New Journey

Hello! I am Jessica, mom of two, wife, music lover, nap lover, and a mental health warrior. My mental health has caused unhealthy emotional attachments to foods/sugary drinks. I fall off the wagon a lot due to my inability to fully commit and finish a program. Previously I did another program, lost 25 pounds, fell off the wagon and gained 15 pounds back. I am just trying to work through the mental issues to be able to learn how to successfully commit to a healthier version of me.

    Welcome. Remember to demand progress, not perfection from yourself. I have a bad habit of demanding perfection, and when I perceive that I have failed, giving up. I'm hoping this time is different.

    Thank you for being vulnerable. I relate a lot to needing the mental health healing to work on self as whole.
