If you’re an avid gym enthusiast who follows dozens of fitness gurus online, you’re probably familiar with Anna Victoria and her Fit Body app. The famous influencer recently shared an emotional post about her fertility journey and how it taught her to appreciate her body even more.

Victoria has been undergoing fertility treatments for seven months now, and admitted they threw her off her fitness routine much more than she expected. Her workouts are less intense than they used to be, and she’s not hitting the gym as often as before – but it’s all worth it.

THEN AND NOW 😊 ❤️ Then: following @fitbodyapp Sculpt workouts which is strength training 5x a week for 45 mins plus tracking my macros to a T. I had about a 90/10 food balance, didn’t feel restricted but was super focused and on track. (Also 1 month before our #TTC journey started) . ❤️ Now: Some weeks I work out 3x a week, some weeks 2x, some weeks 4x. When I do work out, it’s either a Tone or Sculpt workout, but only strength training, no cardio. My workouts are a lower intensity overall since I’m supposed to be keeping my heart rate down. I didn’t lower my macros so I have been working out less and eating the same amount. My eating balance has been about 70/30. . The result? I weigh 10 lbs more today than I did in the “then” photo. (I only know this from doctors appts 😁) The impact on my self-worth? NONE. I love both bodies. 🥰 You’re not always going to be super lean and you’re not always going to be super on track. But sometimes you will! 🙌 Both are deserving of self-love. Your fitness ability and where you are in your journey doesn’t define you. This is an incredibly empowering journey that helps increase your confidence and self-love, and that should be true whether you’re 100% on track or not. . As most of you know, I’ve been going through fertility treatments for 7 months now (with some months in between of “taking a break”) and I never expected something like this to throw me off my routine as much as it has. Things happen unexpectedly (to all of us!) that prevents us from being super focused on our fitness journeys, but that’s not the end of the story. It’s not the end of mine and it’s not the end of yours. This is only one moment in time. . As challenging as it’s been to work out these days, I’m pushing through because it’s how and when I feel my best. It’s when I have the most energy, it’s when I’m the most productive (in other areas of my life) and I know it’s what my body deserves. No matter what my body does or doesn’t look like. My journey may not be perfect, but it doesn’t have to be and neither does yours. I still love my body and I hope you love yours too ☺️❤️ #fbggirls #progressnotperfection #fbgcommunity www.annavictoria.com/fitbodyapp

Anna Victoria revealed she’s gained 10 lbs in the meantime, but she’s not letting the weight define her and her self-esteem is still intact.

“I love both bodies… Both are deserving of self-love. Your fitness ability and where you are in your journey doesn’t define you. This is an incredibly empowering journey that helps increase your confidence and self-love, and that should be true whether you’re 100% on track or not,” wrote the famous influencer in an empowering Instagram post.

“You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else controls you. Breathe and allow things to pass.” . Some people will always have something to say about your journey. Your body. Your food. Some people will even try to discourage you from working out and eating healthy, period. As frustrating as this can be, especially when it’s friends or family, remember that this is YOUR journey. If someone doubts you, prove them wrong. Work hard in silence and one day instead of asking “why” they’ll ask “how” 😉💪 . Today is day 1 of the FREE 30 Day #JumpstartJune challenge!! Who’s joining me?? How was day 1?! ☺️If you haven’t joined yet, there’s still time!!
