Hi there, my name is Brittany, and I have been struggling with weight and depression since purity. I would thin out, get heavy again and it would be a vicious cycle for years until I became a mother than I just kept gaining weight baby after baby. 4 children later I was over 200lbs and had terrible self-esteem. I tried fab diet after fab diet, nothing worked. I can’t honestly tell when it changed but about 2 years after my 4th child was born, I made the decision I was going to do. I did the research and IU put in the work. within 2 years I was muscular, size 3, I have never had more confidence in my life than I do now. Which brings me to the mental part of my journey and blog, during all the weight changes I dealt and other life struggles that got thrown at me, I had my trusted friends’ depression & anxiety with me sitting in the passenger seat along for the ride.

During those first few years I got healthy I got a divorce and had to also start my life over. Only ever being a stay-at-home mom I was not in a position to take care of myself, or my children and my ex wasn’t really ever interested in the being a father to begin with, needless to say I was mostly on my own. I won’t go into a lot of details, but I spent years finding myself as losing my weight, depression, and anxiety. I want you to know you are not alone and I have been there. It is not hopeless. You can do it just like I did. We are constantly evolving and learning.
