Why My Anxiety Is Through The Roof

Why My Anxiety Is Through The Roof

Ok, it’s time to be honest and raw here. This week is kicking my butt. Hard. I’m struggling to push past my anxiety to accomplish…well, anything. That’s the thing with Anxiety; you can have great days and weeks, even months, and then BAM!, you’re anxious, can’t sleep, stressing about everything, and struggling to make it through the day.

Every year, my family gets together for a 5-day camping trip just outside of Randle, WA. 5 days of lounging, reading, bike-riding, swimming in the river, picking berries, and hiking; this is one of the most rejuvenating occasions of the year for me.

How Anxiety Sabotaged My Health Journey

How Anxiety Sabotaged My Health Journey

*Disclaimer: This is MY story and journey; it may look different than yours. I know what a healthy body and weight looks like for me, and this post is about how Anxiety kept me from achieving that. Four years ago (wow, time flies), I started my life with the most amazing man; we lived on a sailboat in Seattle and I was in heaven. And then… I gained weight. Slowly, at first, but then my stress grew, we ate too…
