6 Months Alcohol Free!

I haven’t been very active on my blog for a while. Truth is I have been hiding and playing the victim card. When I got my thyroid and Hashimotos diagnosis, I let my mind and self-sabotage take over. I made several half ass attempts at feeling better and they worked for a hot minute but I then I would feel sorry for myself and tell myself that if I’m going to be tired, overweight and a slew of other symptoms, then I might as well just stop trying. So, I did just that. I stopped walking daily, I stopped eating healthy, I stopped doing so many things that made me feel good and instead hid away at home. Tired, fat and lonely. All I needed was to trade my dogs in for cats and I would’ve had the perfect spinster starter kit.

10 things I've learned last year that have change my life...

This past year has been the most transformative year of my life. What I thought was a simple weight loss journey, turned into a journey into my soul. A journey to discover who I need to be and especially a journey of self-love and acceptance. I have shed many tears, wrote pages of journal entries and questioned myself more times than I can count. I wouldn’t change a minute of it. Below is a brief list of the 10 most important things I learned last year. These are the 10 things that have transformed me on the inside and how I see my life. A life that I see now is pretty amazing.

Unfuck Yourself!

I've been saying for years that losing weight is hard. That's been my mantra that I've been preaching for years and used far too long as an excuse to stay fat. It's not entirely true though and I just came to that realization recently.
