Self-care starts with your physical health

Yes that's me...Self-care STARTS WITH YOUR BODY. I know that this isn't the best topic in the world for most people to stomach...I get that. I can tell you this, my life has been filled with constant battles of dealing with my body image and my weight. I was ALWAYS the fat kid in school. Malnourished and FAT! I have struggled time and again with food and in fact, twice in my life I have been obese. What I have discovered over the course of the last ten years is that food is not something that I have to be scared of. Now more than ever I cherish a great meal and a sweet here or there and maybe even a glass of wine, whereas in the past I would bury myself in those things to avoid having to be present in the emotion of the pain of the trauma of my past. That’s very common for many people. Here’s what I know about being obese twice in my life: the most important thing that you can do if you are serious about self-care is to start working on your physical body! There is absolutely no way in hell that you are going to get mentally healthy if you are not physically healthy. If you can’t walk up the stairs you will never be able to fully step in to health. I understand it feels daunting at first especially if you were like me and morbidly obese, I was 150 pounds overweight. That is an entire human being. I will tell you this, it has taken me a nonstop effort day in and out for years to be where I’m at now and I am still putting in work because I believe so much that in order to be emotionally healthy we have to first be physically healthy. If you aren’t sure where to start the very first thing that you should do is just beginning to take out some thing that you know is bad for you like soda, sugary candy, and fast food. In fact don't ever eat fast food again because that shit is poison. Work I know you've tried 1 million times to do this but the truth of it is if you want to get healthy it is discipline that is going to get you there. If you're reading this right now and you don't believe me send me a message and I swear I will help you. No excuses. Just results. #thinkunbroken linktr.ee/Michaelunbroken
