Hey, I’m Isa!

My holistic weight loss journey started back in 2018. I realized I didn’t like any part of my life; not my job, how I handled my relationships, my body, my emotions, my eating habits, my sedentary lifestyle and so much more. I was very depressed, lacked self love in every part of my life and didn’t know how to start over or if I could.

 

I had battled with obesity, an eating disorder, emotional eating and food addiction since I was born and had tried all sorts of diets, nutritionists, doctors, fitness programs; everything and anything I could find. I knew I needed something different because this way of doing things hadn’t ever worked, and I was so tired of feeling terrible physically, mentally and emotionally.

 

On July 2018, shortly after my 30th birthday I was lucky and blessed to go to a magical place called Structure House in North Carolina where I learned more about myself in 4 weeks than I ever knew about myself in 30 years. I worked on myself from the inside out for a little over 2 years, and then in October 2020, I had the Gastric Sleeve surgery.

 

It is the best and hardest thing I’ve ever done for myself, but I have loved every minute of it and keep learning about myself every single day.

 

I lost a little over 115 lbs in 11.5 months and then went through my first round of skin removal surgery on September 2021 and my second one on October 2022, and I am down 130 lbs now. 

 

I am now happy, in shape, healthy, in a beautiful and healthy relationship, trying new and different adventures, with a job I love and thriving.

 

After this huge lifestyle change, I decided I wanted to support many other women going through this process, which can be hard and lonely sometimes. Having weight loss surgery is a great tool that we all need to learn how to use to not only have a healthy body but having that healthy body through a healthy heart, soul and spirit.
