The feedback I got from so many people was amazing and it circles the internet daily falling into the hands of the right people.<\/p>\n

What was my aim in writing the blog and why did I get a little raw in it \u2026?<\/p>\n

Quite simply, it\u2019s my story.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the point in telling something half arsed \u2026<\/p>\n

I wanted to share how I had changed my life around in such a short period of time and what it took for me to do it.\u00a0 It\u2019s taken a lot for me to talk in black and white \u2026 I don\u2019t talk about my personal life to anyone other than a select 1 or 2.<\/p>\n

In this blog post, I\u2019d like to touch on a subject that effects so many people and that is body image, lack of confidence or insecurities and the pressure society is under with all this social media.\u00a0I\u2019m putting myself right out of my comfort zone and opening a piece of me that nobody sees. \u00a0I\u2019m going to talk about what I know, my experience and the pressure I put myself under working in this industry.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always struggled with my weight but 10-15 yeas ago I was a lot heavier, quiet unfit but I had confidence. I never hid away body parts, I didn\u2019t let it all hang out either but if I remember right, I felt quite comfortable in my own skin even when it came to relationships.\u00a0 However now I\u2019m very much the total opposite \u2026 and I know why.<\/p>\n

The 8 years since I started my journey, a journey that was never planned, I could never imagine myself doing what I\u2019m doing now. \u00a0This is where the problems started.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In my first blog<\/a> I told you all how I lost I think it was around 4 \u00bd stone so during that time I was training quite aggressively and building some nice lean muscle. It took the guts of 2-3 years to actually get to where I felt absolutely amazing, I mean I had a full 8 pack, I was ripped, 8% body fat, now in my mirror I wasn\u2019t too thin but when I look at photos now my god Its scary. \u00a0I looked like a 14-year-old child not a curve to my name. During this time, I was given some slack, you know the usual from your ma<\/p>\n

\u201cSharon your going to thin”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not healthy”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But one person who had affected me mentally already for many years was saying horrible things about me behind my back and even sent a few text messages to me. I mean telling a woman she \u201clooks like a man” kind of knocks the shit out of your self-esteem and confidence. You take it on the chin, but it hurts deep down. That comment has affected me dramatically.<\/p>\n

I have learned there are two types of people in this world. The nice, genuine caring type are the people I surround myself with. The other type, well they try get in but I\u2019ve no time for that shit.\u00a0I choose whom I have in my circle of friends and family.\u00a0 I also choose whom to allow into my personal life and my professional life.<\/p>\n

That was the start of me having this mental image of myself, being overweight and bulky. Looking back, that was also around the time that I started having anxiety attacks.\u00a0I was still really lean but that soon changed when I fought for Ireland and my Personal Training career took off with a bang. I was working nonstop, there were no boundaries, no balance and within a year I was no longer lean or fit as a fiddle. I still trained whenever I could, but I was running a gym, a home on my own, going through a lot of personal stuff\u2026 so yep my 6 solid meals a day and my 2-3 training sessions were gone out the window.<\/p>\n

I was back to square one, not completely back, but I was a lot worse when I stood and looked in the mirror. I cried. What has happened to me?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Again, I\u2019m a personal trainer who wants to hire a trainer who was out of shape. \u00a0Again, it\u2019s all about the body image. \u00a0I\u2019m following all these “instafamous” trainers, everything is perfect I mean their lifestyle is flawless. \u00a0For the 50th million time I\u2019d say \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s it shar get your act together, I\u2019ve done it before I can do this again”<\/p>\n

WRONG. \u00a0Constantly falling off the wagon, no motivation, no confidence in myself and totally insecure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m also single and struggle so badly with dating. \u00a0I mean \u2026 \u00a0I\u2019m by far the leanest person in the world \u2026 I mean why would a man want to date or have a relationship with someone that looks like a man, bulky shoulders and bulky legs. I felt horrible like disgusting, always checking myself in the mirror, pinching the lumps of fat on my arms, legs and tummy. Not being able to take a compliment and I don\u2019t mean out of shyness but out of total disbelief, I mean what are these people seeing that I don\u2019t see. Never mentally knowing how to overcome this or how to look at my body in a different way.<\/p>\n

