Progress Over Pressure: Gratitude in My Weight Loss Journey

I want to pause and express gratitude.

I’ve been struggling a bit lately with additional weight loss, and my appetite seems to be creeping back in the wrong direction. But instead of panicking, I’m choosing to take this one day at a time. When my body is ready, I trust the process will find its rhythm again.

So often, we rush ourselves and place unnecessary pressure on our bodies to lose weight quickly—fast, steady, now. 🙋‍♀️

But sometimes our bodies are saying, slow down… take it easy.

And that’s okay.

It’s important to savor how far we’ve already come. I can do so much more than I could before. Even though I still have pain and some limitations, I am miles ahead of where I was last year—and the year before that.

So thank you, body, for holding me together the best you could.

Thank you for continuing to heal.

Thank you, heart, for offering me grace.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
