Can you believe we are just about half way through 2024? I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by. It only feels like yesterday that it was January. Let’s recap so far of my year:

Started the year with a new goal in mind with my weightloss. Also had got a couple of self-help books to help with my self-worth and confidence. With the relationships I have been in, I really needed to work on myself and my mental health. I am a huge advocate about mental health but was really hard on myself to talk to someone myself because I was afraid of really finding out the truth about why I do, the things that I do.

Over the last 4 months I started a weightloss program and started the Zepbound injections, well I am down 35 pounds and 6 inches off my waist. I am extremely proud of myself. Most of my issues stem from my weight and always getting called fat then I really started to believe especially when it was coming from someone who I thought really loved me, my ex-husband. I did recently start getting counseling and I have been dealing with “Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia.” I have always been hard on myself especially when it came it my weight. It’s genetic as well. My grandmother on my dad’s side of the family was heavy so was one of my dad’s brother and one of his sisters. Which all three of them have passed. I also have PCOS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It is a hormonal disorder that can cause fertility issues and weight gain. Which also makes me high risk for stroke, diabeties, and heart issues. But I am super happy so far with my weightloss journey to get healthy.

My mental health is finally starting to get somewhere and to finally narrow down some of my issues. Like resulting to food for comfort, well I can’t do that anymore. Of course I may have started a new problem….Shopping lol. A lot of things come from my past dating history and the relationship that I have with my own father. In the long haul building a new and improved me will be better for my overall health and hopefully create/build a healthy relationship with not only my daughter but with someone that will be happy to give me their heart and give my heart in return.

So here’s to the next half of the year, getting to my goal weight, and here is to being the best version of me that I could ever be.
