It took me a long time to realize I never felt as good in my own body when I was “skinny” as much as when I focused on strength. With strength, my photography jobs with very long days carrying very heavy equipment around becomes easier. So does committing to getting on my bike or lifting weights every week… and being able to do fun things with my kids like snowboarding. All of it feels better than any passing high or comfort I ever got from eating things that didn’t serve my body. And come to think of it, eating foods that fuel my body end up tasting better too. Don’t get me wrong, I love my wine and chocolate and everything else - I’ll literally eat anything, but when I shifted my focus to prioritize what gives me strength, it’s been mind blowing for me 🤯 Not sure who said that first quote… Paris Hilton maybe? But I’ve altered it for us ❤️ #photographer #photographersoftiktok #photographerslife #professionalphotographer #strongoverskinny
