Reflection: I’ve had a harder time these past few months. My knee surgery kept me from being active, & the 1 yr. anniversary of my baby sister’s passing, combined with a kitchen reno & the stresses of the holidays, as well as the winter blues, left me depressed and unmotivated. I’m not gonna lie…I was struggling with bad habits & my old friend body dysmorphia. Not having a kitchen made it easy to be lazy with food choices and tracking and a post op appointment showed that I’d gained weight. That immediately messes with my head. The kitchen is still not done. It’s still winter. I still wish I weighed less. And…I still miss my sister terribly. She was the one person in my life that no matter what. I mean NO MATTER WHAT… she could make me feel special, loved and strong. She’s gone now so I had to pull myself back up on my own. I took a look back at myself a year ago. That is when I was at my lowest and that is what brought me here to FatSecret. I was afraid that I was all the way back there to that place of feeling lost, but when I looked at the photo from Feb of last year, I could see I am standing taller now and my face and hair looked healthier. I am not all the way back there. Yes… I had taken a detour, but I still have the tools the knowledge and I know value of the discipline that I need to continue my journey. I share this to keep it real, to keep it authentic and share with others that I can relate to the struggles. I’m so glad to have the support of my FatSecret friends.Thank you friends!❤️Have a great weekend!

It’s amazing what our minds put us through. I look at your pictures and see a stunningly beautiful woman who looks like the picture of physical health. It’s sad you can’t see it. You help me realize that maybe I’m that person to someone else and I struggle with the same mental challenges. Thanks for sharing.

Shake those pounds Thank you! You’re so sweet! And yes… I think most of the battle is mental and when my mind sees I’m failing I do. It only takes one day of negative mindset to derail me but at the same time, it only takes a day of positive mindset to put me back on track. Stinking mind… If I could just get it to cooperate 100% at the time lol.
