Highest WT known- Oct 2019 235lbs @5'3"

Where we come from shapes how we handle future situations. For me, life has been a struggle. I suppressed what I needed to take care of others. Taking that power back has been an interesting path.

Hi I'm Dazey, a novice YouTuber (Channel-DAZEY's Healing Journey) that has been documenting my weight loss journey. Since 2022, I've been healing Binge Eating Disorder, and Complex PTSD. Currently 31yrs, I have 25 years of trauma. I have an extensive history of alcoholism and drug abuse and have been sober since March 5th, 2018. When I became a stay at home mom, the time alone(with kids) settled trauma responses to the surface, as a force to be reckoned with. Therapy (EMDR) has be productive since I'm no longer in a toxic environment, healing has really begun. Since I quit emotional drinking,I had developed this strong cycle of emotional eating (I use the workbook, "The Glow Approach by Dr Lyn Shroryer") When I started Atkins as a teenager, I developed disordered eating.

In 2009, I became a USABoxer, boxing with my brother, and it became a passion I didn't expect. I stopped boxing in 2019, after the birth of my second son. I developed A LOT of health concerns (obesity, hypothyroidism, pre diabetic, 2herniated discs and degenerative spinal stenosis, knee osteoarthritis)
