The Compulsion to Transform
Prior to 2021, I felt like I was living the dream.
I had a good, supportive husband, a house with my name on the title, a paid off car, a good job and good credit.
Turns out that was all an illusion.
My life drastically changed when my ex-husband decided he wanted to pursue a girl that wasn’t even in her 30s. What happened next? Damn what a journey it’s been.
I almost totally destroyed myself in my grief.
My weight on my hobbit-sized 5’4” frame shot up to 350 lbs. I used food, alcohol, and weed to fill a hole in my life that wasn’t physical. I was the unhealthiest I had ever been. One day? It all clicked for me that I was destroying myself in my sadness, and that I was meant to lose those things that made me think that I had a stable life.
I felt the compulsion to change. And I did just that! I started to heavily workout. I started slow, with baby steps, doing water aerobics classes at the Y. Ma. Casie always praised me for being a “mermaid”. In May 2024, I took my fitness to the next level. I changed from Lizzie the dainty mermaid to Lizzie the built amphibian…frog? Is that what I am? A frog? Time will tell.
I’m so grateful for this journey. Life seems to be getting better and better for me, even with its chaos.
Don’t resist the compulsion to grow and change, friends.
