Meet Emma!
Hi, I'm Emma!
For a long time I felt very bad about myself. This is also why I started exercising. I just came back from vacation and I could no longer look at my own body with love. I knew there was something I had to change because this could not continue. I put it off for quite a while, but after about 2 months I finally entered the gym and never left ;). In the beginning, of course, I really didn't know what I was doing and I thought I could just continue to eat how I normally ate. But you can't train away a bad diet, after a few months of working out in the gym I changed course and started making my entire lifestyle healthier.
After my previous summer holiday, where I had lost quite a bit of weight beforehand and was really proud of my body, I was unable to get back into my new rhythm after the holiday. I fell back into old habits and this involved binge eating. Within a few months I was back at the weight where I started my entire fitness journey. Of course it looked different because I had built up muscles, but I was certainly not happy with myself. I have started working again and have set new goals for myself, less difficult goals, so things are now going very well again and I have already lost 3 kg and I look at my body with pride because I mentally know how hard I work for it. .
The number on the scale is just a number. What is important is how you feel in your body. Furthermore, you should never give up, even if others say you can't do it or they think it will all just happen. You know how hard you work and you can be really proud of yourself.
The advice I would like to give everyone is: find something that makes you happy. Even if everyone does strength training in the gym, that doesn't mean that you will be happy about it. The best exercise to do is the one you enjoy and can maintain and that will give you the most results.
I would also like to say that you should be kind to your fellow man, but also to yourself. Love yourself first. And look for positivity in the little things because that really makes life much more beautiful!
Together with the other IGOONIES, I would like to advocate for this. IGOON - I Go On, that I will never give up on my dreams and goals. Even if everyone contradicts me, I'll go for it. And I would like to bring out the best version of everyone and that is what IGOON stands for. And if I can contribute to that, it makes me very happy.
Love, Emma
