Who’s ready for your new favorite dessert?

Seriously, this is the perfect blend of tang and sweetness, fiber and protein, low calorie and high flavor. Don’t forget to add toppings, I love some almond slices for a little extra crunch.

I used and recommend yogurt for this one. It provides and extra protein boost to keep it extra filling.

This trend reminds me of one of my favorite stories:

A huge storm hits a town, causing massive flooding. As waters rise, a man climbs onto his roof and prays: “God, please save me!” A little later, a group of neighbors paddles by in a small lifeboat. They shout, “Hop in! We can help you escape!” The man shakes his head.
“No, thank you. God will save me.” Hours pass, the water climbs higher. A rescue team in a motorboat arrives. “Sir, get in! You’ll drown!”Again, he refuses: “God will save me!” Eventually, the flood gets extremely high, and the man is left clinging to the top of his roof. A helicopter flies over and drops a rope. “Grab the rope! This is your last chance!” He still refuses: “God will save me!”
Before long, the flood sweeps him away, and he drowns.
When he gets to Heaven, he asks why God didn’t save home and God responds with, “I sent you at boats and I sent you helicopters, you chose not to take them.”

It’s your job to take to use the tools that are given to you! Take the tools and take the chance!

I know that I can fail because I’ve done it so many times before. I know how easy it is to slip and how hard it is to stay motivated.

This is how I maintain consistency throughout the week. If you want more tips like this, make sure to like and save this post so that you can come back to it as you need these reminders. Even better, repost it so that we can grow our community and get even more people to share their tips.

I think, when you get that big, you have a tendency to ignore some things and the rest are easily rationalized with aging, stress, being a parent, etc.

1. The joint pain, my back, hips, and legs constantly ached. I don’t even remember the last time I’ve had back pain.

2. I thought I had asthma because I could barely walk without getting winded. Turns out, nope, I was just suffocating my lungs with all the inflammation and excess weight.

3. Constant food cravings. I thought that’s how everyone lived, turns out that it’s not.

4. Drinking sugary drinks all the time because it’s normal to be a basic bitch and Starbucks is life. Also, no, it’s not normal to drink 2 Starbucks 600 calorie bomb drinks a day.

5. Skin tags, I was getting them ins every places, regularly. I haven’t had a new one pop up in over 2 years.

6. Hating exercise! It turns out that enjoying movement is way more normal than dreading it.

7. Being tired all the time. My body was working hard just to survive and my hormones were so screwed up that hormonal exhaustion had me feeling like I was ready for hibernation.

8. Terrible skin! I was dealing with adult body acne that I couldn’t get rid of. That’s another thing I haven’t had to deal with in 2 years.

9. The biggest thing that I normalized? Regular weight gain. I figured it was normal to gain weight each year and it’s not.

What about you, what did you think was normal?

10 Brutal Truths I Wish I Knew Before Starting Ozempic (or any GLP-1):
1. It takes time. Don’t expect instant results — it often takes multiple dose increases before you really feel appetite suppression.
2. Not all GLP-1s are the same. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has shown better weight loss outcomes than Ozempic for many people. New meds, like retatrutide are showing even more promise.
3. It’s not effortless. These meds help, but they don’t do the work for you. You still need discipline, movement, and consistency.
4. Calorie deficit still matters. You can not lose weight on these meds if you’re still eating too much.
5. Muscle loss is real. If you’re not lifting weights and eating enough protein, you’ll lose lean mass — and that’s not the goal.
6. Side effects suck sometimes. Nausea, fatigue, constipation, and weird food aversions can hit hard.
7. Food might not feel the same. Your cravings and hunger cues may totally shift — and it can feel strange or even emotional.
8. Plateaus still happen. Weight loss isn’t linear. These meds don’t bypass the body’s natural rhythm.
9. Mental health matters. Weight loss doesn’t heal emotional eating or self-image issues. You’ll still need to work on your mindset.
10. The “after” is coming. Whether you stay on it long-term or not, maintenance is a different game. Be prepared.

These meds are powerful tools — but you’ve still got to show up.

So sorry, but not really. Love you all!

I’m over the over-selling of stuff to people on weight loss journeys. So here’s my rant…

11/15/2025

Are you stuck in a plateau? I know it sucks but these are the things that I tell myself when I’m frustrated…

- I can keep up with my child now. I ran somewhere with her the other day and said “I never knew you could run.” Yes, baby, I can run now.
-Lipedema sucks and I can’t compare my shape to those who don’t have it.
-I’ve come further already than I ever thought I would.
-I’ve been able to meet and e-meet women who u respect and we’ve been able to support each other along the way.
-My bloodwork is excellent, fatty liver non-existent, heart rate in athletic range, and I no longer have high blood pressure.
-I’m showing my daughter what a healthy relationship with food and exercise looks like.
-I’ve gotten my spark for life back
-I walked up the stairs in a train and my hips fit
-I shop in normal stores now and buy off the rack

Some things you need to know….

Some days you’ll see it some days you won’t. You will feel it before you see it. Some days you will be tired. Some days you’ll have more energy than you ever imagined. Some days it will feel easy. Some days you can’t imagine it getting any harder than it is that day. Some days will be better and some days will be worse, but a year from now you’ll be proud of all that you’ve done to get to where you are.
