Guys! I have never ever had my real nails longer than the nubs you normally see! I found out about 6 weeks ago that not only am I allergic to every type of fake nails, but nail glue too 😳😳

My niece is a nail tech and we ordered so HEMA free products so I could see if they would work out & I actually had a reaction to that as well and it made me so sad! My real nails are paper thin and they don’t grow on their own! When I had the last reaction I was going to take all the stuff off but I wanted to see what would happen. After about a week they had no signs at all. I have seen some hacks for people like me, so I am headed to my nieces to get them done for the wedding! Really hoping this works!

Not only have I never had real nails ever, but this is almost 4 weeks of being done and I have not broke any or ripped any off! Progress!!

I ate part of my breakfast this morning but I haven’t felt like food all day, so I am eating this on my way so I get something in my stomach!

*^these just have a HEMA free nail builder and then HEMA free polish!

Sorry I’ve been a little MIA lately!

You know I will always share things in my life and it will be the good, the bad and the ugly! If you know me in real life, you have seen my struggles over the years with mental health. Some days are good, some bad and some days see both 🤣

When I was 14 yrs old I was diagnosed with manic depression. The diagnosis of depression has stayed with me for the last 34 yrs. I’ve question that because depression is not the only thing wrong with me and I know that! In those years I have been hospitalized twice and the drs, they spend 30 seconds with you a day, just went with depression like always! The only thing ever added was anxiety.

Well I finally went in for neuropsych testing and I got the results a few weeks back. I know my meds are going to change because my diagnosis’s definitely did!

My list for most of my life:
Depression & anxiety

This is what my list looks like now:
Autism level 1, anxiety, bipolar mixed, current episode manic & trauma/stress disorder second to experiences!

Life is a rollercoaster for me every single day! Some days I don’t even have the attention span to comment back but that’s not because I don’t want to. Lately you’ve probably seen me commenting anywhere from 3-7 days later and I am working on that!

I have so much to be grateful for!! Is life tough? Finances tough? Weight loss journey tough? YES, YES & YES!! But I still have so many great things in my life!

I’m trying everyday, some successful and some not. Thank you all for sticking around on this bumpy ride of mine! I know there are so many better people on the internet for you to engage with but you’re still here! So THANK YOU 💕💕

Met Mandi at Discount Tire to switch cars 🙂 I surprised her with Dutch, so we all had a little Dutch date in the car haha now time to finish this wedding shopping lol

⭐️10/10⭐️ SF iced golden eagle, protein milk, extra sweet with SF caramel drizzle around the cup - 5pts and worth even more haha

Mandi tried the new snickerdoodle freeze and she loved it! Alexia doesn’t drink any coffee but has fallen in love with chai teas so this one is the caramel pumpkin brûlée iced chai. If I drank sugar, I would drink these chai’s all day because they are delish!

Sooo why I was in the alteration place, Mandi tried to change the tire and the lug nut key is BROKE 😭😭 I stopped at Sonic to get a drink because maybe that will help me smile lol

The neighbor is going to see if he has one so we can get the tire changed. If not I’m gonna go buy one! Just waiting on him to get home now to see what the next step is! Gonna go one errand at a time as we wait, so that we can work this into the day!

The day started peaceful haha Mandi surprised me with the holiday Sprite Zero that I love and then made me breakfast! We relaxed and then got ready to come to my dress fitting appointment! That’s where it went downhill 🤣🤣🤣

Came out to the garage to leave and my tire was flat! No time to deal with it so we hop in Mandi’s car!! Ummm this smells like a men’s bath & body works section and I got a migraine in 5 minutes! Her check engine light is on & im stressed!!

But I’m here!! Hope this day starts to turn around 💕💕

Trader Joe’s limited bags!

Have yall seen these? I didn’t even know they existed but I’m a regular at TJ’s and while I was shopping I spotted them! The first thing I did was call my daughter-in-law ion FaceTime - she already knew about them - but I picked some up for both of us and my daughter. Apparently they are not easy to come by everywhere, but my store had tons!!

Not sure what I’m going to do with them but no Trader Joe bag left behind 🤣🤣

Happy transformation Tuesday!!

The only thing I miss about the old me, is my hair 🤣🤣🤣 this going bald stuff is not for the weak!!

But for real, this first pic is at the rainbow house in front of Westboro Baptist “church” in like 2013/2014. It was the first time we visited. I was absolutely miserable! I hated going anywhere, all my clothes were getting way too small, I couldn”t walk and breathe at the same time, just miserable!

Fast forward to the new picture! This is the day of my beautiful, soon to be daughter in laws, bridal shower 🌷I took so many pictures and didn’t even care to approve every one of them first lol

I absolutely have on shape wear, but my shirt is an XL and my shorts are a L! I never thought I would ever be able to shop somewhere that wasn’t focused on plus size alone! I am currently a 16 probably, but I still carry SO MUCH weight in my stomach area! It is definitely my problem area and I hate it lol but I wouldn’t change where I am for the world lol

Life gets better and better! Less than 2 weeks before my baby gets married and I’m not so stressed about my size, pictures, all the things! I still have a ways to go, but I have come sooo far!

Down 149lbs and counting!!
