02/11/2023

Hello 👋 everyone welcome to my life journey of fitness and whatever is going on in the moment 😂 my name is Ivy Fox I am Married. I have three bonus kids and two kids with my husband so that’s 5 total.

My whole life I struggle with being over weight it started back in 5th grade. I became an emotional eater due to life changes. That had became a bad habit for me!

Couple years ago I lost 60 lbs and had my 2nd son I did great during pregnancy but gained postpartum depression bad and gained it back

Today say I lost almost 100 lbs but I gained 20 lbs from holidays so now back to work I go no fooling around for me considering since being overweight so long and stress didn’t help either has cause me to have health issues. Like fighting pseudotumor cerebri, (IIH) High blood pressure, depression and anxiety 😟 chronic migraines etc. It is very important for me to keep going.

Below on the left is a pic of me after I had my 2nd born son. And on the right is me a couple weeks ago!

Anything is possible all you got to do is believe in you!

Is making a change easy? No.
Is the change worth it? Yes

Remember only you can change yourself. No one can do it for you! You’re health is so important

I been having health problems since my first born son. I gained high blood pressure that put me on three meds.

Two years ago I had lost 60 lbs. I remember that feeling og finally able to breathe. Having more energy. Loving myself. And best part I was able to quit all 3 BP meds. Then I got pregnant 🤰 with my last born. I did great that whole pregnancy only gain 15 pounds. But ended up with preeclampsia. After I had my son I suffered with major postpartum and was put on Zoloft and I was back on BP meds. I gained back all my weight I lost before I conceived him. Which made my depression worse.

Today, I lost 50 LBS. I’m only taking one BP med when I was on two. But I gained a new health problem pseudotumer cerebri also known as IIH Idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Known as a false tumor. It’s a fluid sac in my head which my head is containing a lot of spinal fluids. Which cause pressure to the head causing headaches and vision problems. Dizziness daily nausea daily. It’s already flattened my predatory gland which know empty sella sac cause my fluids smashing it. This could cause me to go blind ore cause an aneurysm etc.

So you see I’m in the fight of my life. This is important and I can’t stop 🛑 I wish I listen to a lot of people while I was still young about losing weight to be healthy. Now I have many problems and I’m
Just in my mid 30s.

Just know you are worth it. It’s ok to put you first. Make that 1 hour of the day be all about you. It doesn’t make you selfish.

It’s been awhile since I been on here! Finding my ways in life. Plus being overly tired from having a baby. On top of dealing with my pseudotumer cerebri. Headaches every day some days I can handle them and some I can’t. And then my knee my goodness always knee problems. But I’m back to get my life healthy to beat this pseudotumer cerebri even though there’s no cure but it will help the pressure in my head from the spinal fluid build up.

Anyways I’m back and I just recently lost 47 PoUnds. And feeling great. I was in major depression when I had gained all my weight after having my son. It put me a funk like I wasn’t good enough. Nor did I feel important. I felt like friends I had weren’t there. Felt like I was a bother some to most. I have also have learned who I can trust and who is my real people this past year. I have lost some friends but, I have gain some really awesome people who are so positive and understanding.

Get ready for more post and updates. I’m ready to share to the world that people like me can make a difference in life ❤️❤️❤️ cheers 🥂

It’s incredible that 37 pounds of weight lost can make a difference in you’re life! The increase in energy the motivation and most importantly self love!!

Not going to lie after I had Braydon I was fighting really bad postpartum depression. I was super scared to be alone with him! I was scared I wasn’t going to give him the attention he needed and neglecting my other three! I also was terrified of Jakobi resenting me for having him. Also my health not as good what if I can’t get to him fast enough. My mind just won’t stop! I still have moment like those of how can I chase my infant with a bad knee. But it’s not as bad as it used to be. I used to cry myself to sleep every night have my break downs from fear and exhaustion.

I was also depressed because I had lost 60 pounds before I found out I was pregnant with Braydon. I was off of all meds blood pressure meds anxiety and depression meds topomax for migraines I was off I was doing amazing 🤩 dressing up again feeling beautiful inside and out! Then weight gain came back and yes my son is worth it all don’t get me wrong but after pregnancy I got left with weight gain, blood pressure again anxiety and depression and a new diagnosis Pseudotumer cerebri. I’m back on meds and I’m starting over but that’s ok 👌 I know I can do this again I got to keep my eye on the prize and keep going

Food is the biggest addiction and one of the most silent killing addiction out there.

