I took this snap a few weeks ago to look at the sun damage on my chest. What I actually saw was a towel that for many years wouldn’t go around me. The anger, embarrassment, frustration, and sadness that came with it was all encompassing. I avoided mirrors, photos, and of course photos, memories that I should’ve been present for.
Now, this towel wraps around me!
In fact, the blummin thing keeps dropping off..
This might seem like a small win to many of you but for me, it’s so much more than a towel conveniently covering me after my shower. It represents success!!!
Success, healing, strength, and choosing my future self when sometimes I didn’t really want to. This journey hasn’t been perfect or easy, buuuut I do feel like I’m winning now.
1st Jan and I’m not needing to say ‘I’m gonna make this the year I lose the weight’ I cannoooot tell you how good that feels.
Yeah I’d like 7-10lbs off but that’s soooo much manageable than the five stone I was toying with for many years thanks to Menopause.
Were there were days I wanted to give up? Absobloodylutely.
Were there days where I didn’t make the best choices - Hell yes!!
Did I give up? Never!!
This journey is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Weight maintenance is foreveeeer but with a little guidance, accountability and education around nutrition you CAN win.
…and, just know if you’re struggling in silence, you’re not weak, you’re human. And change is possible, even when it feels far away. I am here, whenever you are ready 🤍
