My Brain Healing Is The Foundation I am Building To My Life Worth Living
Here’s a quote that stood out to me and I saved it on Instagram.
I’ve always thought “I wish we saw the stories where people lost weight gradually over time-and did do without an obsessive intent just to look better” so I am going to be that story.
To be fully transparent, you will not see mentions of numbers (weight, sizes, calories, etc.) or transformation photos from me. I do feel rooted in doing this the right way (not sensationalized or shame-based). The recovery community keeps me accountable in being mindful of everyone’s triggers and I am very understanding that weight loss may not be everyone’s path. I hold a responsibility in these spaces and I still take that very seriously.
This is just one element of my journey; I expand on this in the writing. Weight loss is more of a byproduct than the sole focus-I feel that’s best for me. I feel comfortable being open about this part of my journey today. Know that me being open about my journey never gives you the right to berate anyone about their health, size or weight. Our health and out bodies are our own.
Lastly, if you ever feel the need to congratulate me on my weight loss, I ask that you recognize my mental health journey instead. My brain healing is the foundation I am building my life worth living. Lexie Manion
Happiness is not a one-sized fits all. I didn’t want the same (and still don’t want the same).
Because of that, I came to terms with always to a certain degree, being a certain degree of separation from my peers around me, not in a bad way.
I related to the brain healing part of the quote the most.
It’s 2022 at the time of this writing, but by the time you read it, it will be 2024. I had to write a ton of content ahead of time to stay consistent despite what’s happening. 🔥🙌
