This Is Where I Am Now - 3 Months After My 'Breakdown'


Where am I now!??

So since my last reveal all article back at the end of November
 I’ve been on a journey of finding my true self, create a new blueprint and trying to face my demons
It’s been a tough ride!
The supportive messages I received after that blog took me by surprise, I was expecting criticism  left, right & center. I had people I’ve not spoke to in ages inboxing me. Maybe it related to there own personal battle in some way it defo give me a huge boost.
I’d like to think In some way I inspired some people to open up a bit more & realise it's ok not to be perfect. I know from a fitpro point of view it’s sooo much easier for me being open and honest with NOTHING to hide. I’m not a robot, I’m human.
I'm finding I can interact with people a lot more, I don't have to have a persona or a fake front. I can finally be myself! 
So recently I’ve had a plenty of people asking how I’m doing with my journey or where I’m at with things, so I thought I’d give you all an update…
I’ll be honest it’s been hard work, emotional eating and addiction isn’t something  that I could over come within weeks.  I still have mental battles with myself most days - sometimes the devil wins sometimes it doesn’t but it’s all progress. I’m more aware of it nowadays and I think that makes it easier to make the right decision.
I’ve also had like 2 takeaways this year which is a MAJOR improvement because last years mentality was 2 a weekend!

I still go out every Thursday with the boys but I’ve swapped my lager for gluten free strongbow and sometimes I even drink water and spice it up with some lemon, the lads are really supportive of me and don’t give me toooooo much shit haha. (they are lads after all)
I’ll be honest it took me a lot to start training again in 2013 but I threw myself into it this week, I know I missed 7 weeks but I’ve started, better to start late than never at all. I'm rocking out with some weight training and man am I sore! (yeah probably payback, I know)
Here’s the one thing I’m MADE up with - is my body…no more fat trainer for me!!

I’ve worked a lot on my nutritional habits, like I said it’s been tough but this isn’t a quick fix this is long term, I’m gonna stumble but my recovery is miles better nowadays.

Here’s me now…
