The journey of a first time momma

I have always been overweight or obese since my sophomore year of college. I struggled with terrible body dysmorphia as a teen and felt that I was larger than I was because of my height and weight compared to my small friends and some family influences as well. Once I found out I was pregnant in 2022 I said I’ve got to change. Well it wasn’t until February of this year that I implemented that. We were tired parents and let convenience take over our lives. After being very sick with the norovirus I stopped soda, energy drinks (my weakness) and started eating real food and no more fast food 3+ times a week. I have officially lost 25 pounds since my highest PP weight. I am proud. I am glad my body said this is enough you need to change. I am happier than ever and our son is thriving.
