## Caption

Throwback Friday. (Because I obvious missed the #tbt opportunity yesterday...🙈) Sometimes these old photos are tough but most of the time they are MOTIVATING.

I've never had to lose weight before but right now I want to. Back-to-back surgeries for an appendectomy and a miscarriage, both with complications and infections, caused so much trauma to my body. I got to a place where I didn't feel like myself anymore.

So now I need to work. I want to feel more comfortable and I want to compete at a lower weight class. But I also need to do it the smart way. I have a great coach who cares and adjusts things as we go. He LISTENS. This is key. Find yourself an awesome coach and some great friends like @ok_bly and @alice_beck1 and @_fikinikiii and @caitlinjoski  who will support you and keep pushing you and there will be no end to what you can achieve. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
