This video is me answering the question I was asked many months ago about I felt being transparent in both a negative and positive way. Basically I talk about how I went from being the bully to being bullied and how it changed me into who I am today and how I rock to my own beat. I hope all of you enjoy. “Everyone has skeletons in their closet, I am just brave enough to admit mine”. Keep in mind I have never made light of someone’s body type or weight.
Your fitness blogger,

You can assume I have a love for fitness & a love for Wonderwoman -- both assumptions are correct.
I am an ACSM certified personal trainer of 8+ years -- I currently reside in Ohio and live a simplistic life at the age of 29. If I am not lifting, I am eating, sleeping, traveling, exploring, or movie watching. I recently moved during a pandemic, now I am focused on self care (self love), building a business of my own in personal training, becoming a professional blogger, starting a podcast and doing things that make me happy! I am a sister, daughter, and loyal friend --- I love everyone's dog and I am on a mission to pet as many dogs as possible everywhere I go! LOL.
My mission is to talk health (physical/mental), design programming, motivational speak, learn, grow, prosper, build others and make as many people smile as possible because I want nothing more than to be the change I seek in the world.

Be the best version of you 
I used to do the same thing and make myself feel better by putting others down. It was mainly because all the other girls at school were always doing it and I didn’t want to seem like that weird girl who isn’t like the rest and also because I was really insecure at the time about how I looked. Luckily I didn’t do that for very long cos honestly it made me feel like shit to make fun of others and eventually I thought about it and decided that it’s better to be different than be like everyone else and make other people feel like crap.
I feel like the media has way too much power over how someone should look and they are a major reason as to why so many people have eating disorders. Like you said no one cares about being happy and healthy anymore, everyone just wants to look like the models in magazines. People just put too much time and effort into what they look like instead of using that time and effort on things that are way more important.
As always loved the video 🙂

Thank you for being open and honest about your story! this was very well written and explained. I enjoyed it very much so. It helps to know I am not the only one who has made petty decisions that have put others down, I know sometimes people like to come off as “perfect” never do anything wrong, always abide by the rules kinda thing. I did this post so that others knew I wasn’t always on one side of the spectrum, that I made the same decisions as the bullies did to me for maybe the same reasons, that once you are on one side you feel powerful, but when you land on the opposite side it makes you feel defeated.
I do agree that people put their looks first and happiness second. We would rather spend 100 dollars on jeans to look good, in hopes someone else notices we are wearing 100 dollar jeans than to wear 40 dollar jeans because for some reason 40 dollar jeans can make one feel not so confident, not so pretty. We have a thing for trends and if people are at the gym getting big muscles, we feel as though we need to too. We are never content with being ourselves because we make things a competition. We always have to have what someone else has or better to be satisfied, we have to be the center of gravity to feel important…
Thank you listening to my video 🙂

I feel like a lot of people went through that phase where they were just total assholes for a while cos I was just talking to one of my friends about this and she said she went through something similar. I think it’s important to remember that even though we did something wrong at least we learnt from our experience and became better people because sometimes people don’t change and stay that way which is really sad.
Yes people spend an insane amount of money on materialistic things and not realise that none of these things will make you truly happy. We need to stop looking at what others have and just be happy with what we have because honestly it could be worse.

You are very right, it could be. I always pity myself but then I have to think, my life isn’t bad, I have things that others would only dream of. I could be living on the streets, starving, I could have no family, raised in the system, I could be forced to be enslaved and beaten.. so yes.. you are right it could always be worse.
I like to think some people have grown out of that phase, but perhaps not, not everyone has grown out of it. I am just happy we have.

Yes exactly it could be a lot worse and sometimes you just have to remind yourself that.
I guess some people just don’t change and pettiness helps them feel better about themselves. I guess we have matured enough to understand that hurting someone is wrong which is a really good thing
