Okay, so picture this: July 2023, and my amazing sister-in-law snaps a photo of me in a bright blue swimsuit. The flushed face wasn't from the sun, it was from carrying around all the extra weight. At 50, I was seriously overweight, indulging way too much in alcohol, and puffing through a pack and a half of cigarettes every day. My numbers were all over the place. That picture was my wake-up call. I knew I had to make a change or I wouldn't see 60. First, I kicked the smoking habit and then, about half a year later, I started on Ozempic. Getting rid of the nicotine cravings helped me change my lifestyle and deal with my emotions. It took me around 20 years after first having kids, but I've finally lost around half my body weight!
I even included a before/after of my skin because it's incredible to me. The close-ups on the left are from the day I quit smoking, and the others are recent. I got that mole checked out last year.
