- My story is that I found out at 29 weeks pregnant I had breast cancer that had metastasized to my liver, which is Stage 4, most would say “terminal”, in November 2019. Before my son was born I was told I would have 3, maybe 5 years to live, which was a horrific thought, but really lit a fire under me to be an exception and stay alive to raise my miracle of a son. So I did EVERYTHING, including a very restrictive diet and literal weeks of fasting for 2+ years until I decided to trust God instead and well, it worked, but I trusted Him so much (and He has been faithful… 2.5 years cancer-free with a now 4 year old) that I indulged every craving for about a year and have shot up from 98 pounds to 150. So, I finally got the motivation and have recovered enough mentally to accept I have a life ahead of me and I want to get down to my “healthy” weight of 135 and live more intentionally, so here I am! Blessed in so many ways, appreciative of a second chance and ready to start a new chapter with my best foot forward.
