Finding Me Again

Finding me. Seems like an easy enough statement to make or an easy goal to accomplish.

Since early 2020, I had been in a downward spiral and finding myself in constant darkness I couldn’t seem to shake. I was hit with failures, losses, and a broken foot that halted my running life.

Fast forward to July of 2025, I had gained the weight I once lost back, a once vibrant woman who loved capturing moments with photos would avoid the camera or must edit them to not feel the anxiety of feeling judgment from others. After seeing some pictures from a family vacation, I decided something needed to change. I refused to buy new scrubs for work in a larger size.

I found Emerge scrolling through social media and came across a nurse influencer who had been on her journey as well. That was the sign I needed to find myself again. I was hesitant that my boyfriend would see my weight loss as cheating (he is a bodybuilder), but that fear was irrational. He simply said “I just want you to be happy. I love you regardless.”

Having PCOS, weight loss is so hard, and I felt like this would be a tool to help make lifestyle changes that will last.

Simple put: I made the right choice.

I no longer have that constant food noise that seemed to never stop talking! I don’t have the cravings for high fat foods that need a follow up of a sweet dessert after I’ve had this huge meal. I have been able to portion my food and eat to the point of satisfaction. Not only has my boyfriend been excited for my weight loss since starting the injections, my 15-year-old son said with excitement “ok I see you!! Great job!!” I took my very first injection in July 2025, and as of November 2025, I have lost 30 pounds.

Emerge has changed my life. It’s that simple. I am seeing my smile in photos again and finding me.
