75 LBS DOWN… but the biggest transformation wasn’t the number on the scale. 🥹❤️‍🔥

One thing I get asked ALL the time is, “Didn’t you lose the weight because you were on a GLP-1?”

And the answer is… it was part of my journey, but it wasn’t the whole journey.

I was on a GLP-1 for a few months and lost about 25 lbs while taking it. But more than anything, that time taught me A LOT about my body, my portions, my hunger cues and the way I was eating.

Eventually, I made the decision to get off of it because I wanted to see what I could build for MYSELF. I didn’t want my healthier lifestyle to only exist while I was taking something.

And that’s when Becoming HER really became about so much more than weight loss. 🥹

I started moving my body intentionally. Walking. Pilates. Dancing. Strength training. Being CONSISTENT.

I stopped looking at food as something I had to constantly restrict and started learning how to build meals that actually make me feel good. Protein became my BESTIEEE 👀especially because of my PCOS, but I also found something I had been missing for a long time: BALANCE.

And I kept losing weight.

25 lbs became 40… then 50… and now I’m officially 75 LBS DOWN. 😭

The GLP-1 helped me start, yes. I’ll never pretend it didn’t. But the habits I learned, the movement I fell in love with, the relationship I’m rebuilding with food and the lifestyle I created are what kept me going after it.💗

I’m not trying to become the smallest version of myself.

I’m Becoming HER … the happiest, healthiest, strongest and most balanced version of ME. ❤️‍🔥

And this is just the beginning . 🥹
