What inspires you to keep going when it's a slow, frustrating process and you just want to throw your hands up?
Me: I gained 50 lbs from 2 back to back tough pregnancies, then some serious postpartum depression. It took years, but I'm in a healthy emotional state now and I want my body to match!
What really lit the fire under me was losing my favorite uncle very suddenly to a hear attack after he battled type 2 diabetes for years. My mom was just put on insulin for her type 2. Seeing the toll disease has taken on my loved ones in photos of the past 2 decades scares the crud out of me. My family is vibrant and creative, and I don't want that light to dim too soon.
So that got real.
Be real with me. What helps you stay the course? Also, if you're in it and motivated, add me. I need some positivity and active posters in my feed!
