Nothing special.And Dya know what, this photo doesn't even come close to portraying the transformation that has happened to me in these short few years.The photo on the left was October 2017. I was in the middle of painful physio to recover from a pelvic injury during childbirth. A walk that used to take me 10 minutes was now taking 30 minutes.My confidence was low, and although I was so delighted with my beautiful little family, I had lost myself along the way.I'd spent from age 23-31 having babies and building a home that I never even stopped to figure out who I was.So I started on my journey to lose some weight, genuinely just wanting to be skinnier and look better.Now that has been some journey!!
