I always urge people to take before and after pictures because they make you realise how dramatic your body can change! I still feel the same as I did in my before pictures, you don’t lose weight and then change into a new person! I’m the same Mimi just so much happier and healthier 💕 […]

Same place completely different person!
Same place completely different person! A lot of people say they are still the “same girl” post weightloss but they are just happier.. well I can 100% tell you I am not the “same girl” I used to be and I am totally ok with that. I was not happy then but I am happy […]
No, I don’t want to see you like that
This last week I had a kind of awkward and unsettling interaction with a stranger. I was talking to a man and he mentioned how he was watching his weight. I told him that I understood what that was like and told him about how much weight I had lost. He said “No Way!” He […]
Have you ever felt like your life is absolutely unmanageable? Like you absolutely CANNOT make a change? Have you felt like giving up on your life and saying I CANNOT do this anymore? I did. And honestly, sometimes I still do, but the truth is, I COULD change, and I still can. The incredible thing […]

I want to talk about FEAR
I want to talk about FEAR. Fear can be completely debilitating, and prevents so many of us from ever even trying. When I started this journey for the 100th time, I was terrified. The THOUGHT of starting…again…and trying…again…and *possibly* not succeeding made me want to quit. We have to take the fear of failure off […]
I had times when I was eating fat meals, and the next day I was afraid to climb the scales that I gained.🤮I don’t do that anymore, but I have to take care of what I eat my whole life.🤕I know it’s damm hard and challenging but I don’t wanna go back to where I […]
Ovarian cancer
It’s crazy to think that almost 2 years ago, I was getting surgery to hopefully remove the ovarian cancer that had taken over my little body at only 23 years old. Ovarian cancer is know as the SILENT KILLER and that’s because symptoms don’t usually appear until the later stages, like myself. I was diagnosed […]
