I started tracking using myfitnesspal and took one day at a time. I slowly started to incorporate exercise and focused on my mental health. Something clicked and I realized…

Hard to Swallow
Like a lot of things that are sometimes really hard to swallow in life, I find brutal honesty with myself to be the hardest. I know that I have all the knowledge I need and the means in which to do something, but I kept fighting with myself about whether or not I could even do it. One hard day at work, I’d turn around and…

I used to joke with my ex about if I ever get to 300 he should just shoot me. Looking back, that’s the worst coping humor I’ve ever used.…
