I didn’t think I’d make it..

When I started my weight-loss journey I saw my goal so darn far that I thought it would be impossible to make it. If I have one piece of advice is stop looking at the goal as a whole. If you’re starting and just focusing on losing a big number then it’s easy to get discouraged. I focused on smaller increments until one day I looked back and realized I had lost almost 90 pounds. It’s insane.

I’m at my Highschool weight. Which is insane to me. I’ve falling in love with moving my body every day. I cook delicious meals and don’t miss out on things I love.

Get your health together friends! I promise it’s worth it!

Embarking on a weight loss journey can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down into smaller, manageable steps is the key to success. By focusing on small, achievable goals, you can maintain motivation and prevent discouragement. It's essential to celebrate every milestone, no matter how small, as each contributes to your overall transformation. Incorporating daily physical activity into your routine is crucial—find activities you love to make exercise enjoyable. Cooking healthy, delicious meals not only supports weight loss but also allows you to appreciate the food you eat without compromising on flavor. Explore various food options that are both nutritious and satisfying. Engaging with support communities can provide motivation and valuable tips. Utilize platforms like social media or local meet-ups to share experiences and connect with others on similar journeys. Sharing your story can inspire others and reinforce your commitment to health and wellness. Ultimately, remember that every individual's journey is unique. Be patient with yourself, and recognize that progress takes time. Embrace the process of becoming the healthiest version of yourself, and enjoy the newfound energy and confidence that come with reaching your goals!

Here are three things I didn’t expect from getting a c-section. I actually didn’t think I would need a c-section at all, however I stayed at only 4.5 cm dilated over 30 hours of labor so it resulted in one. I didn’t have much time to prepare or research so there were a few things I really didn’

An image with the title 'The Tandem read was NOT WORTH IT' features the book covers for 'Empire of Storms' and 'Tower of Dawn' by Sarah J. Maas. A central text box advises reading them separately due to their length, different pacing, and numerous characters, to avoid 'whiplash'.

I didn’t like the tandem read (No Spoilers)

Now obviously this is just my opinion but I wish I didn’t enjoy the tandem read. I think t it would be more enjoyable if I was read reading the book but I’m too dyslexic/ADHD for that and these books are thick. Why I didn’t like the tandem read: 🏃‍♀️the pacing of the two books were just too

Things I didn’t think I’d miss from growing up

First of all I’m a 2000s baby. Let’s just throw that out there for time period purposes. Probably around my middle school years there were these little workbooks (that’s what I call them) that were super popular. It was a book filled with different questions and games to do with your friends. I abs
