50 Pounds Down at 72 — But This Isn’t About the Scale

I went to the Japanese garden thinking I was simply going to take a few videos and enjoy a beautiful fall day. I didn’t expect it to remind me of something I think many of us forget, especially as we get older and life gets busy with our health, our families, caregiving, and all the changes that come with this season of life. After losing 50 pounds at 72 while on Zepbound, so much has changed for me. The food noise has quieted, I feel better, and I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve accomplished. But that quiet has also made me realize that I don’t always have to fill the space with something else. Sometimes it’s okay to simply slow down, look around, and be present in the life I have right now. That little trip to the garden reminded me why I called my book Finding Grace in Every Season of Life. Grace isn’t only found in the big moments. Sometimes it’s waiting for us in the quiet ones, if we slow down long enough to notice. 📖 My book, Finding Grace in Every Season of Life, is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/44E5aZf 📔 Grace Changes Everything Journal: https://amzn.to/4gahUOl If you’re new here, I’m Paula.
