"For nearly 30 years I lived with an undiagnosed fat disorder. Every doctor I saw weighed me. Every doctor I saw mentioned my growing #weight. None of them diagnosed my #lipedema." Inspried by the @washingtonpost article over the weekend. sturdywoman.com/2022/02/22/ste…

Of her 140lb #WeightLoss, fellow #lipedema lady Jessica says, "I also lost a person who had no idea how to love herself. I lost being lost. I lost the fear. I lost the intimidation. I lost the shame." *Mic Drop* She gets it 💕 #NonScaleVictory #SelfLove lippylapbandlife.wordpress.com/2022/02/13/a-t…

"...sitting there on my own bathroom floor… that transformed woman was terrified of facing the ghost of her pre-#lipedema self." #MondayMotivation #DontLookBack sturdywoman.com/2022/02/14/eve…

"Your unique, gorgeous, magic spirit will shine through strongest when you feel good in your clothes. A great outfit can also do wonders to repair your relationship with your body." #OutfitOfTheDay #OOTD #lipedema sturdywoman.com/2022/02/11/how…

So true!! Those belts kill me every time!

I love how quickly my body responds to #fasting when I'm already living the clean #keto and #lchf life. My #lipedema legs have never felt so good!

"Ain't nothing cooler than the wrong moves when you do them to the right song." #MondayMotivation #Confidence #KeepGoing sturdywoman.com/2022/02/07/i-l…

Ready to take on #MondayMorning with black coffee and @redmondrealsalt! Excited to kick off a month of alternate day #fasting to support my lipedema.

"My body *is me* and the past year I have been on a journey to reconcile the years of abuse I waged on her. Part of that has been reminding myself that my body and I are a 'we' not a 'me' and a 'you'..." #MondayMotivation #Lipedema #SelfLove sturdywoman.com/2022/01/31/som…
