Choosing to Live Fully
There’s a difference between being alive and truly living. For years, I was stuck in survival mode—gaining weight, feeling exhausted, and dealing with an injured knee that made even basic movements painful. Then came the health scares, the moments that forced me to confront a hard truth: if I didn’t change, I wouldn’t just miss out on living; I might lose the chance entirely. I want to live. Not just be alive—but actually live. And that realization was the spark that set me on this journey of choosing to live fully.
Waking Up to Reality
Everyday struggles piled up, and it felt like I was carrying the weight of the world—both literally and figuratively. Little things reminded me of how much my body was holding me back. I’m doing this because I want more than survival. I want freedom. I want to walk without pain. I want to go places with confidence. I want to buy things without having to check the weight capacity. I want to fly in a standard seat—not first class because of my size. I don’t want the steering wheel to rub on my belly when I turn corners. I just want to exist in a normal amount of space. I want to do things without having to worry if I’ll fit—not fit in, but actually FIT.
Living, Not Just Surviving
This journey isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. I’m not aiming to become someone else; I’m becoming the best version of myself. The version who can go places with confidence, take up space unapologetically, and embrace the freedom to live without limitations.
I’m sharing this because I know I’m not alone. If you’ve ever felt like your body or your circumstances were holding you back, I hope my story reminds you that change is possible. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
Because we all deserve more than just being alive. We deserve to live.
