Anna Victoria DGAF That She’s The Heaviest She’s Ever Been

Instagram

Anna Victoria has gained a few kgs as of late (coz, holidays, health issues and generally being human). But rather than stressing about it – which only ever makes things worse – she’s taking it all in her stride.

"I weigh the most I've ever weighed in my life right now," she shared in an Instagram Story. "But that number on the scale ain't nothin but a thang."

“I really wanted to share this message. That you can be confident even in the midst of weight gain,” she continued in a separate post on her feed. “You can be confident at ANY size and I strongly believe that.”

Weighing the most I've ever weighed in my life currently and I ain't even mad about it 😏💁‍♀️ . I posted this on insta stories... but I really wanted to share this message. That you can be confident even in the midst of weight gain. You can be confident at ANY size and I strongly believe that. Do I still believe it's incredibly important to take care of your physical health through exercise and a proper diet. Yes, 100%. But if you're on your fitness journey, heck, even if you haven't started your fitness journey, every single person on this earth deserves to love and appreciate their body. Self-hate has no place in this world. And that's why mental and emotional health is just as important in this journey as your physical health. . So whether you've lost 50 lbs and are still working on that last 10, or you're just now trying to start a fitness journey... or maybe you reached your fitness goal and you're just maintaining, OR maybe you never wanted to lose weight to begin with... SHAKE WHAT YA MAMA GAVE YA!! 💃🙌🤩 #realtalk #fbggirls #fbgcommunity www.annavictoria.com/fitbodyapp

That said, Anna’s still committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which includes sticking to a regular workout routine and fuelling up with nourishing food. She’s simply refusing to punish herself for letting her figure change, and instead treat her body as a blessing – all that it is and all it can do.

Hi girls! I wanted to share this video to document where I'm at and keep it real with you all. I want to preface this by saying I'm not upset with where I'm at at all, but as hard as it is to show this on Instagram since it's a visual platform, the biggest difference is in how I feel. Traveling for a few weeks and not working out regularly made my energy levels dip, not to mention eating 50/50 (as necessary as it is in the moment) still leaves me feeling a bit sluggish and triggers digestive issues for me. So I'm excited to get back to my usual routine of working out and eating 80/20! Since I'm still on my fertility journey, I'm not looking to lose weight necessarily, but I do want to work out, feel strong, and eat healthy because it's when helps me feel my best mentally and emotionally, which is so important for both a fitness and a fertility journey. I'll update you girls in 4 weeks, I hope you'll be kicking 🍑 with me!!

“Do I still believe it’s incredibly important to take care of your physical health through exercise and a proper diet? Yes, 100%,” the trainer wrote. “But if you’re on your fitness journey, heck, even if you haven’t started your fitness journey, every single person on this earth deserves to love and appreciate their body.

Hear, hear Anna. Thanks for the timely reminder.
