Losing Weight & Getting Healthy After Full-blown Menopause at 40 Years Old

 
In 2010, I had a full hysterectomy with no ovaries to keep my hormones stable (or keep them at all). My body soon entered a perfect storm of chaos. Menopause at the age of 40? I became familiar with estrogen, estradiol, progestin, progesterone, and testosterone (in women, y’all, it IS a thing).
 
A few years later, my thyroid quit. Patchy bald spots were seen if I pulled up my hair. I lost eyelashes and eyebrows. Then weight gain and more weight gain. I started thyroid medicine with a tweaked dosage here and tweaked dosage there. Anxiety issues cropped up from a person who is normally go-with-the-flow chill. Then out of left field, a different medical crisis and emergency sent me to the E.R. And, my friends, my personal wake-up call had arrived. Even though it’d take several more years for me to land here.
 
I have been angry, frustrated, discouraged, and perplexed. I then became skeptical and cynical and had trust issues with the medical community as a whole.
 
I weighed the heaviest in my life.
 

You do not have to accept the lie that your extra weight is your new “normal”. You can reject that and be on this journey with me.

Enter July 2024, down 50 pounds from my heaviest weight. My journey started when I decided to finally invest in my health (Lord knows I’ve invested energy and money into many unhealthy things in the past!).
 
And here I am. No shots. No prescribed diet pills. No pellets or slim shot supplements. No caffeine pills for energy. Just eating good clean food ALL day. New healthy habits. And overcoming the lies I have believed. Oh, and there have been many lies I’ve believed.
 

Where I’m at now:

Besides numbers on a scale, I see other victories as well. A better functioning thyroid. Salty and sweet cravings, gone. Wearing the smallest jeans since I don’t even remember when and:

• Have more energy
• No more daily headaches or stomach issues from food
• No more nightly acid reflux medicine
• No more starvation & long periods of fasting
• No more looking for the next diet plan
• No more tears or discouragement trying on clothes
• My thyroid is working better
• I’m encouraged and hopeful
• Looking forward to family vacation and being in the family pics
 
I say all this to say, it IS POSSIBLE, y’all. If I can do it—SO CAN YOU.  You do not have to stay the way you are (frustrated with your body and that extra, depressing weight and a negative mindset that keeps you trapped). This can work. And it excites me, thinking of you getting results too.
 

Why I love Coaching:

• Keeps me accountable.
• After years of struggling–this actually works and that was too exciting to keep to myself.
• The community aspect is a huge motivating factor I didn’t think I needed but with the right people, has been key to my success.
• I in turn, want to be that supportive community and coach to others.
• I enjoy watching others find that this is doable and possible for them too.
• I want others to find the encouragement and hope that I’ve found.
