Awhile ago there was a really fun #fitblog chat on Twitter hosted by Jack Sh*t. If you haven’t checked out his website<\/a> or follow him on Twitter<\/a>, I suggest you do because he’s absolutely hilarious. Here is just a taste of his wicked sense of humor:<\/p>\n

If you missed the fitblog chat he hosted, I’m going to share the questions here. It was a fun topic and really made me think about where I see myself in the future.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Q1) If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your parents on the day you were born?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would ask my mom to not give me a food or body complex. I’m sure she thought she was helping at the time but her comments really did the opposite<\/a>. It made me rebel against her restrictions, I’d binge eat at friend’s houses and sneak and hide bad food. This wasn’t a healthy way to grow up. I never developed a healthy relationship with food or exercise. I hated soccer and gymnastics but my parents made me do it, thus it felt like exercise was punishment.<\/p>\n

I would ask my parents to actually TEACH me how to eat a healthy diet and learn what calories really mean. Sure it seems like a “duh” kind of a thing but I really, honestly had no idea what “eating healthy” meant until I started counting my calories.<\/p>\n

Q2) What advice would you give your teenage self?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would tell my teenage self several things. The first thing is that FOOD IS NOT THE ANSWER. Food is not where I should turn when I’m angry, sad, grieving, etc. It may temporarily salve the wound but it’s not a real fix and just leads to more problems.<\/p>\n

I would also tell myself that exercise can be fun. It doesn’t have to mean torture and humiliation in gym class<\/a>–it can be something fun if I choose the right activity.<\/p>\n

Q3) What advice would you give yourself one year ago today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would tell myself last year to learn how to stress less about the little things that don’t matter, learn how to relax, learn how to take a break without stressing out about it. I would tell myself to do more yoga and just live in the moment. Something I struggle with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I would also tell myself to do more fitness events, even if they are smaller goals I want to achieve. Sometimes it really is about the journey and not the finish line. I wish I had done a few 5k races this summer, and a 50 mile bike event or two. That’s my goal for next summer!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Q4) You visit yourself one year from today; what happens?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My sincere hope is that I have my book published, or in the process of being published.<\/p>\n
