Same shirt.
Same woman.
Very different chapter.
The girl on the left was showing up, but she was tired in ways no one could see. She smiled, she participated, she kept going — even while carrying grief, doubt, exhaustion, and a quiet fear that maybe this was just “how it was going to be.”
The woman on the right is still showing up — but now she’s choosing herself on purpose.
Not chasing a number.
Not chasing perfection.
Not shrinking herself to make anyone else comfortable.
This didn’t come from motivation.
It came from discipline on the days motivation was nowhere to be found.
It came from workouts done while grieving.
From choosing movement over silence.
From choosing progress over excuses — even when progress was slow.
There were setbacks. Plateaus. Weeks where the scale didn’t move but life felt heavy. And still… I kept going. Because this journey was never just about weight. It was about strength. Confidence. Healing. And proving to myself that I don’t quit on me anymore.
If you’re in the “before” season — keep showing up.
If you’re in the messy middle — keep showing up.
And if you’re finally starting to recognize yourself again — be proud of that woman!!
This is what consistency looks like.
This is what choosing yourself looks like.
And I’m just getting started. ✨💪🏼

I took an after picture after my workout, and when I looked at it, the first thing I noticed was how sad my face looked.

The truth is, I'm struggling. It's getting to the point where looking in the mirror is hard because I don't want to see how much weight I've gained. Makes me question whether or not going to the gym is still worth it. And as much as I try to stay positive, some days it's harder than others. My husband always says he can tell what kinda day I had at the gym by my face in the post workout picts.

I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday to talk about possibly getting on a GLP-1. I'm not sure if that's the answer for me, but I know it's a tool that a lot of people use to help them along their journey, and I'm open to exploring my options.

My goal has NEVER been to be skinny. I love my curves. I want to feel strong, confident, and comfortable in my body again. I want to lose 30–40 pounds and, more importantly, be able to KEEP it off.

I want to be honest about where I am right now. The whole point of this page has always been transparency! I never want to give anyone the impression that everything is perfect or that I'm always happy with what I see. That's not real life

I can love myself at this size and still want to make a change. I can be proud of how far I've come and still struggle with where I am today.

This is me being honest about a part of my journey that isn't easy to talk about. I'm still showing up, still trying, and still figuring it out. One day at a time. by @gettingbacktofeelinglikesam
