... Read moreStarting my journey to overcome binge eating and postpartum body challenges has been life-changing. In just 50 days, I noticed remarkable progress not only in my physical appearance but also in my mental resilience. What helped me the most was embracing realistic fitness goals, focusing on healing my diastasis recti—a condition where abdominal muscles separate after pregnancy—and gently strengthening my core. I integrated low-impact exercises specifically targeting the apron belly area, and gradually I felt stronger and more connected to my body. Avoiding harsh diets and instead adopting mindful eating habits played a crucial role in managing my binge eating tendencies. I also joined supportive communities online, such as #gymtok and postpartum forums, which provided motivation and a sense of belonging. One key factor was patience; the old me would never have believed how far I'd come in such a short time. I learned to celebrate small victories daily, which kept me motivated even when progress seemed slow. If you’re facing similar postpartum struggles—whether it’s dealing with binge eating, diastasis recti, or body changes—know that recovery is possible with consistent effort, self-compassion, and the right support system.

Ahhh I could cry - wish I could go, it's one of my favorite albums of all time! I at least got to watch half of it on TikTok live last night! I don't think she performed "True Story" though which is my favorite...if she did I missed it! Hope she did or does as an encore. #ariana

If your thinking of joining the army ✨🪖
Just do it!!! That’s the best advice I can give to anyone “thinking” about joining If you think too much about it you’ll scare yourself. The Army is the best thing that’s ever happened to me since coming out of training I feel I have grown physically/ mentally/ and emotionally Yes it’s hard, h

Also I am soooo grateful for everything
Also the reason I may have duplicates is because I have been gifted a lot of these, and also I always save some for everyone. I have also been collecting these for a very long time, like before they even became popular ( also yes I did use my jewelry stand for NeeDohs 🤣) #creations
