My name is Mayci Byers, and I am 30 years old. Following the loss of my son, I neglected my well-being; I was consuming excessive amounts of unhealthy food and gradually lost every aspect of the person I once was. I became overweight, perpetually fatigued, and began to experience health issues that I had not encountered previously. One day, I realized that a change was necessary. I started to prioritize my mental health, and over time, I began to work on strengthening the rest of myself. Gradually, I became stronger, started to lose weight, and discovered a new version of myself. Although I still have a journey ahead, I will never cease my efforts to become the person I envision within. I understand that life can be incredibly challenging, and it is not always easy to rise again.
