Listen while I tell you some of my truths about WLS

A lot of us when obese are intimidated by young fit people or fit people in general and that keeps us out of the gym. I want to change that.

I don’t care what anyone thinks and that’s a big part of succeeding at anything. I needed a challenge so I made it a goal and now I’m crushing it! One week without meat! 3 weeks to go!

Fear holds us back from so many things. Including weight loss. Yea I said it. Not fear of being “too skinny” but fear of the devastating regain. Listen as I tell you what I mean.

I need a good challenge. That’s the kind of mood I’m in this weekend. This is going to beyond difficult because I am such a carnivore. I am going to try to get through the rest of February with little to no meat.

Denial is the wall in between where we are and where we want to be. Today I’m calling out some of my own BS.

If you follow weight loss journeys on Instagram and Facebook it’s easy to believe some people make it look so easy while you are struggling. We all struggle. Regardless of what people choose to post, there is always going to be struggle. The key is learning to move past the struggle and to keep going.

I feel a calling to help support others who are struggling with obesity. I believe we all have gifts and purpose but it can be very scary to pursue them. It’s easier to stay comfortable.

I suffered from anxiety since childhood and also struggled with my weight since childhood. It was until turning 40 did I learn and understand how they linked together for me.

People always ask how I stay motivated. I don’t. Motivation doesn’t last forever. I’m just committed and I understand and accept the bad days without giving up.
