No one ever asks what made you GAIN weight!

160 Pound Difference

This time last year I was trapped in a 300+ pound prison of my own making. I was living the life I thought I deserved I struggled with negative internal dialogue, low self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness But then something magical happened…. I started believing in myself. There was no ‘quick fix’ or ‘secret’ I […]

Life change

EW to the photo on the left. Still unconscious from surgery. I remember what it was like to be a prisoner in my own body. Like I was trapped in a body that didn’t reflect how I felt inside and wasn’t anything I wanted to be. I didn’t know self-love was something I could ever […]

Trying on a pre baby skirt

These “attempts” at new things are some of the best growing experiences we can have in our life. In order for […]

This first photo shoot marked that vow that I made to myself

When I was over weight, I rarely felt beautiful, sexy, or really worthy of attention in any way. I was objectified by my body type, stereotypically assumed and felt as though I was not allowed to feel beautiful, as though it was shameful and pointless of me to even try. Having tried to lose weight […]

Be gracious, forgiving and loving with yourself. No one else knows your whole […]
