While I was a modeling I realized something was missing in my life. I was tired all the time constantly stressed, and had migraines that kept me from being productive. I was missing emotional health. I was doing everything "right" according to what I was reading. I was getting enough protein, eating healthy fats like avocados and olive oil. I tried to eat at least 2000 calories a day, and I took supplements like b12, d, and iron. I was doing everything I thought I could but I still felt like something was missing. I made home cooked meals. I began to meditate. I stood up for myself in toxic work environments and I listened to myself in situations. I stopped doing things that I hated, like participating in fashion week, going to the gym, and I started doing things that I love! I began to do pilates, rather than only going to the gym,  and enrolled in school. Over time, I began to feel healthy again. This is when it became apparent to me that health is much bigger than what's on your plate, or how many pounds you can lift. I realize that nutrition and exercise are important, but health is about taking care of all of you, including your mental and emotional health.
