Swipe for my "reverse" before & after ➡
I've got a secret I never imagined I'd share on social media: 🤫
I weigh more now than I ever have before. 🙈
The AFTER: Pic no. 1, March of this year 🌴
The BEFORE: Pic no. 2, 7 months prior in Belize 📆
As someone who struggled with anorexia when she was younger, it has been SO HARD trying to remember that what's on the scale is just a number, 🎚️
That what's on the scale doesn't fairly represent happiness gained, life situations improved, & soulmates met. ✨
It's hard for me to look back to less than a year ago & not be so envious, wishing that my body still looked like that 😖
But I've also had to remind myself of something else - ☝️
While I may be envious of how I looked last year, did healthy circumstances produce it? Hell no! 🙅
Back then I was:
- Psychologically traumatized by a horrible boss at my previous job 😭
- Unable to eat complete meals because my breathing anxiety would make me feel like my throat was closing up 💨
- Still reeling from my toxic ex cheating on me with a girl who had the same name as me, the stress of which made me vomit & lose my appetite 🤮
- In between things in life & uncertain of what the future held 😶
Fast forward to now, 10-15 lbs. heavier, & I:
- Have stopped needing to take anti-anxiety medication 💊
- Am eating complex, whole foods that are healthier than ever before 🥗
- Am lifting heavy weights & doing sustained cardio 6 days/week 🏋️‍♀️
- Have balanced my hormones & cleared my skin WITHOUT the need for toxic exogenous hormones ⚛️
- Have met the love of my life 💗
- Am pursuing a PhD at Oxford 🎓
I feel stronger & happier than I have in a very long time, & that is worth SO much more than the little number on the scale ⚖️
So whoever needs to hear this - keep going. Your life & its quality is represented by SO much more than a number 💙

Malta, Sicily, or Greece, Portugal, and a roadtrip

Malta, Sicily, or Greece, Portugal, and a roadtrip through Austria & northern Italy all look to be in the cards this summer ☀️
And maybe even a surprise trip to Miami in May for a conference - finally getting to travel for my research is an exciting opportunity I've waited a long time for 🤩
I'm loving that the world is reopening to travel & people are keener than ever to get out and go somewhere, with a newfound appreciation that there's so much to see! 🌍
What destinations are you traveling to this spring/summer? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Don't let anyone stand in the way of doing what makes you happy! ✨
The day these shots were taken ended in an amazing way, at the Dinarobin Beachcomber resort with a stunning view of Le Morne Brabant and an unreal fiery sunset 😍
There were some other girls staying at the resort who were HERE. FOR. IT. and made me feel the most empowered (and embarrassed haha) I've ever felt posing, whistling and shouting encouraging words at how good I looked! 🙈
But what you don't see here is what happened earlier that day at Chamarel Waterfall... 💁‍♀️
While we were shooting at the falls with the tripod, some Austrians walked up to the viewing platform and started making fun of me. Even though I couldn't fully understand it, I knew what they were doing 😔
Fortunately, Gregor was there and could understand everything they were saying, so he could surprise them with a comment in German as we walked away 😝
Their teasing got to me more than I care to admit. But the girls at Dinarobin later that day reminded me there's always going to be haters, and there's always going to be cheerleaders 📣
So listen to the cheerleaders (even if they're only in your own head right now) and ignore the rest! 🌈
Cuz the others hating on you? They don't matter, and their opinions don't matter, so say 'bye and keep doing you and what makes you happy 😊
As for those haters? I hope they find something that sets their souls on fire as much as travel and photography do for me 😘

I'm a solo traveler at heart, but you're the first

I'm a solo traveler at heart, but you're the first person to make me actually love traveling as a couple ❤
This was our first big holiday & the first time we spent 10 days straight together! 👩‍❤️‍👨
And you know what? We didn't want to kill each other at the end of it 😂
In fact, I only want to spend even more time with you now 🥰
You've begun to convert this solo traveler - maybe 😉
Life is better, sweeter, & simply easier with you by my side 🥰
Have you found a travel partner you're willing to "tolerate" as a solo traveler? 😉 Tag them in the comments! 💙

This is my mood when the sea matches the sky 🌊
Just absolutely in awe of the incredible beauty of Mauritius. Counting my lucky stars every day that we get to call this 'home' for 9 days 🤩
Security is going to have to drag me out when it's time to fly back to the UK 🥲
