Finally opening up about the divorce.
Just having this recorded and knowing I'm releasing it feels like such a weight off my chest. I truly should have done this sooner instead of staying silent to try to protect someone who didn't show me respect. That's why as late as it is, this had to be made in order for me to peacefully move on.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to listen. If you are going through a similar situation, I hope you feel understood and inspired.

It's been awhile, but I'm finally back at it! I figured now would be a good time to touch on a few things that I've wanted to make videos about, including touching on my health issues, the divorce, my new relationship with Dustin, and moving to Ohio. I had filmed other videos where I went into quite a bit of detail about the ending of my marriage and the divorce, but I have chosen not to share ...

    Sometimes I sleep too much rather than the other way around. It's like my body is sleeping for energy to make up for not eating. I also tend to have a reasonable amount of energy in the morning and by the end of the afternoon I feel like death. I won't get into detail about what I do eat. You get it.

    There is also fatshaming on internet and appearanceshaming and making others rediculous about appearance and clothes and what they wear and there are also toxic infuences from magazines. An innocent comment can be enough. Making others feel bad to feel good about themselves because they are frustrated or undeveloped and immature childisch. Competition from a toxic environment. It is as if it is never good enough. Be good for your self. I hope people get inspiration.

    Thank you for sharing your story & strength. Your story is similar to my best friend Tresa's story. She was married for 15 years, he was a musician, cheated on her, denied divorcing her for the other woman. It absolutely broke her spirit. Sadly she never recovered and she ended her life in 2020. Thank you for continuing to be strong & working through your struggles & for sharing with the world.

    This was incredibly brave of you to post. I've followed your account for YEARS and always thought you were such a badass, and of course had no idea of what went on behind the veneer of social media. You're, like, this powerful and intimidatingly beautiful person and for outside observers it's perhaps impossible to think of you experiencing betrayal, and hopelessness, and all the things the rest of us experience on the regular. To hear you be so brutally honest and ACCOUNTABLE is just awe-inspiring. I'm so, so sorry for what happened to you. But thank you for sharing this. Your honesty is truly humbling and I'm going through similar things in my own relationship and I found what you said incredibly empowering and helped me immensely. Also, the way you say "veh-hi-cule" is super cute.

    I experienced something very similar in 2011 and even though I’m now married and happier than ever, I still get angry when I think about my ex sometimes. I’ve realized I’ll probably always be angry about what he did because it was objectively not okay. But that anger doesn’t occupy space in me the same way anymore. I don’t forgive him but I also just don’t really care anymore either because my life is better in every possible way. Many years of therapy also helped.

    Sweetheart, you are looking to Fill a void only Jesus can fill. Our problems will NEVER go away, but having Jesus helps you to deal with them better.....knowing we do not have to depend on our own strength makes all the difference! I feel your pain, only because I have walked in it (and still walking in it) I have come to accept that when I am weak I am strong. God shines through our weakness. Remember you will always have problems In this life but God came and conquered them just for you! Accept Jesus Christ as your savior Hun, you will never think the same way again.

    Take it from a veteran, the aspartame and sugar subs does effect you as you get older (40s) eating disorders altogether messes your whole mind up, the chemicals in your brain go whack and you become a mental mess, I have never had a normal relationship with a man. Get help and stay in counseling we are this way for a reason, something happened along the way to Hotwire our brains, if you do not reach out it will find a way to come back and take over.

    it's been so extremely hard for me to admit to myself that my eating disorder has shifted from anorexia to bulimia. back when I was "just restricting" i would get this fasting high and feel successful and proud and in control even though deep inside i was still miserable. now i'm just disgusted by myself, by the amounts of food i eat, by the constant smell of vomit, by the wreck my mind and my body have become. in a way, being bulimic feels like failing at both being anorexic and being healthy. it's this awful middle ground and it sucks and yet I'm too scared to give it up.

      i exactly feel the same and i know it’s horrible to say but i wish i could be anorexic again, even just anorexic, bulimia is hell of an addiction and it’s embarrassing to even admit i have an addiction related to the thing i supposedly hate (food)

    Hi Thankyou for addressing the pain issues. I can soo relate . I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome which sounds exactly like your symptoms so I had to completely stop being a physical person ( which was my sense of identity and happiness). It took me 6 months to realise I couldn’t be a yoga teacher any more cos the pain was so intense I had to have huge amounts of meds accupuncture osteo and tried absolutely everything. I am now having a Q L tear relapse and it means that I have to spend huge amounts of money and not be able to work. Luckily I own my own business but have difficulty finding staff with the same work ethic as me so I have to often step in and sacrifice myself ... I totally understand this disorder . I think we connected on IG at one point and I really appreciate your friendliness. Saturn was a hard task master last year and currently reminding us of our restrictions. I’m proud of you and proud of myself for how much growth 2019 has provided.. I actually have gratitude for the EDS but it is also my biggest teacher.. Much love xo

      You can recover fully. I was bulimic over 20 years. Fully recovered from all disordered thinking with food. You need to address the root issue with a good therapist. There is something going on mental/emotional/heart health that needs healing. It’s not about the food it’s about control. Call out to Jesus, ask Him for help. It’s no way to live. You can do this with help. Jesus loves you
