Hi there! Let me introduce myself…my name is Jessica and I’m 32 years old…and SEVERLY OVERWEIGHT. I decided that I have to change my lifestyle because I don’t want to live like this. I’m in a toxic relationship with food and my body. I no longer love myself and I want that to change. I no longer want to eat emotionally. I want to eat for fuel. I no longer want to be out of breath when I walk up the stairs. I want to be active and full of energy. I no longer want to be the D.U.F.F. (designated ugly fat friend) in my group of friends. For once I want to feel comfortable in my body. I WANT TO LOVE MYSELF.
This journey isn’t just about trying to lose weight. It’s about trying to forgive myself and fall back in love with who I am. I have a problem with self-esteem, self-confidence, and negative self-talk. This blog is my way of holding me ACCOUNTABLE, but I also hope that I can INSPIRE OTHERS with the road ahead to feeling happier, healthier, and beautiful.
Will you join me on this journey?
