The habit of sleeping and gathering all night after my college became my unhealthy lifestyle mantra, and I found myself 40 pounds overweight, frustrated and anxious.
Tell the enemy "Goodbye"! (Source: jacoblund / iStock / GettyImages) Worse, one day, a good friend told a group of girls that I didn't look like any photos I had on Facebook. - That, I am a "fat." I was shocked and humiliated.
This damage eventually forced me to move in the direction of changing my life. The gym became my stress reliever, and healthy food became my fuel. When I started to take care of myself from the inside out, the excess weight began to disappear.
Once I lose excess weight, building muscles becomes my goal. Soon my family and friends began to notice my thin, muscular appearance, and many people congratulated me on my achievements. But again, I found myself dealing with absurd comments such as "Don't be too thin" and "Don't be too big or look too masculine."
These statements angered me. What makes anyone have the right to tell me how to build my body?
Even during the 15 weeks of preparing for my first fitness game, I still face physical criticism. At this point in my life, I finally felt the power, but people could not help, but the body made me feel ashamed on social media. I received comments such as "roughness", "nutrition" and "masculinity" on Instagram posts. My heart is a bit awkward, knowing that people who are completely strange will spend time writing these hurtful comments.
No, I am so focused on exercise and healthy eating, there is always someone who doesn't agree with my body. At every stage of my life and my fitness journey - overweight, healthy weight, broken and competitive preparation - I have critics. Do you know what it taught me? People who are physically ashamed will not discriminate.
At first, I questioned if I was good enough? But this series of questions made me crazy, until one day I realized that I love my body, no matter how big I am. This is really important. [123
Not all enemies are equal, and the way each reaction is not necessarily the same. You have the right to transfer their negativity and insecurity.
Brittany Shelton (@brinkyfbaby) shared a post onThe following is me Five ways to deal with hypocritical people:
1. Turn their hatred into your power
When you read, hear or think of your hurtful comments on your body, use it as an opportunity to transcend yourself and make yourself stronger. The cycle of sniping and continuing damage won't let you go anywhere, but seeing you continue to live your life, loving your body can inspire people around you - whether it's in people or online.
2. Using their ignorance education
Through my physical transformation, I realized that many people do not believe that women have the ability to be in the gym. Sharing my bodybuilding journey opened the eyes of my family, friends and social media fans. Getting people into my world and sharing knowledge My achievements in this industry have become my passion, proving that women are an important part of the fitness world.
3. Responding to confidence
Only so many people can be pushed away. Firm self-confidence allows you to treat yourself with your own attitude and express your feelings in a respectful way. In addition, knowing that you stand up for yourself has a miracle of your confidence. You deserve to fight for it!
4. Going high
Selecting some silent comments on outside comments can prove that you are beyond drama. No matter how much you want to drive to someone, the more you ignore them, the less likely they are to attack you because they don't get the reaction you want. You have heard it before, but I will say it: sometimes you just need to be a bigger person.
5. Be helpful and have yourself
