I knew I had gained weight but I was not expecting a 23 pound weight gain. I knew my clothes were starting to feel a little tighter but 23 pounds? I can list all the excuses that are running through my head.

• I am working long stressful hours at work.
• It is summer and to hot to get out and walk.
• I don't have time to go to the gym.
• I am fighting symptoms of menopause.
• I am having lots of pain in my body.

But these are not just excuses though they are my truth along with a complete loss of motivation. 

Living my best life!

I have lived in this body for 56 years. I have struggled to love it, to nourish it, to accept it for the majority of that time. 

I missed events, vacations, concerts, parties, photos, wearing clothing I liked, all because I felt I didn’t deserve to experience them in my body. I’ve learned along the way that happiness doesn’t magically appear one day when you’re thinner. 

Stop waiting to reach your weight loss goals before you start living your best life. Do that shit NOW!
