Shannon Collins, fitness influencer known online as The Gym Nurse, shocked internet users after posting a photo of how she looked 10 years ago.
She explained that at the time, she didn’t pay attention to her diet, didn’t exercise, and frequently drank alcohol. In 2018, she decided to change her life, got “very slim,” but set a goal to build muscle and live healthily.
“Changes take time. A lot of time. One thing that never wavered over the years was lifting weights. It was the most important thing that changed my body,” she started in a post to her more than 150,000 followers.
“Your diet determines what happens to body fat. For me, it was very short periods in a deficit, but most of the time, I was in maintenance to continue preserving/building muscle.”
“This is a lifestyle change, not a New Year’s resolution. It never ends. There’s always room to grow and evolve. I wouldn’t be where I am now without making mistakes and continuing to learn from them,” Shannon concluded.
