Before my car accident, I was talking a lot about my weight loss journey with the help of , on IG, but then - my entire life turned itself upside down in a blink.
It’s been a minute so I thought I’d give a small update on how that’s been.
In the pic on the left, I am days away from giving birth to my little Jack, and at my heaviest weight ever. The pic on the right was taken this morning, and I’m almost 100 lbs lighter than my delivery weight in 2023. In my mind, it doesn’t quite count as a true 100 lb weight loss because you drop so much weight in the hospital (versus fat loss etc), but even if the weight was a baby/placenta/blood volume etc, my body still carried that extra weight and it was heavy, and challenging.
Full transparency: I have been at the “almost 100 lbs lighter” stage for a couple months. I haven’t been able to push past that “almost there” point because my life stage has made it very hard to focus on that goal. However, thanks to , I haven’t GAINED weight.
When I’m grieving, food is repulsive and I have no appetite. Because I knew I had to care for myself to be able to care for Jack, I choked down all my meals and water while we spent 7 weeks in the hospital and I mourned what we were going through.
Now that we are home, I’m more stressed than I am grieving, and I am a textbook-stress eater. Thankfully, with ReMedical’s help, I have been able to keep the portions in control, and not overdo things, and at minimum, have been able to maintain my weight and I am so, so grateful. With all the things on my mental plate, losing these pounds AGAIN isn’t something I want to deal with. Also, once Jack is healed, I want so badly to have improved my health so that I can be more playful, more engaged, and just overall stronger for Jack (and of course, Henry too).
As I continue to pray for Jack, a new goal (“Strong for Jack”), whispers in my ear and I feel committed to becoming more hopeful and strong for him, and I couldn’t do it without ReMedical. 🫶
Ps. Ideally, for my height and age, I still have about 50 lbs I would like to lose.
