About me

Hey everyone! My name is Hayley. I currently live in the state of Iowa. I do work full time, but when I can get a day off I love spending time with my husband.

My Story

This isn’t my life sorry, just the story of why I’m here. No, I don’t mean why I’m here on Earth. What I do mean is why I’ve decided to start writing. As long as I can remember I’ve been overweight. Was always the fat kid and usually the fat friend. This has led me, like many I’m sure, to be overly concerned with what others may think of me. Not wanting to go eat with friends in fear of appearing to eat too much. Not wanting to go hiking in fear of needing breaks they didn’t and having my friends judge me for it. Of course, throughout the years I’ve tried the diets and the workouts. Did it lead to weightless? Of course it did, but it wasn’t weight that stayed off. It was the same endless cycle of feeling like I wasn’t progressing fast enough and then giving up. Why does that lead me here? To help me have a mindset change. I no longer want to be focused on the number on the scale as much as how I actually feel. I want to be more active and try things that as a plus size person I’ve been scared to try out. I hope that sharing my adventures here with you will not only keep me more active but may even encourage someone else to try something they’ve been too scared to do.
