✨ Checking in on my self-love journey ✨

I just took a self-love assessment from my workbook and wow — it’s such a beautiful reminder of how far I’ve come and where I still want to grow. 💛

From believing I’m worthy of love, to accepting my body, to knowing I don’t need a relationship to feel whole — these questions really made me pause and reflect. 🌸

My score shows I’m on my way, and that’s okay. Self-love is a journey, not a destination. 🌈

If you’ve been looking for a sign to check in with yourself, this is it. Take a few minutes today to affirm who you are, what you deserve, and how amazing you already are. 🫶🏾

💬 What’s one way you’ve practiced self-love this week?

🙌🏾‼️ Community Question ‼️🙌🏾

Y’all, look what I found 👀 — Protein Mashed Potatoes! 🥔💪
These Idahoan packs come with 6g protein per serving compared to the regular versions that don’t have that boost.

✨ For my bariatric fam: would you choose these over the regular packs?
Do you think the added protein is worth it, or do you stick with your favorites like Baby Reds or Roasted Garlic?

Let’s talk about it ⬇️💬 — how do you feel about these protein mashed potatoes vs the regular ones?

✨ From Then ➡️ To Now ✨
100 pounds lighter, but what I’ve truly gained is priceless. This journey wasn’t just about the physical weight—it was about letting go of doubt, pain, and fear. Every step, every sweat, every tear has shaped me into someone stronger, more grounded, and more grateful than ever.

This transition has been healing on every level—body, mind, and spirit. I’ve learned discipline, self-love, and resilience. 🙌🏾 And most of all, I’m thankful for the grace that carried me through when I wanted to give up.

Here’s to growth, healing, and never looking back. 💪🏾💖🌱

✨ The Other Woman: Bariatric Edition 💃🏽💪🏽🌸

She’s not a stranger… she’s ME. The woman I fought so hard to become. The one who chooses health over old habits, peace over stress, and discipline over doubt. This journey isn’t easy, but every pound lost, every mindset shift, and every small win is proof that the “other woman” I used to dream of is finally here — and she’s not going anywhere. 💕

🌸✨ Good Vibes Only ✨🌸

One thing this journey has taught me is that mindset matters just as much as meals. The way you think about yourself, your health, and your future sets the tone for everything.

I’m not just working on weight loss, I’m working on peace, confidence, and joy 💕. This smile isn’t just for the camera — it’s because I’m finally choosing myself every single day.

To anyone on this path: keep going. The glow is coming, and so is the version of you that you’ve been fighting for. 💪🏽

✨ Choosing Health Over Convenience ✨

One of the biggest wins on this journey is learning to skip the fast-food line and keep it simple at home. 💪🏽 Today I grabbed this premade meal option from Food Lion for under $6—quick, affordable, and bariatric-friendly.

Cooking doesn’t always mean spending hours in the kitchen. Sometimes it’s about making the better choice and having simple go-to meals ready when life gets busy. 🥗🍴

Remember: your goals are worth the extra 5 minutes it takes to heat up something nourishing at home. 🌱

I MADE IT TO THE 250 CLUB 👏🏾

She’s not worried about the noise — because it’s always been her vs. her. 💪🏾✨ From nearly 380 to 250 pounds, this journey was about healing, discipline, and reclaiming my power.

To anyone out there struggling — this is your sign: Keep showing up for YOU. 🧠💖

Learning to Pause: My New Normal After Bariatric Surgery 😌

This is your gentle reminder: post-bariatric life requires food patience. 🙏🏾
⠀
Two bites into this egg and meat sandwich and whew—I’m already feeling that fullness in my chest. 😮‍💨 It’s a clear sign I wasn’t giving my body time to process each bite.
⠀
After bariatric surgery, eating slowly isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a necessity. Chew well. Pause. Breathe. Listen to your body.
⠀
Being kind to your body means honoring its new limits, even on the go. 🥪💛
