People are not gonna like it. People are gonna be jealous and judge you… because they can't do what you are doing. But the reality is, as soon as you decide to make healthy changes for yourself, you're gonna get hate for it.""You've gotta be you. You can't be me. You can't be someone else. Don't compare yourself. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing. Worry about what you were doing and who you are."Links Mentioned:Christina's Instagram: @knifinaPodcast Instagram: @beyondthebody.podcastCoaching Application: https://form.jotform.com/cutandconquerfitness/coaching-applicationFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weightsandwellness/ Hosted on Acast.
