Yes. Beth. Well, Elizabeth actually, but you probably know me as Brook Stephens. You see, for the almost 26 years I’ve been in radio, I’ve always had a stage name. Kind of like a pen name for an author. For me, it started as the cool thing radio DJ’s do. Then, when I was given … More Have We Met? Hi, I’m Beth & I have Adult ADHD
If you had told me last year, that at the end of my 42nd year on this planet, I would be learning more about myself than I did when I was a teenager, I would have laughed. I would have thought, “Yeah, right” as I popped another daily dose of anxiety/depression medication and a handful of Advil.
If you had told me last year that I would be on a weight loss journey that would have some extreme valleys NOT laced with negative attempts at motivation..like “great job, but….you need to lose weight faster” “this is good..but, you need to do better” “yeah but, you’re not committed enough”..I would have quietly laughed as I sat in my chair watching the world rush by me for another day.

This is where my crazy idea … More Are You Ready for GOAL-vember?

Today, I’ve cried 5 times. 7 if you count the two “almost cry” moments. Today, I weigh the lowest I’ve weighed in 2 years; 349.2 lbs. I’ve officially lost 17.2 lbs and 10 overall body inches. This is amazing right? Absolutely.
So, why am I crying then … More Weight Loss – The Emotional Side of Success
My house is a wreck. And yes, more than it’s usual “wreck”.
In the middle of Charlie and I’s super tired, overly-emotional squabble about me not helping clean up enough and he not asking nice enough, I opened a cupboard and screamed, “what the hell is this?!” … More Dirty Dishes and a Shit Ton of Applesauce.
This is a humiliating experience for a 42 year old mom. A mom that not only works in the public eye, but that is surrounded by people who are so much more fit than she. That mom is me.
