Женщина всего за год превратилась в звезду фитнеса, хоть и не похудела

Сара Сапора из Соединенных Штатов Америки долгое время страдала от ожирения. Но вся жизнь молодой женщины поменялась, когда год тому назад ее родители попали в больницу друг за другом.
В этот тяжелый для семьи период жизни Сапора перебралась в Нью-Йорк. При этом она лишилась начинающей улучшаться карьеры, начала работать по 17 часов в маркетинге, лишь бы прокормить себя и семью. При этом ей нужно было навещать родителей, всячески помогать им.

In 2016, this is how I NEEDED you to see me… and in 2020, this is how I share myself with you. Can you see the difference? I remember the day of this photoshoot. It was warm out and I had a full hair and makeup artist there, and fake eyelashes and long, full clip-on hair extensions. I showed the makeup artist a picture of Carrie Underwood and said, "I want to look like that." I tied a black velvet ribbon around my neck, fluffed my hair and felt SO proud; I thought this shoot was the best I'd ever looked in a photo. Later that day, I made a collage, just like this one, of me next to Carrie, and sent it to a bunch of guys with a text that read, "Life goals complete. Have officially become Fat Carrie Underwood." I wanted each of them to tell me I was beautiful. Mostly, they just laughed right alongside me, as I laughed at myself because I could not express how badly I wanted to be taken seriously. If I had to express the greatest part of the transform I've experienced in the last few years, this photo would be a perfect visual. On the left I see a woman who had not yet found her own voice. "How is that possible, that at 37 she was still so lost?" Dont know. Doesn't even matter. What matters is that I HAVE found myself and, finally, on the other side of 40, I am finding myself more and more every day. If you use armor to protect yourself, that's OK. I'm here to tell you that you can let it crumble and be perfectly safe. In fact, you may even be the better for it. I know I have been… When I think about what I am meant to do with me life, I can only think about it this way — I want to make it accessible and comfortable for you to come to the table of your own self-healing. Finding your greater life does not require the key of youth or beauty or size. Finding your greater life just requires that you be willing to be honest and embrace true discomfort. Listen to me. You are worthy of healing. You are deserving of connecting to an authentically powerful you. Do I want you to like me? Sure. The more people who like me the easier it is for me to do the work I want to do. Do I NEED you to like me? Nope. Get vulnerable. Strip it down. Find YOU. 💗

Сама Сара вспоминает о тех временах: “Было сложно даже дойти до больницы, в которой лежала моя мама. Совсем не было сил, суставы ломило от боли, страдала спина. Я не обращала на эти ощущения внимания, потому что быстро начала привыкать.”

Sharing this for no real reason than I came across it for the first time today in months. The picture series that seems to have changed it all… Picture taken April, 2017. Almost four years ago to the day. Hard to even comprehend how much has changed in my life since. 💗💗

Однако ухудшение физического состояния подтолкнуло Сару Сапора к мысли о том, что нужно заняться своим питанием и здоровьем. С 2016 года она стала заниматься спортом, придерживаться здорового образа жизни и есть только полезную для разных систем организма пищу.

You are allowed to be many things. You can be spiritual. Sexy. Independent. Vulnerable. Quit. Uproarious. Everything. People will put you in a box. YOU will put YOURSELF in a box. Remember, nobody puts Baby in a corner. If you wanna feel sexy and be sexy and wear something sexy… do it. If you don't? Don't. If you want to share it with the world? Share it. If you don't… don't. If I wore this dress in a perfectly poised photo, y'all would know I was putting on a front because that's not me. So I'll show you what it was like in real life. Imperfect. Laughing. Crappy lighting in the middle of the street with a good friend behind the camera phone and hamburgers for both of us in the car that we snagged on the way home from a night out. More time DOING life. Less time CAPTURING life perfectly for others on social media to see. New motto. ❤ (Since you may ask, dress is from @rebdolls )

*Read full caption please* This is from August, 2017. I absolutely love and honor the shit out of Sarah in this chapter of her journey. She was fierce as hell and using the tools she had to create her greater life the ONLY way she knew. And she was a beautiful beast. I honor her level of physical fitness and am confident I am on the path to returning there. I also want you to know things she she did NOT know. She did not know she… ▫️ Struggled with self-worth. ▫️Carried a tremendous amount of anger towards her father, which impacted every single personal relationship she ever had. ▫️Was currently in love with someone who was a reflection of her core wound. ▫️ Felt like she had to outwardly PROVE to everyone in her life that she dersved to be seen and heard. ALL OF THESE THINGS TOGETHER made me a person who believed her every value was tied into other people and not something for her to own and claim. Does that sound "healthy" to you? Why is this important? When we think about WELLNESS we tend to think about one thing — being thin. And when we think about "going on a diet" which is what it takes to "be thin" (right?🤦‍♀️) we subconsciously think that ALL THE THINGS I LISTED ABOVE will be fixed because our value and happiness is directly tied to the number on the scale. I 100% love physical fitness and I believe in it. I support conscious weight loss. But I want to challenge you to think about what "wellness" means to YOU and what it is you are REALLY looking for in your life? Healing is NOT in the scale but the soul. ❤❤ ORIGINAL This is the face of "leaving it on the floor" till there is nothing left. At the end of a workout, the last two of five sets of battle ropes. Pay attention to the placement of my arms; when I'm tired my arms flop more to the side instead of staying centered. The full video is being uploaded to my video and should be ready shortly. Show up. Try. Dont be scared to get ugly and sweaty and gross. If your breath runs away from you, you'll catch it eventually. Grateful to have a trainer like @blakelosangeles who safely pushes me through moments like this. Also… he's TOTALLY kidding about the throw up comment. Promise. LOL!!

Однако создание имиджа спортивного блогера никогда не было самоцелью в работе Сары Сапора. Она заявляет, что хочет, чтобы искренность ее тела помогала другим женщинам смотреть на себя без комплексов и веселиться даже от забавных жизненных мелочей.
