A Health Update

I almost didn't share this one, but wanted to be honest with everyone who has struggled with their weight or health as they get older.

If you’ve been here a while, you know that six months after I had my third and last baby, I had a breast reduction and lift. I was 41 and carrying an extra 25 pounds and really struggling. There are a lot of health issues in my family, and I was worried about my heart health and the possible onset of diabetes. But the very honest truth is that I was struggling in my body and hated getting dressed. That’s not to say we need to fit any sort of mold or that being a certain size is “best.” This is just my experience and how I felt in my body.

The following month, I started seeing a doctor who ran every possible lab and tests, and we got to the bottom of what was going on. I shared a big health update in May, and want to be honest about where I’m at right now.
