From Weight Loss to Self-Love
When asked about my weight loss journey, I would often simplify it by saying, "I hired a trainer and changed my diet." However, the truth is far deeper.
For years, I thought the answer to my weight and food struggles was simple: find the right diet, get more discipline, push harder. But no matter what plan I followed, I always seemed to circle back to the same place, feeling like I had failed and wondering what was wrong with me.
​
Maybe you know that feeling too. That cycle of trying so hard, only to end up frustrated, ashamed, and ready to give up.​
What finally changed things for me wasn’t just a new meal plan or exercise routine, it was learning to approach myself with compassion instead of criticism. With the right support, I lost 130 lbs. But more importantly, I began healing my relationship with food and with my body. I discovered that self-compassion, not self-punishment, is what makes real, sustainable change possible.
​​
And the truth is, the journey didn’t end with weight loss. Like so many women, I had to face emotional eating, shifting hormones, and body changes I couldn’t control. What keeps me grounded now isn’t perfection, it’s knowing how to return to kindness when things feel hard.
That’s why I do this work. I want you to know:
-
You’re not broken.
-
You don’t have to give up on yourself.
-
Healing is possible, and it doesn’t require shame or punishment.
My commitment now is to help others find the same freedom I’ve found, to approach food, body, and life with self-love at the center. Because when you treat yourself with compassion, change becomes not only possible, but sustainable.
