GM ☕️

Exactly one year ago, I reached my ATH in weight. I was coming from months of grieving and feeling absolutely lost.

On that 7th of March 2025, I noticed that continuing living like that would make me have less time on this earth with my kids and friends.

I started a very gradual journey of looking for medical assistance (and yes, that included medication), changing my eating habits, returning to exercising.
It was all gradual.

I had to fight with thoughts of failure for not being flawless. I had to fight with self-punishment. I had to accept help from others. I had to be less hard on myself. I had to learn to be less impulsive and more patient. I had to recognize that faith brings me peace and surrender to acknowledging that some things are not rationally explainable. I revisited my relationship with God and that brought me much more clarity.

It’s been a journey. I let new people into my life that knowingly or not taught me low-time preference, respect for timings and patience. I’m so grateful to have them in my life and I hope I also somehow make a difference for them, too.

It’s been a journey and apart from the 33kg I eliminated, I am another person today. Much nearer to the Marina I left somehow closed in the closet for years. I found myself and that feels good, energetic and bright again. I’m healing.

Now LFG outside and soak up the sun. ☀️
