CHANGE YOUR LIFE NOW!
I have been on the longest journey ever battling my
weight my whole life! As a young child going to diet camps every
summer only to regain weight year after year. Never making any commitment
or fully understanding what a "LIFESTYLE CHAGE" really
meant! It’s so frustrating to keep giving to the Diet Industry
year after year with NO SUCCESS it makes it too easy to do nothing
and just give up!
My journey began on April 15, 2007 and continues today
and everyday for the REST of my life!
I have lost 125 lbs… 25 lbs more to go! With
no surgery... (Which btw, I am not against!) I actually wanted to
have the Lap Band and think it is an amazing tool! I just chose
a different route after weighing my options. I felt as if I had
done it all and failed so what options did I have left? Reality
TV, Lap Band Surgery, Gastric Bypass, or take on the FIGHT of my
life at home that I had failed so many times before with! The road
was long and NOT easy! How could it be... if you like me have been
struggling your whole life! As they say, "you didn't get there
overnight!" and the truth is what- ever road you pick... you
can't lose it overnight! It is a process! I knew I needed
to change my life and find a REAL starting point I felt completely
helpless, powerless, and unmotivated!
I settled with the option to FIGHT FOR MY LIFE! I
wanted my life back! I wanted to OWN it and CONTROL it! I was out
of control for too long! Losing was NOT an option I no longer wanted
to choose to live my life as a beautiful face, taking care of everyone
else and forgetting that I had an existence too! I was 100%
READY and I knew I wanted to be more! Healthy, an active mother,
and the BEST participant I could be for my own LIFE!
I struggle everyday to WIN my personal battle to control
my weight. Even when I have a BAD day I try to keep myself in that
day, in the moment, stay real, and do my best to pick myself back
up, and RESTART! Always remembering I am only one person, I am human,
I make mistakes, and I can CHANGE! We all as humans have the
POWER to choose a different path! You chose everyday to make the
time or not make the time! Excuses only get you as far as your next
dress size! Being at the bottom with you is the worst feeling in
the world! Not only do you feel bad about yourself but you wear
it every-day for the world to see! The harsh reality of NOT being
able to get REAL with where you are NOW is one of the most challenging
hurdles to overcome!
There was a moment in 2003 when I looked down at the
scale and it said 210 lbs! I knew I had the opportunity to NOT let
it get to where it took me in 2007! However, in 2003 I remember
clearly stepping on the scale reading the number and saying in my
head, “Forget it, why bother!” I decided let it go,
I let myself go never looking back or stepping on that scale again
until 2007. When I finally looked at where I really was …
I was so depressed. I asked myself so many questions, “How
did I get here again, why me, now what, do I just let it get worse,
or do I find a way to turn this around now?” |
