During my twenties, I was all about the fitness lifestyle. Counting calories, carrying food in Tupperware containers, and training like a donkey on speed.
I was also feeling unhealthy, unfulfilled, and constantly injured because of it.
When I eventually realised that the mountain I thought I was building was actually a hole I had dug, I knew I didn’t want to stay in it. Being a fitness addict wasn’t working.
I looked at everything I was doing, used it to guide me going forward, and slowly adopted a more reasonable, balanced approach to health and fitness.
When your health and fitness aren’t where you want them to be…
It helps to stop and look back at what you’ve tried in the past. And how would this look if you’d do the opposite?
And then gradually take the steps that take you there.

ps. Here’s a more elaborate version of my fitness addiction.
