Overworked to the point of self-harm.

This was me back in 2015 when everyone was telling me that I ‘looked great’, but nothing was great in my life at all.
-
I was going through immense stress that you can clearly see in the photo through my physical body and energy: loss, chronic pain and injury, over-training, over-working, moving 3 times in this year, topped off with betrayal.
-
Although I’ve had my battles with eating disorders and body image issues, I was eating — none of it would stick on + I was about 10lbs lighter than I am now.
-
I had a 6-pack of ‘abs’ and none of it mattered because I was in pain and couldn’t function to enjoy my active lifestyle.
-
This all snowballed into a severe burn out that I am still recovering from in every area of my life.
-
There was no choice but to transform and now I do not take my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and well-being for granted.

Before you give someone a complement about how ‘great’ they aesthetically look, ask them how they are doing first and really mean it — then you’ll get to the core.
