check ins like “YESS CELESTE!!!” I’ve ridiculed myself, picked myself apart, Hell I’ve given myself disordered eating, negative body image, & harmful habits like exercise abuse just to see more things to “fix” That was so exhausting The love I’ve cultivated for myself is partly rooted in how my physique looks As a bikini competitor I wouldn’t lie about that But the difference is I don’t take a pic or look at myself anymore & immediately say “omg look at my fat roll” or “ugh I hate that cellulite” or “why is my stomach so big” even though that WAS my normal for awhile I looked at this pic & instantly noticed the progress I’ve made in my glutes & hams I recognized myself for my dedication & hard work BEFORE I even snapped the photos or reviewed them (major key btw) I even said that left leg cellulite hole is kinda cute & might as well love it while it is here You don’t have to get caught up in THE look, THE shape, THE size, THE number, THE THE THE I can almost guarantee you that the more you focus on taking care of yourself, the more willing you are to commit to real mindset shifts, the more you choose LOVE over LOATHE even when all you see are “things that aren’t good enough” Then the more you will LOVE your body & start seeing the AMAZING before getting worked up over what will SOON BE MORE AMAZING As athletes in a sport that we are judged by our physique in, we still need to find ways to improve it You can’t just naively ignore the standards if you truly want to be competitive But also know, your actions consistently overtime will always mean more to you than any immediately visible result will Even an immediately visible result is only satisfying because YOU DID THAT FOR YOURSELF Helllloooo this is the part where you are literally CREATING your best self so why wouldn’t you embrace yourself for that? Literally you’re action today breeds the love you’ll have tomorrow but the love you put into the action you take today will dictate just how powerful that action can be for tomorrow #BUILDMORETHANJUSTABODY with me, Contact me now❤️😊
