I knew there was only one way out of this darkness my life had turned into.
The only way out was for me to become my own light.
So instead of continuing to let the pain weigh me down, I knew I had to put ME first, so I got to work.
Every day, I pulled myself off the floor and fought to be better.
Every day I took one step forward and built small habits that led to an amazing transformation.
Because beyond losing the weight, I gained something even more valuable…
I learned to respect and love myself again.
I fought to confront my negative thoughts, and I found women who inspired me to keep going and to keep growing.
Were there days I wanted to give up? Absolutely.
But I never let it break me.
Every day I became stronger, both mentally and physically.
It took years of hard work, resilience, and being honest with myself.
Seven years ago, I started this journey because I promised myself that I would not let these hardships define me.
My journey began in darkness, but I found the light and found my joy again as I climbed up the mountain.
But most importantly, throughout all of this…
