Irresistible You: Lose the Emotional Weight | Body Image | Confidence | Weight Loss

I'm not ready to spring forward . . . yet.   The recent time change got me thinking bout the phrase, "live each day like it's your last." The idea of living each day like it's my last gives me anxiety. It's chaotic, and it's toxic positivity.   Most days are going to feel mundane routine. I actually find peace in that.  In this episode, I share with you how to ma...

I have been feeling quite uninspired lately not just in weight loss, but in life. I think a lot of it was coming from the nonstop circus in the past week where I haven't had a break or time. This past weekend was awesome, but it wasn't relaxing. My daughter had her first cheer competition weekend, which was so much fun but was busy, loud, and overstimulating.  What do you do when you fee...

We need to stop this societal BS that we need to be perfect starting in January.  Come along with me in this episode as I talk about how I've been intrigued with cozy liv...

In this episode, I am talking about our frustration when we hit that dreaded weight loss plateau. We've all been there—initial success, feeling unstoppable, and then BAM, the scale stops moving. But here's the rub: what got you here won't get you there. The pounds come off faster when you first start your weight loss journey because it's a shock to your system. Welp, it's...

I shared some chit-chat about how my break was and how we need to give ourselves grace in the new year transition. You don't need to hit the ground running this first week.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!! Yea, yea, yea. The holiday season is here and you know what that means. Food, parties, mystery weight gain, and empty promises to yourself to start over next year. Newsflash! The weight gain doesn't "just" happen during the holidays. It happens when you mentally and emotionally disconnect and go into zombie mode. It's time to get...

There's a running joke about how I keep burning my Mexican rice. It came out perfectly the other night while we were making enchiladas. Frank said, "practice makes progress." Girl, what?! My mind was b l o w n. I've never heard it said that way, and it inspired this episode.  We gotta stop focusing on perfection in our weight journies and focus on the progress. It's in the...

I love to travel! BUT travel can also trigger the inner fat bitch. From the moment you decide to plan a trip, you might find yourself in desperate diet mode. There's a lot of unspoken "emotional preparation" that needs to be unpacked when planning a trip as a plus sized, fat, overweight, curvy (insert adjective of choice) woman! In this episode, I'm sharing some of my recent ah...

We have to stop being afraid of happiness! After my trip to Disney with Catalina, reality slapped me in the face HARD and I went into a mini depression.

Did you know that flamingos lose their gorgeous pink color because of parenthood? When flamingos raise their chicks, it literally drains them of their energy and nutrients, and their pink feathers temporarily turn grey. The parallels between this and motherhood are just too real. I've lost my pink...and I really love pink. I lost my way in the world.  I too have been drained of my energy from...

So, in this episode, I'm telling you all about starting semaglutide, what it is, and how things are going so far. Oh and news flash! I also talk about how weight loss injections aren’t a one-...

I'm just done with weight loss.  I can't keep bouncing between these same 10 pounds.
