My Weight Loss Journey – From Struggle to Freedom

My Weight Loss Journey – From Struggle to Freedom

Today, I want to talk about something really close to my heart—my weight loss journey. I’ve lost over 30 kg, and lately, I’ve been getting so many messages from people asking, “How did you do it?” So, I thought I’d share my story.

💭 The Battle That Felt EndlessFor years, I struggled with my weight. I tried it all—diets, nutritionists, supplements, fasting, and probably a dozen other things I can’t even remember. Nothing seemed to stick.

Before I got pregnant with Ezra, I was in a good place emotionally, even though I was still overweight. But after I gave birth? That was a completely different story. It wasn’t just about my body anymore—it was this mix of overwhelming emotions, and I’m pretty sure there was some postnatal depression in there too. Instead of losing weight, I gained 20 kg.

I reached a point where I just couldn’t do it anymore. The constant “battle” in my head—the guilt, the frustration, the hopelessness—it was too much.

🌟 Taking the LeapThat’s when I decided to try Mounjaro injections. To be honest, I was terrified. I had no idea if it would work, but it felt like my last chance. And now? I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I am.

For the past 7 months, Mounjaro has changed my life in ways I never thought possible. For the first time, I feel like I’m living a normal life. I hadn’t realized just how much food controlled me—how it was constantly on my mind, dictating my every move—until it wasn’t anymore.

🧠 The Biggest ShiftNow, I have this mental clarity that I’ve never had before. I feel connected to my body, like I can finally hear what it’s telling me. The underlying reasons for why I was overeating are still there, but they don’t control me anymore. I can make conscious choices now, choices that feel aligned with what my body actually needs, not what my emotions demand.

👗 A Dress That Tells a StoryIn the photos, I’m wearing a dress that used to be my “hiding” dress. I’d wear it to cover up my body, to disappear a little. But today, I’m wearing it to celebrate. It’s a reminder of how far I’ve come—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too.

💛 Grateful Beyond WordsI’m so grateful to have found Mounjaro and to be on this journey. If you’re reading this and struggling with your own weight loss journey, please know that you’re not alone. If you have questions about my experience, feel free to message me—I’m always happy to share.

Here’s to transformation, freedom, and living the life we deserve.

Happy Monday, everyone!
