Nicole Dambro Instagram – ~𝔹𝕆𝔻𝕐 𝔻𝕐𝕊𝕄𝕆ℝℙℍ𝕀𝔸~ I used to have a very intense relationship with my fitness. In the competitive world of Los Angeles, I thought I’d have a leg up if I had the best body in the room. I obsessed over it. I was a total carbophobe, and wanted a backside like an Instagram model. I was in the best shape of my life, and still, I was transfixed with the extra flub on my tummy or the little bit on my arms. I only saw my imperfections, despite being in absolutely incredible shape. I noticed that I really had a problem after my surgeries (when I was withered away to skin and bone) and I LIKED the way I looked in the mirror. 😳 When I stepped back and looked a photo someone else took, it was a rudeeeee awakening (see fitness story highlights…)

Now that my body is starting to snap back and I can see my shape again, I’ve had to have a very real conversation with myself and my unrealistic expectations of perfection. It’s no more “don’t eat this or that” and work out like a maniac — it’s do what feels good, increase your flexibility, gain endurance slowly, and STOP when you’re at your limit. THAT’S health. Progress. Steady Commitment. And an honest conversation with yourself about your past with body dysmorphia. #iseemyselfclearly #bodydysmorphia #fitnikkidee #strongissexy #showupforyourself | Posted on 31/Jan/2020 04:52:59
