Busy Bee Weekend
This Weekend Was… A Lot. Thursday started with a follow-up Doctor’s appointment for my Zepbound prescription.

Breaking the Cycle
I have two disclaimers to this post: I’ve been reflecting a lot on how I see my body, especially since becoming a mom. One of my biggest goals is to stop the cycle of self-criticism—both for myself and for my daughter. I refuse to let her grow up feeling the way I did. I don’t Continue reading

My Journey Thus Far
A path towards a healthier Me After battling postpartum obesity for over two years and trying different diets, I was ready to give up. I had resigned myself to a body I hated. I forced a smile on my face when looking at photographs of myself so that I wouldn’t pass on my struggles with Continue reading
