MY Weight Loss Journey

Ok, y’all. We’re about to get real.  Although lengthy, this post is about my journey to getting healthier, happier and lighter (in more ways than one).  Get ready to find out my heaviest weight and my current weight (28 pounds down!), my struggles and my triumphs.  I am a firm believer in being confident in your body, no matter the size, but it’s important to be healthy too.  This is just the beginning for me.
