former athlete, now feeling lost
hiiii ladies
i’m about to turn 21 and im trying to improve my appearance, confidence, and overall health, but I’m feeling a little lost on where to start :(
i used to be VERY active and athletic until i suffered a double knee dislocation. after months of treatment, i was diagnosed with hypermobility, and my doctors advised me to avoid the gym and high-impact exercise because of the risk of further injuries
since then, i’ve gained a significant amount of weight & honestly, i feel like i’ve lost a part of myself. i miss feeling strong, healthy, and comfortable in my own body
id love to hear from women who have gone through something similar, or anyone who has advice on healthy weight loss, beauty habits or general glow up tips that don’t rely heavily on intense exercise
what changes made the biggest difference for u? whether it’s skincare, haircare, nutrition, posture, style, low impact fitness, mindset shifts, or anything else, id really appreciate your suggestions
