Body Image Issues HAVE TO STOP!
Soooo..my first business photoshoot! Only some of the amazing photos taken by the lovely @cmachados.ph on instagram.
She's a great photographer because she makes her client feel very comfortable to be themselves and in their own time, at their own pace and captures their authenticity every time so I highly recommend. 🥹🥰
For me, not only was this a business photoshoot, but I want to be really honest, it was more than that for me. It was a confidence boost, an experience of personal growth, love and acceptance. Because yes I'm a fitness coach, but it may come as a surprise or not, but I have struggled with body image for years! Yes, a fitness coach struggling with body image, SHOCKER! :D
The reality is, which thank God it is coming to light more these days among people, is that I have insecurities with my body, alot of fitness coaches do. Being in this industry has conditioned my mind to look a certain way, to look like a barbie doll figure. Yes every body type is beautiful but we are made feel so polarised in this day and age if we don't look like this Barbie doll type and IT HAS TO STOP!
I have been training consistently since I am 14, I am now 27 and I still am learning to love and accept my body. I AM NOT the typical looking gymshark or barbie body type, but hell am I fit and strong, as you'll see in more photos to come.
This is not to brag, this is my external self talk and healing being shared with you all, saying, 'Megan, it's okay to have curves or be broad shouldered or have a bit of a rounder face or bloat sometimes, because you know what, you're f***ing strong and fit and you're keeping your mind right about it all and that's all that matters' And I want to show that to people and help them find that confidence within themselves, men or women, because let's face it, we all, no matter what gender we are, experience these issues. We may express how it affects us in different ways, but at the end of the day, we are all human and struggle with it.
These photos and especially the ones to come, show my energy, my power, who I am from the fire of my soul and they show that I don't have to be a certain body type to look 'fit', be 'fit' or pull off the moves/exercises that you'll see in the future photos we took.
I am muscly and broad and have curves here and there and yeno what...IM GONNA STOP WAITING TO LOVE THEM! If this resonates with you, you're looking to train and you want a positive space to train, let's get in touch!
