Hiya!

I've been a lurker for a few months now, enjoying each and every post I come across. They are all so encouraging and motivating.

I'm about a year in from a complete 180 lifestyle. I left my toxic job, cut off a narcissist parent, have (finally) just recently (a couple of weeks ago) gotten off all medications that I was convinced I needed by said narcissist parent, and moved to a new state. The medications include anti-depressants (cymbalta), sleeping pills, and amphetamines (what kept me thin for so long- hello 30 lbs gained immediately once quitting). Ive also stopped smoking cigarettes (about six months now) and quit alcohol. I do enjoy my edibles tho (but limit myself to 5mg per night to wind down). The past month I have been walking everyday. I recently hit a NSV goal of 30k steps in one day.

Its not been easy to say the least. I've been a monster and had days where I'm sure I've scared my husband and my daughter, hell ive scared the shit out of myself several times when the Cymbalta withdrawal was hitting hard. Some days, I didn't think I was going to make it.

But here I am now. I've come out on the other side. I have mental clarity and my spirit is singing. I'm ready to work on my diet (serious sugar amd processed food addiction) and get serious about my fitness.

I started this new diet and exercise plan two days ago (coming off sugar is one of the hardest things I've done). I started the Studio S Live Bootcamp on Amazon yesterday. Today was my second day doing the boot camp and 14 minutes in, I came crashing down on my ankle, heard about 4 cracks. Its definitely sprained, might be fractured. But the part of it that bothers me is that its only the 2nd day and I'll be recovering for 3 to 6 weeks after finally getting my mojo back and being mentally ready to change my lifestyle, which has been a real feat for me.

I'm discouraged to say the least. As I write this, I just accidentally swallowed a plum seed that I've been sucking on. What a mess 😬
