A Post I Never Thought I’d share…🫶

I took a picture almost 2 months ago to remind myself where I was at… I had lost 2 lbs and that was better than the fluctuation between gaining 5 pounds and losing 1 pound.

Nearly 2 months later I’m done a pants size and 10 lbs… 10 very stable pounds down.

I never thought I’d be posting anything about me or my image considering for almost 2 decades I’ve been criticized by my hubby’s mom’s side. They are out of our life due to toxic things that happened between August 5, 2023 and January 2, 2024. Now that they are blocked and out of our lives for good reason… my stress level is waaaaay lower and I can concentrate on fixing my confidence, my mental house, my physical appearance…

I want my daughter to see and know that her mom is a beautiful confident queen. She always calls me “Queen Mommy” and I want to live up to that.

If you are a mom, a woman, a man, or just a person who has lost themselves… let me be first or last person to tell you… “Babe… you got this! You are confident! You are beautiful! And I believe in you!” I don’t need to know you to say this because it’s something I wish a stranger had said to me. 🫶

Many individuals struggle with confidence and self-image, often exacerbated by external pressures and negative experiences. Embracing a healthy lifestyle is not just about appearance but also about mental well-being. Research shows that positive affirmations can significantly impact self-esteem. If you’re on your journey to reclaiming your confidence, remember that consistency and self-love are key. Balancing mental and physical health should be a priority. Consider activities like yoga or meditation that promote mental clarity while also engaging in physical activity. Moreover, surrounding yourself with supportive individuals can make a huge difference. Remember, you are not alone in your journey and many have successfully transformed their lives. It's never too late to start making changes for your well-being!

The image displays a Bible verse, 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV, which states, "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." Below it, an "Inspiration" section explains that we should give thanks in all circumstances, good or bad, as it is God's will.
