Hey I’m Taubreena
In 2023 I set out to get my body back after reaching my highest weight of 294 pounds. I knew I had to change my mind, patterns, and bad habits that were causing me to self sabotage along with the number on the scale. With the help of a program called BodySlims, I was able to lose 117 pounds and finally felt within reach of my goal which felt good but also scary.
For the first time in years I felt seen and it scared me.
My weight had worked as a barrier to keep me safe from abuse and allowed me to exist under the radar. Although I had been working on changing my patterns and behaviors I realized there was a missing piece.
I had not healed that trauma from years ago.
I told myself I was safe but no amount of visualizations, mantras, or positive thinking could cure me from these deep rooted fears I had around being at my goal weight and shape. I had done therapy years prior and it really helped me through some rough moments in my life, but for this I needed a different approach. I was trying to keep pushing forward with my weight loss but my fears were overpowering me.
I decided to join this group called Woo Women’s Club that I saw on IG run by Brooke. Through this program over the course of 8 weeks I was able to jump start my healing journey. I worked to heal myself from the trauma and abuse that I’ve experienced through childhood up until now. This blog is to share everything I have learned about how to transform your life and to become the best version of yourself.
I don’t have all the answers. Taking the course did not heal everything, I am still learning and growing each day.
What I have learned is how to better approach transformation in your life. I have learned how to with weight loss it is 80% what you eat and 20% fitness as is commonly shared, but it is 100% mental. If your mental health is sick, that has to be nurtured first before you can make any long lasting change.
Currently I regained 40 pounds over a few months which was the safe weight my mind felt invisible again at. I hope you will join me on this healing journey to lose this 40 pounds again plus more to get to my goal. I hope for this blog to serve as a safe space to share insights on how you can reach your goals by healing your mind first.
