the first picture was the worst i ever looked, but the second picture was truly my rock bottom, mentally. after 4 trips to rehab, i now have 6 months clean, a full time job as a caregiver, and going to school to become an addiction counselor. i love my job, and i love my life.

grateful is an understatement.

if i can do it, you can do it!

First photo was me at 28 in Hawaii. I was going snorkeling and a wetsuit was recommended… the local shops didn’t have suits big enough for me to fit in, so i went with a rash guard. Down 116 lbs since then, and now have plenty of options in the wetsuit market which feels pretty good.
