My journey is about becoming someone I almost forgot I could be. For years, I put everyone and everything ahead of myself—raising a family, building a career, surviving difficult chapters, and simply trying to keep life moving. Somewhere along the way, taking care of me became the thing I always planned to do “later.”

 

Then I decided I was ready for something different.

 

I started at 287 pounds, but this journey quickly became about far more than a number on the scale. It became about keeping promises to myself, learning what my body needs, challenging the beliefs that kept me stuck, and discovering just how much my life could change when I finally made myself a priority.

 

I’m still in the middle of my story. I don't have a perfect transformation or all the answers—and that's exactly why I'm sharing it. The Appolonia

 

Project is about documenting the process as it actually happens: the weight loss, the victories, the frustrating days, the lessons, the experiments, and the life happening in between.

 

This isn't my “after.”

 

This is me becoming her.
