Tldr: Started a health journey in 2023 got facial paralysis. Started a health journey again in 2024 got lung cancer and had 2/3 of lung removed. Not giving up no matter what. Lost 20 lbs and a pants size I haven't been in over 10 years. So proud of myself. Wanted to inspire others who keep hitting hurdles.
I have had quite a few rough years.
March 2023 - I woke up with half of my face not working thinking I had a stroke. I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy. They said I would be normal in 6 months or less. It's been 2 years and I still have a paralyzed face where I can no longer smile. 20% of people never recover.
December 2024 - I was diagnosed with a rare lung cancer that only covers about 2% of all lung cancers. The first option is always surgery so I had 2/3 of my lung taken out and I’m still in recovery from that.
Now for the great part. Through all of this struggle I have tried to start a health journey. Before my paralysis I was eating better BOOM it hits. Then again I was revamping my health journey and BOOM cancer. It’s like everything in life has tried to stop me and make me give up on myself.
I have continued on. I can’t workout right now because of my recovery but through building a better relationship with food alone I have dropped a pants size. It's been over 10 years since I've been able to go down a pants size. I have lost 20 lbs I never want back. I am so damn proud of myself.
I felt like I wanted to share this not only for my own accountability but for those who hit hurdle after hurdle trying to reclaim their own health. You can do it. I’m a PCOS and alopecia girly as well.
Life can’t stop me! I hope if you needed this you got this message right in time.
