Learning to sit with your feelings is hard. It takes intention and practice. Every single day. Mental health is the hardest part of the weight loss journey. Never give up on yourself.

The girl on the left: Weighed 344 pounds, had three back surgeries and needed many more, had severe chronic back pain, used a cane and a walker, and barely existed in a body that couldn’t support her.

The girl on the right: Got a second chance at life at 37. My bariatric journey has been a rocky road physically, medically, and mentally. I’ve felt so lost these last few years and lost so much of my confidence in trying to make changes to keep myself on the right path forward. This year, I feel like I’ve finally found a great bariatric community and it’s inspired me to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. Hopefully, sharing my story will make sure someone else doesn’t have to struggle alone. 🖤

Destroy the version of yourself that no longer exists. Rebuild yourself. Create a life you value and love. Never go back.

The hardest part isn’t losing the 200 pounds…it’s losing the person you were when you weighed 344 pounds. It’s figuring out who you are now, who you’ve become along the way, with each pound lost.

Whatever you’re not changing, you’re choosing. It’s never too late.

I'm a master of messy comebacks. I'll look back on the time invested, the love that wasn't returned, the dreams that didn't materialize. Yet, I'm still learning, still growing, still showing up.

The version of me that couldn’t get out of bed. That couldn’t walk without a mobility aid. That couldn’t go grocery shopping alone. That couldn’t care for herself fully. We’re never going back. 💪🖤🏋️‍♀️

Kicking off 2026 with a trail run to remember! 9 weeks of progressive overload and 3 lower body split days paid off - my 5k time improved massively since Thanksgiving. Elevation gain was a breeze and I felt like I could've kept going. Running in the dirt is my happy place. The journey from walking with a cane to running 5 miles has been life-changing, and I'm so thankful for the leap of faith I took with bariatric surgery.

My initial goal was to qualify for medically covered skin removal surgery, but I don’t. So, I’ve been trying to at least maintain my weight through progressive overload in order to help grow my atrophied lower body muscles, but bariatric nutrition is so different than regular nutrition. Trying to add in carbs and then even more carbs than you originally calculated, upping protein and fiber, you feel like a mad scientist. Body builders, trainers, and sports nutritionists really do have their work cut out for them.

Just finished week 8 of my progressive overload transformation program with @aliciae Who knew there were abs under all this loose skin?!

Unfortunately, I did lose another 3 pounds even though I was trying to stay in maintenance/gain. But hoping those came off the lower body and not the upper 🤦‍♀️🤣.
