5 years ago I was diagnosed with IBD, 5 years ago I lost all my strength. Looking back at these photos now makes me so emotional as I can see how I felt back then & it breaks my heart.

I wish I could tell my younger self to ignore all the comments about my weight, to focus on myself & getting my strength back. all I needed was time to look after myself, time for the medications to start working & get back on top of my health.

after finally getting diagnosed I started treatment, my first flare was around 1.5-2 years long. I lost weight, strength, friends, my mental health was at an all time low but I persevered.

Then I found the gym.

Then I got my strength back.

Thank you to @KrissyCelaa for inspiring me to start weightlifting. I’ve followed evolve you since the beginning of my journey back before the rebranding. and it changed my life