So, time went on, I opened my first business and again that little balance went out the window. Hard work went into every single person and I loved every minute of it. Then I caught that glimpse in the mirror. That set me off, I neglected everything I promoted. This made me hit rock bottom, mentally I couldn\u2019t cope with looking and feeling like this anymore. \u00a0I knew I had to change how I was thinking, figure out where I was going wrong with myself. Everything else was going great, my business, my kids, all brilliant. \u00a0Something wasn\u2019t quite right with me. \u00a0I needed to fix me for more than 1 reason \u2026<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t get a balance going until I balance out my mind and what the hell is going on with it.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is where Sharon Hughes life coaching<\/a> came in to help me. \u00a0I did tell you about her in my last blog<\/a>. \u00a0I went to this lady to see where I was going wrong. She changed my way of thinking, stopped me focusing on diet and pressures of life.<\/p>\n

Why was I putting myself under so much pressure to look like a fitness model on Instagram when I know A LOT of it is photoshopped? I mean, while there are some great realistic profiles out there, sadly the majority of these profiles in the Instagram fitness industry are fake , when it come to these women with tiny waistlines, the perfect peachy bum, amazing arms, legs and shoulders, perfect hair, perfect skin and teeth having this perfect man sprawled across the bed with Netflix and chilling!! Yep it can be motivating to many but when your getting nowhere it takes you into a deeper hole. That\u2019s where it took me.<\/p>\n

I expanded the business, my clientele expanded. I didn\u2019t carry much stress as I was a lot happier in the unit I moved into. Life was good but still that horrible lack of confidence, horrible fatty problems, everything you put on is tight. I\u2019ve gone to prep coaches, high ranked prep coaches and all amazing, but I\u2019m not a body builder I can\u2019t live on 1300\/1400 cals a day. I can\u2019t stand in a gym doing 4 sets of 12 of a seated press. \u00a0I\u2019ve tried but end up dumbbell snatching and bouncing around the floor doing burpess because that\u2019s me, I crack up I need intense metabolic training.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m starting to come to terms with how I am and how I look.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My mindset is a lot more relaxed and opened to acceptance or maybe I\u2019m just turning a corner in maturity who knows.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m curvy which I like, I\u2019m womanly which I also like.\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s getting the body fat down while holding onto the beautiful muscle that I worked hard as hell for and to build some more as time goes on.\u00a0When I look in the mirror now I try focus on what parts of my body I like which has made a massive difference. I\u2019ve unfollowed so many people on social media because they made me so annoyed with the fakeness and crap that come out of their mouth. That shit has an effect on most women today, especially the next generation!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve taken on a new venture with my training and nutrition.\u00a0 I\u2019m making it a lot easier and manageable for myself. I use a catering company called AB Catering Ashbourne<\/a> for all my prepped meals. My new training with a Crossfit Cnoc<\/a> Duleek has relit that spark for me. I’m studying nutrition more than ever, going over all my old notes and a lot from bloggers and fit posts. This year I plan on completing a diploma in it \u2026 because nutrition is key to everything.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve upped my macros and all my client\u2019s macros, I\u2019m checking and logging everything, mentally I feel fantastic, physically and emotionally I\u2019m in a pretty good place and I\u2019m so energetic.<\/p>\n

This is all down to the balance I\u2019ve built up over the last few months of course I fell off the wagon but got straight back on and didn\u2019t wallow in it like I’d normally do.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know I\u2019m not on my own with this one so best of luck if you have taking something from it. Also love to hear peoples progress stories, so gimme a mail and share your success.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be keeping you all posted on the progress. Thanks for taking time to read my blog.<\/p>\n
