I want to be clear about something up front: I’m on a health and fitness journey that may or may not involve weight loss - but my goal isn’t to shrink to be more worthy. I’ve spent years healing my relationship with food, movement, and my body. This space is about sustainable self-care, not aesthetic perfection.

I’m here to document improvement - however it shows up. That includes eating for nourishment and pleasure, movement that brings joy rather than punishment, and mental health practices that prioritize healing over hustle.

I know that for many people, “health” and “weight loss” have been weaponized. I’m working hard to stay rooted in a body-neutral, trauma-informed mindset, even as I explore what wellness looks like for me. That includes questioning diet culture, honoring lived experience, and rejecting shame-based narratives - especially those that target fat, neurodivergent, LGBTGIA+, disabled, or marginalized bodies. I won’t always get it right, but I’m not afraid to learn or admit when I’ve made a mistake.

TL;DR: I’m not “before and after".” I’m in process. And I’d love your company if you’re on a similar path.
