Grief and weight loss
Today is weigh in day and I am scared to step on the scale. This has been one of the hardest weeks of my life. I got a call that my cousin I was raised with took her own life at the start of the week. I’ve been in utter shock and disbelief for days. Like a lot of people in these dark times, I have turned to food for…

What weighs ___ lbs?
This is so random but it’s kind of a fun way to visualize how much weight you’ve lost- Google ‘what weighs ____lbs?’ Inserting the exact amount you’ve lost.

Food Guilt
As someone who is extremely overweight and trying to make healthy changes, one thing I am struggling with is food guilt. I don’t overindulge, I actually have been under my calorie goals most days.

I did my weekly weigh in and I am officially under 300lbs! I know I still have a long road ahead of me but this is a massive milestone for me! Ahhh I literally teared up on the scale seeing the number not start with a 3 🥲 never again will I do that to my body.

Lip Syncing During Cardio
Thought I’d share something that has really been helping me during cardio- lip syncing to my favorite songs! I probably look like a total weirdo in the gym (thankfully there’s only ever like 2 other people there) but I truly think it helps. It seems to help me control my breathing better and not get winded quickly. It also…

Weight loss without GLP-1
Sometimes it feels like the only way everyone is losing weight is to go on a GLP-1 or do some surgery. But I don’t want to inject myself with medication every week or be cut open. I am trying super hard to eat healthy and exercise. Down 14 pounds in one month, but it hasn’t been easy. If you have lost weight naturally,…
