Introducing myself........HEy EveryONe!!

Hello, My fellow MFP participants. I'm Christina. This is my second time using this platform for personable accountability of what goes into my body. In 2020, my marriage ended horribly, as did so many others out there. It left me with a LOT of anxiety. More than I realized I was experiencing. At the beginning of this year, something started stirring within me. I felt like I was awakening from a VERY LONG slumber......hence all the weight....I was doing my own form of hibernation. I've read about weighted blankets being a good tool for lessening anxiety and promoting restful sleep. What I did not know is that when I started using one, the pounds I had put on between 10/2020 and 04/2023, would start to just melt away.
In April, I weighed in around 230. The heaviest I've been outside of being pregnant. Sunday, I was weighed at the ER and I was sitting at 210! That increased my anxiety around my visit. It was after this visit where I was told I was okay, that I decided to put my hands back on the steering wheel of my life. I'm now hoping between healthier eating, my weighted blanket and a slow increase of body movement that I will be able to hit my goal of 150 pounds.
In that past, seeing that large of number that I'm trying to get off my body, it would have stopped me in my tracks. I would have felt defeated before I even started. Not today! I'm taking this as a sign that this is my time to get back to it and not give up on myself.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please feel free to add me as a friend.
