I realized that I stopped recording fitness videos and posting pictures on my other social media sites. I feel it’s because of all the pressures I have faced as a woman to achieve perfection. I stopped posting because I was waiting, waiting to be skinner, more toned, and have achieved more PERFECTION.
In society, mostly instagram, we are taught that we have to get our eyebrows microbladed, our eyelashes extended, we have to contour our faces with makeup, wear hair extensions, have an amazing wardrobe, have the perfect body, have huge asses and tits, small waists, perfect skin, get laser hair removal, and if you can’t achieve that naturally, then you should go under a knife.
I’m am absolutely tired of holding myself to these standards and we’re created and instilled in our brains over time. These standards are completely out of my reach and out of my control, and enough is enough. Yesterday I got the courage to work with what I had and stop waiting for perfection because if I keep waiting, I’m going to be waiting forever.
You go girl,
Rely on what you see in yourself; Others cannot know you nearly as well, especially if they are judging the more superficial, other-pleasing parts.

You only need to be comfortable with yourself. It's too stressful worrying about attaining some 'perfection' to appease others. Glad you realized this.

It’s slowly but surely sinking in! I just wish others would realize this too, we would live in a much more beautiful world.

It’s crazy, I made a post in italian (my mother language) about perfectionism yesterday. I feel the same way most of the time with my posts on social media, I tend to delay whenever I feel that it is not perfect to post, when I should focus on the message that I want to share instead...and by the way as I follow you on Insta I can tell you after seing some of your posts that you are great as a fitness blogger! I know that maybe you can’t be objective with yourself, but believe me it’s true :)

Great minds think alike 😉
I am the same exact way...honestly it’s more exhausting to reach for perfection anyway and people tend to relate and like you more for the real you.
I saw that you followed me, I followed back!
Thanks so much that means a lot :)

Literally this is the topic of my next video! And a huge reason why I am starting my company with the mission that I have. When I first thought about embarking on the journey to help people work out for the right reasons (especially young girls), I felt the same way. I was terrified to post that fitness video on here. I thought to be a role model, I needed to be more fit and toned as you said. But screw that -- I can't preach to love ourselves if I can't do it myself! Proud of you chica for screwing the standards and you'll have to watch my next video and let me know what you think! Keep doing you and never let a standard get in your way bc there is no perfect body. And you, my dear, are stunning!!!
