I’m Sick & Tired of Feeling Sick & Tired!

Hello everyone,

I’m Hannah, I'm 28 years old and I’m going to lose weight and keep it off!! My weight has flucuated since childhood and I've yo-yo’d between being overweight and slender my entire adult life.

Right before the pandemic was the longest I had gone maintaining my weight before. I looked and felt my best, then shut-down happened and I started college in fall of 2019! I'm now the heaviest I've been in ten years (since having my son).

I feel now more than ever that I have to get my health on track. Moving is exhausting. I feel more depressed than ever and I know my bodily health is 90% the cause of it.

Yesterday I started my journey, not to start changing my body, but changing my mind set and my life! I love being active and going on adventures!! I need that back in my life without feeling a literal weight over my shoulders.

I've never talked about this online and I don't know if anyone will read this, but I just feel the call to put this in writing, for me.

Today I logged back into this app and 9 months ago I was -21lbs… I thought to myself “here I go again, sliding my weight back up after losing it every few years.” I don't want to do that again. I've come to the realization I've never really lived a healthy life. Maybe for a brief period of time, but it's never been engrained into my day to day. I want and need this like so many others do, and I know they're on this app and maybe they're reading this.

Anyways, here’s to living happier and healthier lives- for me and whoever might be reading this! 🖤
