Stacey’s New Beginning

Six weeks ago, I started this journey quietly. No big announcements, no hype. Just a simple decision:

I was ready to feel better. I was ready to heal. I was ready to stop living in a body that felt inflamed and exhausted.

And today, I get to say something I haven’t said in decades:

I’ve lost 25 pounds in 6 weeks.

But the number isn’t the most important part — the transformation happening underneath is.

✨ This Time Doesn’t Feel Like Weight Loss… It Feels Like Healing

I’m not white-knuckling my way through cravings. I’m not starving. I’m not obsessing over food. I’m not mentally battling myself every day.

Something deeper has shifted.

My digestion is calmer.
My blood sugar is the best it’s been in years.
My inflammation is going down.
My energy is steadier and clearer.
My body actually feels like it’s working with me — not against me.

For the first time, I feel safe in my own body.

💛 The Quiet Victories Behind the Scale

The scale isn’t the only thing changing. Every day, I’m collecting little victories that mean even more to me:

• I wake up without the old morning soreness.
• I can breathe easier and move easier.
• My stomach isn’t loud, upset, or unpredictable.
• I don’t have that “heavy, inflamed” feeling anymore.
• My mind feels clearer — like someone turned the volume down inside my head.
• My cravings have gone almost completely silent.

These aren’t the kind of changes a diet gives you — these are the changes that happen when your body starts to heal.

🌱 Why 25 Pounds Feels Like So Much More

I’ve lost weight before — on programs, with points, with rules… and every single time ended the same way. I gained it back.

Why?

Because I wasn’t healing my body. I was managing it, negotiating with it, fighting with it.

This time, 25 pounds feels different because it came from:

• lower inflammation
• smoother digestion
• calmer blood sugar
• a nervous system that’s finally relaxing
• meals that support my body, not stress it
• steady, gentle consistency — not perfection

This isn’t a diet. This is me getting my life back.

🌅 Six Weeks In — and I’m Just Getting Started

I’m proud of the 25 pounds lost. I’m proud of showing up every day. I’m proud of the discipline — but even more proud of the peace I feel inside.

For the first time in years, the future version of me feels real. Possible. Close.

Six weeks down. Twenty-five pounds gone. A whole new beginning unfolding.

If this is what healing looks like… I can only imagine where I’ll be six weeks from now.
