  • Late November 2021

    Since my exciting news in my last post 3 months ago, I have gained back half of what I lost. I try to look on the bright side that I’m still down and clothes fit better or are too big. The truth is I really enjoy food. I admit that…

  • Late July 2021

    It feels unreal, but I weigh less than my driver’s license says! Really battling the mental side of all this. I’ve lost almost 40 pounds in 6 weeks! While I’m super excited and impressed on one hand, the other hand is the emotional self-identity that doesn’t believe anything has changed.…

  • Mid-April 2019

    Apologies for the radio silence the past couple months. A lot going on as usual! My doctor reduced my antidepressant back in late Jan or early Feb. Feb was a good month, I actually started having feelings I didn’t realize I hadn’t in a while and started caring about some…

  • Mid-February 2019

    It’s Valentine’s Day. I know I’ve gotten a little introspective in past years Wait, who am I kidding? I’m introspective all the time! It really can get kind of dark in my mind sometimes. Over-thinking, introspective, introvert, and not sure how to express feelings. But at the same time, if…
