What you said about gym memberships turning into donation centers had me cracking up, been there, done that. Honestly though, you’re already ahead by taking the time to prep and really think it through.. VSG was my route too, and yeah, it’s not magic, but it gave me the space to finally change stuff for real. Glad you’re here. You’re in good company.

Today’s win? I didn’t let a rough morning throw the whole day off. I used to spiral the second things didn’t go “perfect.”Even though I kind of wanted to just collapse on the sofa today, I managed to meet my protein target, drink enough water, and go for a walk. It’s the little stuff stacking up that makes me feel like I’m actually building something this time. Thanks for the reminder to celebrate it.

Love this idea. Why did I never think to do that? I was looking through my camera roll the other day and realized I had zero pics of the way I used to eat. And I wish I did, because the difference now is kinda wild. My “after” plates are just a few bites and I’m done. But back then? It was like... Olympic-level portions. lol Might do a fridge shot soon too. It’s gone from being a snack graveyard to actually looking like someone gives a damn about protein. Appreciate the inspo!
