Hi, I’m Opal
Hi, I’m Opal

Hi, I’m Opal

I'm a mom to three boys, a wife to my best-friend of 13 years. I've been writing my feelings since I was able to hold a pencil & force my daddy to buy me endless composition notebooks. I write, I vlog & create wellness, weight release, & content.

“I feel best when I stick to, adhere, keep, commit to the goals I set for myself.” 🔑 And that’s how I’ve been approaching it. I don’t remember exactly what date I started, might have been April 1st. After an beautiful holiday in Orlando..where I willfully gained even more weight back on top of the weight I already gained back over the last two tumultuous years. But I’m here, and it’s going. Slower than ever but I’m so focused on the process that if and when progress looks slow, I can keep my head high and keep going… I’ve lost some weight and that makes me proud but, I’m more proud of my commitment to the shit I said I was going to do, eat better 90% of the time & get moving however tht may be. Re-start babe, you got this. ❤️ #blackwomenworkouttoo #blackwomenlosingweight #blackwomenwhoblog

Happy Mother’s Day, 💐 I hope the ones in my life know that all it takes to make me happy on this day, is a little bit of silence, some sage & chilly glass of wine 😂. But if you must adorne with gifts, chocolates 🍫 and food, I will happily take it. 😆😆 Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers who sacrifice themselves on a daily basis to show up for little saviors. And that sacrifice looks different for every mother. There is not one way to be a mom. But if you’re giving the very best you can, even if that means taking a step back, for the sanity of you, and well being of them, you’ve still acted in maternal instinct. 💐 I see you mamas. When I first became a mom, I lost sense of myself. I had no idea that being a good mommy started with being good to mommy first, (ourselves). Overtime the overwhelm of minimizing my needs to maximize theirs took its toll on all of us and mommy became unrecognizable in more ways than one. But I’m living proof, it gets better with time. I popped mine out one after the other, and I’ve been blessed with 3 boys that teach me something different about myself every single day. Not only do they teach me something different they encourage me to be better to myself, so that I may be better to them. Happy Mothers Day to every single care giver out there, giving themselves for the benefit of someone else. 💐💕💐💐

I was looking at old pics of myself from a year or so ago. Of course, I am 25 pounds lighter in those pictures. And I think, “damn, I look good, & why did i hate how I looked back then?” I guess, if I was 20 pounds heavier in the future, I’d look back at pics of myself today and wonder why I hated this current body. Hmm, what is the point? Of self hate? It’s probably never ever really as bad as we think. But when we’ve conditioned ourselves over decades to believe we cannot and will not ever be good enough, it doesn’t matter how fit we become, rich we become, established we think we are, self hate will find it’s way in. Ion wanna look at myself at all stages of my life and be remorseful that I hated that part of me for so long because this new stage is worst than the last. Fuck that. I’m allowing myself to feel worthy, abundant, desired right now and ain’t Nothing else is required to feel this way. 🚨 New #weightlossvlog is live, link in bio. 💓🌸

Make a plan. And stick to it. I’ve been off track for so long, truth is, I don’t even know where to start. I’ve started but can’t tell. I won’t keep waiting for perfect. for this to stop or this other thing to start. It has to be now. The longer I wait, the more I gain, and my track record in mind, tells my confidence levels, to hang it up. I refuse. Myself. I refuse myself because it’s me that keeps me stuck. It’s me that keeps me going backward..when the plan ahead is as clear as day. Best laid plans.. I wrote mine out today. I typed it up today. My plan, my goals.. my grocery list & everything I decided needs changing. And even with all of that. There is still always the slightest possibility, this is still not enough. But, as long as the other side of that coin exists, and there is the faintest hope of this time might be the time, I start again. 🌸🧚🏾‍♀️ #weightlossjourney2022 #weightlossjourney #loseweightforgood #bodyneutral
