A heavy reminder...

• Got Thanksgiving groceries! 
• Created my new recipe for my dessert! 
• Created the roll recipe! 

    I feel super ready for the holiday! I’m excited for this year, more so than last to be honest! Not sure why! 

 

    Tomorrow, I am decorating for Christmas and am feeling really festive as of late, so that’s also nice! 

 

    It’s been slow going getting myself back to normal again! It’s like I was saying yesterday, it’s a forever struggle. The goal is to just not give up on myself like I did before. 

 

    It’s been a year and a half since my weight loss and mental health journey started and I’ve been close to giving up. But haven’t. That’s real progress in my book. The old me wouldn’t have held on this long! 

 

    For some, that may seem like such a small accomplishment, but to me; it’s everything! 

 

    If you’ve never struggled with your mental health, consider yourself lucky and pray that you never have to feel that shift. 

 

    The one where you feel your happy, loving self shift to a sad, miserable, self-loathing person who always feels sadness and loneliness. 

 

    Pray you never have to be a bystander in your own life; slowly watching as months and eventually years pass you by. 

 

    I lost many years of happiness, adventure and experiences to depression, anxiety and the unknown. 

 

    You don’t have to suffer in silence. You aren’t weak, you’re a warrior.
