December 2021 marked the beginning of my first successful weight loss journey that led me to lose over 100lbs. Yes, I said first successful weight loss journey. Truth be told, prior to losing 100lbs, I had numerous unsuccessful attempts to lose weight. So what made my most recent weight loss journey different from my previous attempts? Knowledge. It wasn't until I took a mandatory nutrition course during nursing school that I finally understood the fundamentals of weight loss. From there I used my newfound knowledge, and the rest is history.

​

So big whoop, I lost 100lbs. Why do I need to share my journey on the internet? As I mentioned previously, my driving force in life is to make a difference in other's lives. That being said, I know how it feels to be unhappy with the number on the scale. I know how it feels to be on the other side of the screen wishing for a different body. I know the feeling of hopelessness after failing to lose weight countless times. For those reasons, I share my journey. I continue to hope that in some way, what I've shared and continue to share, has helped and will help at least one individual. I strive to be the person I needed 100lbs ago.
