Em See Emily

My husband is making me do this......

My husband is really good at getting me to do things out of my comfort zone. 
This blog being one of them, (how could you say no to that hunky face) he told me before he left for work that if I don't have a blog post by 11:00pm tonight he is going to wake me up when he gets home and make me, so I figured I should just get it done haha. 




Anyways, I am M C Emily (I will go into more detail about my rapper name later). I am a wife, momma to my two fur babies and I am on the road to getting back to my "fighting" weight. I am LDS and I love sports (GO UTES) and food.

Besides my husband pushing me to start this blog I thought this could be a good way for me to get my thoughts and feelings out and possibly find more ladies out there that have they same thoughts or going through the same things as me. I am hoping to be your go to blog when it comes to the "real" side of things, especially losing weight. Because lets be honest it's not fun and eating cute donuts and cupcakes is wayyy more fun, until you can't fit into your cute jeans anymore. The struggle is real people.

Speaking of struggle.....and overcoming them........ I have gained some post-marriage weight, its like the freshman 15 but worse. Since the weight gain I have pretty much hated myself, I dodge all mirrors (especially the full body ones) and photos are now scary, don't even get me started on sneak attack selfies, you know when you turn the camera around on your phone and think "do I always have that many chins." The weight has affected more than just that, I'm not comfortable in social situations anymore and I avoid it like the plague. I feel like all people see when they are around me is how much weight I have gained. My husband hates it when I talk bad about myself and he is always trying to be positive and tell me how beautiful I am and he loves me no matter what (I know I hit the jackpot in the husband department.) Hopefully through this blog I can get my feelings out and realize that I am still the same person I was before I gained this weight and I should love myself no matter what!


These are the most recent photos of myself. These were painful to take but I did it. One step at a time y'all.                P.S. doughnuts from The Dough Bar are pretty amazing, and they are healthy- they have protein! 



Well I have made my deadline and I will be able to sleep soundly tonight. Thanks for reading and feel free to leave any positive comments. Lets keep it classy y'all. xoxo

  4. Emily, you are still as beautiful as ever!!! But I have learned from my daughters that if you don't feel good about yourself; it really doesn't matter what anyone else says. So you go girl! I know you can lose whatever weight you feel you need too. And when you succeed - we'll be there to celebrate with you. But please remember you are a daughter of God and he doesn't make mistakes. So look in the mirror and love who HE created. Because He does and along with your husband, so do a lot of us!!! ��❤️

  9. I love this more than you know! We all have our insecurities....mine also being my weight but more than that is getting old...not really getting old but looking old! I agree with you...it is much more fun to eat pretty cupcakes, wear comfy clothes and throw my hair up in a pony tail and go make up free. Just always remember that you are beautiful inside and out and dance like no one is watching!��..You rocked this blog! Love ya! Your chunky and old mother in law, Paula....lol

  11. You are beautiful! Having lost 60 lbs and gained it back plus 20 in the last few years I understand the struggle to love yourself when you are fluffier than you would like to be. I hope you will learn to be as kind to yourself as you are to everyone around you. And hey, quit depriving the world of your company! You are way too fun! Love you friend!

  13. You the OG MC Emily...like for reals yo! I am so so proud and happy for you. I can feel like getting the truth out there with your own struggles seriously sets a person free. I am a BIG believer of this after 5 years of therapy! Everyone has their "own" therapy too... you just have to find the one that works for you. So many women can relate to you in so many ways. You are right the struggle is "real". And I would agree with Jeanie...you look beautiful Emily... you really do. Maybe this blogging will also start to rid you of negative self talk...it's poison and I struggle with it too. Okay sexy mama I am gonna be following you further!
