Why I'm Starting Again

 

I'm 43 years old. I'm a wife, mama of four, artist, instructor, witch, genealogist, contractor assistant and someone who is so very tired. My youngest has severe disabilities, whom I am constantly advocating for and my life is just a little intense for the most part. 

7 years ago, I lost a large amount of weight. I felt powerful, confident, and excited about life. Since then, I gained it back. I went from losing 70ish pounds to regaining it and more.

I've started over more times than I can count.

I've tried Ozempic, got off it, tried it again and left it for good. Regained again the pounds I had lost on it (30!)

This blog isn't about pretending I'm motivated every day. It's about showing what actually happens when a real person tries to lose weight while juggling family, stress, finances, marriage struggles, work, exhaustion, and everyday life.

Today I weigh 195.4 pounds. I restarted this journey at 200 pounds this year. The most I have weighed is 204 pounds, which was last year. 

My goal is 130 pounds.

But more than that, I want my energy back. I want to feel strong again. I want to trust myself again.

There will be good days. There will be bad days. There will probably be days when I eat chips and wonder why I'm doing this at all.

This blog is where I'll tell the truth about all of it.

Not the polished version.

The real version.

So welcome
