It is really easy to obsess over your "failures" and your "shortcomings" when you are focused on losing weight. I know I fall into the trap of putting myself down and obsessing about the one part of my life where I just cannot seem to get it together. It gets to be a vicious cycle. You feel down about yourself, you have negative self talk, you don't feel like putting the effort in because you feel like a failure which leads to more feeling down about yourself, etc. I'm over ...

Getting Healthy, Losing Weight & Tea Time
I'm sharing how tea has helped me make healthier choices as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias® I became a tea drinker when I started trying to lose weight and I am sharing how it has helped me.

Dropping the Baby Weight
When a campaign about documenting your weight loss journey with the help of Just Dance 4 showed up in my inbox, I knew it was time to put on my big girl pants and apply. It scared me that applying meant I could get the campaign and getting the campaign meant that I would have to talk about my weight. Post pictures about my weight. Actually do something about my weight. I applied via my phone while on a camping trip with my family. A camping trip where I sat on the beach in a sundress instead ...
