This feels vulnerable to share, but it also feels important.
Over the last few years, I’ve lost over 50 pounds... that’s me in the hot pink top.
But the number isn’t really the story.
For a long time, I hid how much weight I had gained. As a nutritionist, that carried a lot of shame. I felt like I should have had all the answers, but my body was dealing with more than willpower or calories. Hormones, thyroid, stress, and life all played a role.
What changed wasn’t one perfect plan. It was a lot of pieces slowly coming together.
Barre, Pilates, walking, weights, hormone and thyroid support, and learning how to stay consistent while working around back and nerve pain.
The physical part mattered, but the mental part was just as big. Fitness became less about punishing my body and more about coming back to myself.
And community has been such a huge piece of that. Being in rooms like this, with people simply showing up, moving, laughing, and trying their best, makes the process feel less lonely.
This journey has been physical, mental, and hormonal. It hasn’t been quick or perfect, but I feel stronger, healthier, more grounded, and finally like my body is working with me again. 💗🩰🦋
