Hi everyone,
After many years of being absent on MFP I have decided it's time to come back and get motivated again. Initially I used MFP daily & loved it. However, life just got real busy and I just slowly stopped using it.
A bit about me - I'm Jem ๐ I want to lose a few kilos, tone up and become a healthier version of myself.
I struggle with major insecurities. Especially when I see photos of myself. I feel like what I see in the mirror and what I see in photos taken of me are two completely different people. As vain as this sounds.. it breaks me a little inside.
So I'm here for motivation & support. I want to be physically and mentally healthier. Over the years I've allowed myself to fall out of touch with who I am, I've allowed myself to lose confidence in me as a person, I've allowed myself to lose motivation, and worst of all I've allowed myself to start comparing myself to others and treating myself like I'm not enough.
I want to do better by me now.
