Welcome to Recovering Carbie…the story of my journey to find a better me! My name is Mandi. I’m a 40 year old, insanely busy working Mom of 3. Throughout my entire life I have struggled with weight/body issues. In July of 2016, I set out to change all that. I embarked on a lifestyle change to prove to myself that a busy Mom with major food issues could become healthy. It hasn’t always been easy, but after a lifetime of failing at diets I am now 3 years in and approximately 160 pounds lighter.  I have gained my life back.  My hope with this blog is to inspire you to do the same. YOU CAN DO THIS. I know, because I am living it, breathing it, DOING IT.

Here you will find the story of my journey, inspiration to start your own journey, ideas to keep you going, and my trials and errors.

I primarily blog on Facebook, so please join me at @recoveringcarbie.  Also follow along on Instagram!
