By nature, I am a perfectionist. I always try my best to have it all together and present the very best version of myself. Over thr course of the past 3 years, my life was a mess, Between covid, job stress, family stress, Illnesses and social isolation, I became extremey sad and depresses. No matter how hard I tried to keep it together, my struggle manifested itself in my weight gain. I got to the point where I didn't want to leave the house. I turned down most invitations and opted to sit on mt couch-ashamed. I tried over and over to pull myself out of this space but nothing seened to motivate me enough. I stopped caring. Instead, I channeled all of my energy into trying to be the perfect mommy. The perfect cheerleader for my friends, the perfect mentor for my colleagues. It was overwhelming.
Two months ago to the day (Dec 20, 2022), I met Mariya Rogers, a fabulous Nurse Practitioner at Wellness MD in Odenton, MD. She listen to my struggles and crafted a plan for me. She called me weekly and then daily to make sure that I was on track. To make sure that I we pivoted as needed. She saved me! I saved myself. Two months ago, I was in embarrassed and in despair. Today, I stand with my head held high. While I am still about 25lbs off of my goal, I am so freaking proud of myself for how far I have come! 40lbs lighter and 100x happier.
