Survivor diary: 5 years ago I was “super fit” but had no idea I was “super sick”.

Jeez! What a title! I really am a firm believer that just because you look or appear healthy it doesn’t mean you are. I am living proof. When I was 39 I was working out 4-5 times a week and looked very fit. I thought I was eating clean and had a great diet watching closely to what I ate. I didn’t watch close enough and I didn’t understand how much emotional stress I was also putting on my body by just harboring so many emotions from years prior. I am a former martial arts instructor and also taught cardio classes. Fitness was a big deal and I just couldn’t believe it when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have since gone through treatment and recovery not only consists of changing my diet. It also included strengthening my mental health by learning how to not be so stressed out. I can tell you that a great thing I learned from the journey of once having cancer is that it does humble you. I am grateful for the perspective that I now have on life.
Eat well, live well, take good care of your body and mind,
Freska
