| | Week of 01/17/2019 - Featured Blog Post Losing Weight While Happy I have been happier than ever this last year or so. I've managed to cut out people in my life that weren't good for me, I'm married to the most incredible human, and I'm doing something I love everyday of my life. I've also gained about 30 pounds. I usually jump between hating myself for this and not caring at all that it's happened---but when I think about what I want for my life, I know that sitting at 245 pounds is not healthy for me and may cut short a life I've worked so very hard for. Over my life, my weight loss has always occurred at the worst moments of my life --- when my boyfriend of 4 years cheated on me, when I was at a job that took everything out of me, or when I was failing in my masters program. The simple combination of high pressure, stress, and depression pushed the scale down. But now, while I'm thriving I'm trying very hard to find the motivation from within to push it down myself, and I feel like if I can do it happy then maybe it has a better chance of staying down. So, here's to the first time I lose weight while utterly and completely happy instead of losing weight to be happy or losing weight because I'm miserable. I think it's going to be an incredible journey.
