Let the weight drop begin. I feel like being a professional fighter and having to constantly know my weight has given me some anxiety about what number I see on the scale and some major self confidence issues because I know how small I have been and how I look at those lower weights. I want to spread a message of body positivity and body love. I struggle with confidence way more then I think people would expect. It causes some serious depression in my life. My weight fluctuates 20+ pounds. I know that I need to love myself no matter what part of my fight camp I am in. Cutting season or time off I am beautiful and need to not worry so much about how I look. The scale is just a number and yes it is part of my job but does not get to dictate my happiness. Love the skin you are in!!
