In December of 2024, I was 302 pounds, and a single mother of a 3-year-old and 6-month-old baby. I have a village, but still always had stress and too many responsibilities to keep up with for one single person. On top of the stress, I was overweight. Before becoming pregnant with my second child, I had just lost the weight from having my first. It took me over two years (with no routine diet or exercise plan) to get back to my “pre-kid” weight and then boom! I was pregnant again.
I constantly looked at myself in the mirror and was disgusted with what I saw. I didn’t like my body, even though everyone told me it was normal after having two babies. By December of 2024, I was depressed. I was so overweight that I couldn’t even enjoy simple tasks, such as taking my kids to the park. I hated the summer months because shorts were not an option if I was going in public. I hated winter because I was so big that I didn’t like the way jeans looked on me. I had completely lost myself, my spark, and any inner joy.
Beauty comes from within, and I knew being bigger wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I also longed to just feel better. I didn’t crave being skinny for “beauty” reasons. I just wanted to be able to keep up with my kids and do things with them without feeling physically exhausted after doing the smallest tasks. I was 31 years old and could barely make it through taking them to the store or the park without being out of breath. My body was screaming at me. I also had high blood pressure issues due to the excess weight — and that was very concerning because I’m still young (that’s what everyone says anyways, I feel old😉).
So, one day I just woke up and made a choice to change.
I was done feeling miserable and depressed. I knew if I lost weight, it would fix so many things in my life.
With the help of the team at Skinny Clinic, I got my spark and inner joy back.
Fast forward to today. I’m down to 158 pounds. I went from a size 22 to a size 11/12. I love wearing shorts, jeans, and actually enjoy fitted shirts. I’m not just pre-baby weight, I’m back to how thin I was my freshman year of high school! I never thought I’d ever reach this size again in my life! The best part is that my blood pressure issues have resolved and, most importantly, I love being active with my children! They get a happier and better version of me because I’m no longer miserable. I’m happy.
I absolutely give all the credit to the team at Skinny Clinic! Not only did I get my spark back, but I also can afford what they offer! I am a single mom on a tight budget, but I am always able to get my medication. They give the best tips and guidance and are so sweet. It’s like talking to friends. They are welcoming and encouraging, and the process was quick and simple!
I am forever thankful for being blessed with such an amazing team to help me with my weight loss journey. If you want your spark back too, call them immediately!