So many of us resort to food to comfort our sadness and loneliness that we don’t realize the damage it does to our bodies not just by being overweight but the damages on the insides.

I wish when I was younger that I would of not taken on my depression to eating little Debbie snacks, icecream 🍦 sodas 🥤 you name it even though we were allowed one snack a day. That didn’t stop me I snuck into it and hid in my closet and or bathroom 🚽 As a kid you never understand why mommy and daddy no longer are together and why things can’t go back and why mommy has a new guy in the picture. As kid myself you just see it as a nightmare but you don’t realize it was a blessing.

I have been overweight since 5th grade. And I have been struggling with it since. Now I’m paying the price for picking up that food 🍲 addiction. Today I’m suffering with high blood pressure. Pseudotumer cerebri and my right knee that is gone I have no cartilage.

I have been working hard on myself since 2018 I had lost 60 pounds in 2019 and I got pregnant 🤰 with my last baby. Gained 15 pounds and then 40 from Zoloft. So now I’m fighting to lose weight and I’m fighting harder more now than ever since being diagnosed with this pseudotumer cerebri,

So below are my recent results and I’m so stinking proud and happy 😃 I have lost 30 pounds since January 1st!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!

Looking at motivation quotes helps me get the boost and the mental status to keep going. There are days like today I just want to quit because of the pain I’m in and how exhausted I am. But I’m fighting hard to keep me going for my goal. And that is to get my health better! I’m tired of these migraines I have had one everyday the last four days. It keeps trying to knock me down but I just keep getting up and fighting it cause I need to keep going for me. I need to keep going for my babies, for my family.

Just remember you are worth investing in yourself. You are worth putting you first.

It’s too hard! I just can’t do it anymore! Just one more day. I will start tomorrow.

All good intentions, but really bad habits to get into. Why not today. Why not get up and move around for 15 to 30 minutes. You had time
To sit there and scroll Facebook for 30 minutes and seen how fast that time flew by. Same thing can happen by just getting up to push play. I’m no saint here I’m not perfect I have my hard days heck some days it’s hard for me to walk. But I have to keep that eye on the prize specially now more than ever. My health, my family and my self is counting on me to not give up to keep going! My kids are my motivation because I don’t want them to be with out a mom. I don’t want to miss out on them growing up. Yes I have days it’s hard I’m not perfect but I’m not giving up. These results here are proof in the pudding I have lost 20 pounds and that is even taking a break over the holidays. To be honest I didn’t think I lost that much. But the pictures show it❤️

Here we go this is my beginning photo. I’m calling myself out. Over the holidays I slipped off the wagon using every excuse in the book and big excuse to not do my weight lost is my knee. I’m so frustrated with it. It’s painful 😣 I’m also frustrated cause I’m so tired 😓 and so drained and felt very very alone doing this so I like didn’t have the will power. Now I have this amazing kickass accountability partner who is an awesome friend I have on my side and now I know I have the will power to start again. So this is my confession and this is me calling myself out I’m not perfect I’m human and that’s ok 👌

So yes a year after surgery and my knee is still swelling up! And they said I will be back to normal hmmm nope 👎 I’m back where I was my knee is popping all the time. And the other day my knee gave out and I went down the the stair with Braydon in my arms. This is crazy 😜 I don’t have to do much and it’s swelling up again and so painful 😥

Today our little man turns 8 months old! Where is time going? He’s already crawling everywhere. Getting into everything. Standing up, sitting up, drinking from a sippy cup. He so bossy with his brother and sister. He wants to do everything they are doing. He’s everywhere in his walker. When he throws his fits he is so funny bouncing his butt to make himself go backwards. 😂 He is a very active baby he doesn’t like car rides and he is ver vocal but over all he loves to laugh and be tickled. He even shoves his foot 🦶 in you’re face to be tickled. Braydon loves making noises he sounds like a bird 🦅 and just the other day he made mom believe she ran over the kitten 🐈‍⬛😂 he’s so funny 😂 his personality is coming to life ❤️ I just love watching him grow. I hate the fact so many of you are missing out on him or the fact you haven’t gotten to meet him. He is a wonderful little boy with a personality already ❤️ my heart is truly fully blessed I am super grateful for all four of our beautiful babies. I sure can’t imagine life without them in it ❤️❤️
