Hey friends! 💖

Today, I wanted to open up and share a little bit about my current weight loss journey something that’s not just physical, but deeply emotional, mental, and personal.

Lately, I’ve been focusing more on my health not just to lose weight, but to feel good in my body, to have energy, confidence, and peace. As someone with PCOS, I’ve learned that weight loss isn’t always easy, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. But I’m showing up for myself every single day and that’s something to be proud of. 🌿

🥗 Diet: Nourishment Over Restriction

I stopped looking at food as “good” or “bad.” Now, I focus on balance. I’m leaning into whole foods lean protein, fresh veggies, fruits, and healthy fats and cutting back on processed sugar (which has been huge for my PCOS symptoms too). I still treat myself here and there, because food is meant to be enjoyed, not feared.
I drink water like it’s my job, and I’ve learned to listen to my body’s hunger and fullness cues something I used to ignore for so long.

🏋️‍♀️ Exercise: Moving with Intention

Right now, I work out around 4–5 times a week. Some days it’s a strength session, other days it’s cardio, a walk, or even just stretching and light movement. What matters most to me is staying consistent not perfect.
Even on days I feel tired or unmotivated, I remind myself why I started. I don’t punish my body with exercise I move because I can and because it makes me feel strong, not because I hate how I look.

💭 Mindset: The Biggest Game-Changer

This journey isn’t just physical it’s mental. I’ve had to change the way I talk to myself. No more negative self-talk, no more comparing my journey to someone else’s. I’m learning to celebrate small wins: down a half-pound, had more energy, clothes fit better, or simply showed up today.
Progress isn’t always visible on the outside, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

🌟 Final Thoughts:

If you’re on your own journey whether it’s weight loss, gaining confidence, managing a condition, or just wanting to feel better you are not alone. Go at your pace. Be patient. Be kind to yourself. And remember: your worth is not defined by a number on a scale. ❤️

I’ll keep sharing my journey, including what works for me, my favorite meals, workouts, and even the tough days because it’s all part of the process.

Let’s grow stronger together. ✨
