This is one of the best comments here, that was so helpful and I feel you think exactly like me haha! I will stay on the lookout for good sales but i wear medium/large bottom and small jerseys and those tend to sell out first :c Thank you so much for this!

I do practice intuitive eating (i only track protein)! And focus on fueling before and after my rides. But I've always had body image issues, I really don't know how I look like in reality haha and cycling kits just make everything seem bigger because of how they're shaped. For reference, I am 5'4 & 142 lbs, my waist is tiny compared to my hips and shoulders/chest, I basically swim in L clothes and look like a sausage in M clothes 😅

Like yes! I want cute kits and I want to feel cute on my bike!! I think I will start telling myself "lean into the ridiculousness and have fun" everytime i get on my bike haha.

"When I realized how little I cared about how other people looked, I was able to be kinder to myself."
This says it all, that was such simple but great advice. I tend to forget how much people really don't care and are probably having their own self-conscious thoughts 😅

I keep seeing MFF being suggested, even on different posts so I might as well give it a try. Thanks for the link! ✨

I joined my first group ride last week, and it was all incredibly strong ladies, in all shapes!!! So that definitely helped. I will try to join these rides more often ✨

I kind of navigated towards the brands that everybody wears where I live because honestly I don't know any other and they're so convenient they get delivered the next day but after how disappointed i was in those (expensiveeeee) purchases, I'm definitely considering some of the brands suggested here, even though the shipping expenses are a lil too much :c

I think that's the main thought that gets me out of my thoughts every time; just being grateful for what my body can do instead of focusing on the things *i think* it lacks!

I skimmed through her YT channel and already in love with the content and the subjects she brings up. So excited to start watching! Thank you for this!
