Have you ever looked in the mirror and feel like your body is the punchline of a joke no one told you was coming? Yeah—same.

Here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: confidence doesn’t magically show up after you hit your goal weight. If anything, your insecurities get louder when you’re in the middle of change.

So if you’ve ever skipped the beach trip, dodged photos, or changed five times before giving up and staying home? This post is for you.

Step One: Name the Story You’re Telling Yourself
If the voice in your head says “you’re too big,” “you’ll never change,” or “they’re judging you”—pause. That voice? She’s not the truth-teller. She’s your fear talking.

Step Two: Choose Compassion Over Critique
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re exhausted from carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs. What would you say to a friend who feels like you? Say that to yourself.

Step Three: Take the Power Back
Confidence is built through action. That walk you took today? That water bottle you filled up? That’s you showing up—even if you don’t feel ready yet.

Confidence isn’t “I love my body every day.” It’s “I show up even when I don’t.”
🦋 You’re not behind—you’re becoming.
