Weight loss is only a part of this journey.

Down 25 lbs in the past two months. It feels so awesome to finally lose!

Today I’ve been reflecting about the long four-year journey to even reach the weight loss road. This has included:

• Quitting a stressful career full of toxic people
• Spending two years in therapy dealing with childhood trauma and finally losing the anxiety that used to control my whole life
• Getting diagnosed with Hashimotos and finding the right level of thyroid meds
• Learning to love myself for the first time

I’m hoping to reach my goal weight in the next 10-12 months, but as long as I keep on a healthy path it’s all good. No hurry. Most of the hard work towards a better life is already over, and it feels important to stay focused on that.

Also, my blood pressure has gone from 150/98 to 110/78 in two months! It only takes a little time to make a huge difference apparently.
