💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I unfollowed a 'fitness inspiration' account that always made me feel inadequate about my body. The immediate relief was surprising - I didn't realize how much that daily comparison was affecting my self-image. Now my feed shows accounts that celebrate progress at every level, and I actually feel motivated instead of discouraged.
