Erica Loses It

getting close to being halfway to my goal & was just reflecting on the fact that I never would have set foot out of the house in this fit a year ago!

I spend so much time mourning the person I thought I’d be before all this

You can do this & I believe in you baby!

these pants were tight 80lbzzzz ago & now they are ready to be retired🩵 so greatful every day

WE GOT A BADDIE DOWN🥲

so thankful for this journey🤍

Had to share this comment because it truly just is the kindest thing and I could not appreciate it more. Social media comments are more negative than ever & I encourage you all to be more like Erin. Spread kindness wherever you can because I can attest it means the world💗 sending you love Erin!

I’m not a high performance athlete like plz chill with the food policing in the GLP1 space🤪💗

oh I ATE THAT

I will never stop talking about 💛 the number of times I’ve been told “I never would have guessed” or “I didn’t think people like you dealt with things like that” is honestly astounding - but how could anyone have known when I worked so hard to keep it a secret?

I struggled in silence for years before my attempt. I tried SO many avenues to get help, so many medications, and truly felt like I had no choice and there was no life left for me. I spent nine days in inpatient, and then two weeks after I was back at work full time which is mind boggling to think about. I truly don’t know how I kept it all together after such a life altering event while dealing with so much emotional turmoil that 95% of people around me knew nothing about. I wasn’t immune to struggling just because I used to be a straight A student and worked full time and seemed okay. I look back and feel so proud of myself that managed to keep it all together while trying to heal and work full time and figure out a path forward. There was truly a time I had to tell myself every single day that my sun would shine again just to get out of bed in the morning - and three years later my sun shines most days. Not every day is perfect, but I am so glad I am still here. Stay another day. You deserve the chance to let your light shine again.

Almost three years since I made the choice to STAY and keep fighting. If you’re in the dark right now just know I want you here. From one stranger who struggled to another who might be struggling - I’ve been where you are and you can find the light in your life again. Please stay another day.🩵
