The COVID 15

I gained exactly 15 pounds my freshman year of college.

So cliche right?

And then I gained and lost that same 15-20 pounds about oh I don’t know, 12 times over the next 15 years.

Until finally I said to myself STOP IT.

THIS IS ENOUGH LAURA.

THIS WILL NOT HAVE POWER OVER YOU ANYMORE.

YOU WILL NOT PASS THIS DOWN TO YOUR DAUGHTER (or your son).

And so I went to work.

I overcame my biggest struggle.

It seemed impossible.

It seemed like the worst timing.

It felt so unfair.

It was hard.

But I did it.

There is never a perfect time to overcome your diet drama.

To stop starting again on Monday.

To starve yourself until Friday and then free for all it all weekend.

To stop raiding the pantry because you are bored or anxious or you need some fun in your life.

There is never a perfect time to learn how to FEEL your emotions instead of eating them.

The time could be now, my baby babe boos.

So will you gain the corona 15 (or fill in your vice) and continue this vicious cycle or will you say to yourself STOP IT?

I can help you.

I have got you.

I have been there.
