Hey guys. I want to share something with you that Hey guys. I want to share something with you that feels a little scary. Both to share…and do. Yesterday I received my first four doses of Zepbound. Today I had bloodwork done. And in the next day or two, I'm going to take my first injection. In 2025, I fought hard to lose 40 pounds of regain. But since December I've been gaining and losing the same five pounds. Yep. Five months, same five pounds. Something had to give. The opinions on GLP-1s are all over my feeds: It's cheating. It's a shortcut. It's the easy way. It's become an echo chamber in my brain. And the loudest one of all has been, “if you stop taking it, you'll gain all the weight back.” Well. I lost 120 pounds naturally. And gained back 70. Been there, done that, have the t-shirt. So, I'm calling bull 💩! My problem isn’t cortisol, hormones, menopause, or lack of sleep. And it won’t be medication either. It’s me, yes, hi, I’m the problem…it’s me. 👋 I like to eat. And my brain knows exactly where to find that dopamine hit. Food noise is real, my friends. And if you know, you know. If you don't, well, lucky you, I will just say that battles are not won with willpower and discipline alone on this one. Nothing I'm already doing changes. I'm adding a tool that is designed to support those efforts and gives me the best shot at long term success. I talked to my doctors — all of them. And then I made an informed decision that's right for me. That's it. I started this journey six years ago. And from the beginning I shared the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. The hardest things for me to share with this community are also the things that make me feel most alone. The struggles. The setbacks. The decisions I sit on for way too long because I'm worried about opinions that aren't my own. And when I finally do share them, I'm always surprised how many of you are struggling with the same thing. That’s why I share. Obesity is isolating enough without carrying the heaviest parts in silence. So. Here we go. Stay tuned… xo Lisa 💜
Success can't be measured in a single moment caugh Success can't be measured in a single moment caught in a snapshot. It happens in the small moments along the way — and it's riddled with failure. Six years in and not there yet probably isn't a success story by most standards. But I'm still showing up for myself every day. And that's all the win I need. xo Lisa 💜 #utteringsofarecoveringdieter #bigfatskinnywisdom #ww #weightloss #facetofacefriday

Today is giving BIG spring vibes. So, I've got a f Today is giving BIG spring vibes. So, I've got a few random questions. 1. Do you do a full-blown spring house cleaning? 2. If you live in one of the states that has four seasons -- and I'm not talking to you warm weather all year peeps -- when do you starting gardening? And what do you plant? I'll pin my answers in the comments! PS. All-year warm weather peeps, tell me what you grow and when... Happy Saturday!! xo Lisa 💜 #UtteringsOfARecoveringDieter #ww #weightloss #springvibes #springcleaning
Sometimes even the best laid plans go sideways. B Sometimes even the best laid plans go sideways. But it’s ok because I’m accountable. I track every bite, lick, and taste. Accountability is important right? Well, I've been seeing a therapist, and he asked me if I was tracking. When I proudly told him yes, I kind of expected his response to be something like “great job!” Nope. Instead, he said “okay so you’re accountable, but are you intentional?” And there it was for me. I realized I was accountable for all of it but wasn't intentional about most of it. He added that accountability can feel like shame, or punishment. But intention always feels like empowerment. It’s funny, because when I started this journey in 2020, I did it with intention. I was consistent and always had a plan. I’m not sure when it happened, but somewhere along the way I forgot how good it feels when you keep the plans you make for yourself. Happy FriYaY! xo Lisa 💜 #bigfatskinnywisdom #UtteringsOfARecoveringDieter #ww #weightloss #accountability growthmindset

Every spring I plant herbs in my raised bed. This Every spring I plant herbs in my raised bed. This weekend I was out there doing a little spring clean-up. Everything looked dead. But the deeper I dug, the more I found. Little buds of green pushing through. Unseen. Unbothered. Just... growing. It made me smile, because isn't that how growth happens? You don't see it -- until you do. Happy Monday! xo Lisa 💜 #bigfatskinnywisdom #ww #weightloss #growthmindset ##utteringsofarecoveringdieter
