I am a mom, I am a sister, I am a friend, an aunt. I have spent the past two years completely neglecting myself while in the last half of a toxic relationship. I have been deeply depressed. I allowed myself to gain over 70 pounds in under 2 years. How dissapointing! Especially coming from the woman who lost 60 pounds about 7 years ago. I gained all that back and then some. I'm tired of being depressed, stressed, sad, you name it. I'm single now, living with my best friend of 20 years and am determined to define myself this year. I miss my pretty face. Some days I can see it in there, its just covered in fat right now. I miss the big beautiful smile I once had. I've decided it's time to find those things I miss! Reclaim myself! I remember after losing 60 pounds how good it felt to be able to hike in the woods, and not be out of breath. How amazing and confident I felt in a bathing suit! I've decided, I'm ready to feel all that again! I'm tired of hiding behind my weight! Thats all it is, a giant cloak, to hide my insecurities, my feelings.......well, I'm gonna take that cloak off at rate of about 2 pounds a week and I can't wait to reach every mini-milestone along the way! I'm looking for some friends on here so feel free to message me or request me if you wanna join this adventure with me!!!
