I'm a work-at-home mama of two beautiful children, who are 7 and 4. I've had an unhealthy relationship with food for much of my life; whether it was eating too little thinking that it would "gnaw the fat away" or binging to cope with my emotions and anxious thoughts.

In 2017 I was formally diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder with obsessive tendencies as well as depression. I'd been struggling for years, in denial or simply unsure - I can't really say. But when I finally sought help, it's when I began turning my life back around, for the better.

It's baby steps every day, but I'm making slow but steady progress with both my mental and physical health. Hoping that between the accountability here, as well as the support of a community, I can get myself back into better eating and workout routines, to help further my mental and emotional progress.
