A few years back I feel into a really bad down spot and stayed there for a long time. When I thought I’d hit rock bottom, I fell even further after my dad died in a house fire and my mom abandoned my youngest brother to foster care. I have C-PTSD, panic disorder, anxiety and depression. At some point 6ish years ago I recognized the spiral I was in and chose to make changes where I could, as I could. Fast forward 6ish years between these pictures. I finished my BBA and fought the corporate ladder to grow my career. I fixed my credit, bought my first vehicle, and developed a plan for buying a house by the end of 2023. In November 2023 I finally admitted to myself that my weight, physical and mental health were out of control and I started my mission to fix it. I lost 65 pounds, I have a clean bill of health, I started #hiking and increasing my time #outside. My mental health is improving after a lot of reading, CBT, somatic therapy, physical therapy, self reflection, and becoming more #active. I have an unofficial therapy poodle (who needs better training, but we’re doing our best). 💛 I’ve decided to make my story public because I want to show others it’s possible. I’m just a regular person, a wife & mom in her mid 30s with kids and a full-time career. I’m a firm believer that more is always possible if you’ve got enough grit. I’m interested in growing a #community of like minded people here on X & it’s my newest mission to do so. I believe we are ALL able to achieve #greatness but we must all start somewhere. Follow me on my #journey of #healing, #hope, and #love. I’m a good human and I hope others can get with the good vibes and be part of my #tribe. Love, light, and blessings to all. 💛☀️ #BecksOutside #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #Improving #Weightloss #WeightlossJourney #SmashingGoals #OutdoorAdventures #OutdoorEnthusiast

"But how did this person get in here?" 😳 We start as kids full of dreams… then life slowly turns everything upside down. One day you wake up and can’t tell left from right, up from down. You just settle—same job, same routine, trapped forever. 💔 If you wanna break free… you’re gonna have to face the truth you’ve been avoiding your whole life. This hit me hard today. If you’re feeling lost or stuck right now, just reply “ME” — I wanna know I’m not alone. 👇 Quote tweet if this spoke to you.

Sitting with the forest listening to the night. 🌓

My kids found a butterfly lying still in a parking lot in town today. I put my hand next to it and it grabbed my finger. I found spot with flowers, shade, and water and set it free. After a few minutes it flew off. 💛🥰

It’s my first time seeing this plant. I wanted to share because it’s pretty awesome. It’s called Dutchman's breeches. 😄

First time on the AT since Helene. We’re so happy spring is coming. 💛 I spent most of the weekend cleaning up the yard and planting flowers. 😊

🥸😂😂

Happy Sunday afternoon, friends. 💛 Finally sitting down to chill for a little bit. I hope everyone has had a good weekend so far.

Check out the Milty’s World Podcast! Easily accessible for viewing on X at 3pm ET today. 😊💛

I have been sick for a few days. I made an herbal power tea after going to Urgent Care and being denied medical assistance as the provider said, “it’s a random virus.” I tend to get respiratory illnesses in the winter that hang on for months. I shared this with the provider and my desire to ask for help before it gets a lot worse. I was still denied care. This tea has elderberry, honey, ginger, lemon juice, echinacea, cinnamon, and mullein. I drank this yesterday and it took me from laying in the bed and unable to move to about 60% better. I made another jar this morning and I’m hopeful it will continue to support my immune system as it fights off this bug. 💛 Stay well, friends.

Today was needed. The health and wellbeing of our family is our highest priority. Our kids call Grayson Highlands the “pony park.” There are wild ponies roaming free and sometimes you see them along the main path.

Happy weekend, friends! 💛☀️

I ditched fast food about 1.5 years ago. I realized I was harming my body with the chemicals and processed sugars being added to food. It was difficult in the beginning and I had a very hard time learning how love foods I’d previously rejected. I lost a lot of weight, reduced my cholesterol, and found a new love for vegetables. I try to eat minimally processed as much as possible and use my foods to get the nutrients my body needs versus turning to supplements. I was all about supplements for a while. I still eat meat, but I feel so much better since I’ve moved to eating colorful foods every day. Forgive my half eaten salad. I’m impulse sharing because it’s so good. 😅 Baby spinach, carrots, feta, strawberries, blueberries, raisins, walnuts, pecans, balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

I don’t repost often but this is worth it. Keep your head up friends and keep pushing forward. 💛

All done. I’m so happy with this! @MiltysWorldX

Trust the process and have patience. Making good progress on the Milty’s World painting. 🥰 Not finished yet. I’m feeling pretty happy with it so far. I get wild ideas sometimes & jump in with both feet. 😅

Rise & shine, friends. Happy Sunday! 🥰

Art project…loading! 😁 Can’t wait.

I didn’t have Legos growing up. My kids have a gazillion Legos. 😅 This build was created with my 5yo daughter. No instructions needed & there are no rules. Just have fun and use your imagination. 🥰 Happy Friday night, friends.
