Learning to love myself again
Something I didn’t share before, but I had gained weight due to bad habits inactivity, and from chronic spinal pain and medication I didn’t like myself with all the extra weight and made the pain worse. I started going to my medical clinic weight loss program right after my neck surgery in 2022 it’s taken two years of hard work of eating better (pain still restricts exercise) but I’m finally liking me. I’ve lost a total 84 pounds in that time with only 15 more to go!
Now to fix the PTSD so I can have the me effortlessly that he took away that I fight for every day, so I write books with girls who can overcome anything thrown at them in the course of a dark romance book. Read it don’t live it! Writer has to heal somehow outside of therapy. So I have a tough girl, Tatiana, who can take on Keegan. She’s a bit of what I’ve always wanted to be. He’s a little of what I always wanted, but what I always need to heal from and what I mean by wanted…he’s a gorgeous and bad boy who wants you desperately nothing more than that. #weightlossprogress #domesticabusesurvivor #indieauthor #darkromance #keegansobsession #tatianasheart #obsessedheartduet
Loving yourself again involves more than just physical transformation; it's about emotional healing too. Many people struggle with body image and mental health issues like PTSD, particularly after undergoing significant life changes like surgery. Finding supportive communities and professional help can make a profound difference. It’s important to embrace your journey, acknowledging the ups and downs along the way. Writing can be a therapeutic outlet, especially for individuals dealing with trauma. In the world of dark romance, characters often reflect our deepest struggles and aspirations. Writing empowers you to take control of your story and inspire others. Exploring themes of resilience and personal growth in literature can motivate readers to confront their challenges. Remember, progress takes time, and self-care is crucial. Surround yourself with narratives that uplift and inspire, and practice self-compassion as you navigate your path to healing. If you struggle with similar issues, consider seeking help through therapy, support groups, or engaging in creative expressions like writing. These can be effective means to foster healing and rediscovery.
