My Story actually started back when I was in grade school and before bullying became a national concern. I was heavy in grade school and middle school which made me very self conscious and that with coupled with a chaotic family life living with an alcoholic it was easy to turn to eating for comfort, hiding from the issues, the fights, the struggles. Fast forward to High School, we moved, the alcoholic was gone from our daily lives and I found myself in a place I was not familiar with, being thinner and the feeling of freedom to join groups, play sports with confidence and make many new friends. After high school a desk job and not caring what I ate plus partying and socializing in a different forum, and the clothes became tighter, again! Marriage and happiness, I didnt gain weight but I didnt find myself back in shape either, I was active, joined a gym, took classes but still didnt worry about how or what I was eating or drinking. Pregnancy, wow game changer, in some crazy way I could eat whatever I wanted and didnt gain much weight, and trust me I ATE A LOT!! That only last for about a year after my second son and the weight came back and followed by low self esteem and hating where I was the clothes didnt fit any longer and as I was heading into a sz 14, that was it for me, no longer and I said enough is enough. My journey with WW began and after 3 attempts I was finally able to lose 50 pounds, all through nutrition and barely any exercise which left my body sagging and out of shape. Hubby suggested we workout together as we watched the infomercial for probably the hardest workout I have ever done, Insanity which is why I wear the Tshirt so proudly in these photos, because I earned the results and the feeling of accomplishment and loving myself again, being confident again in my own skin. This took me to a whole new place in my life and I found the group of supportive women who were just like me, mom, wife, working, traveling and still trying to carve out time for me! I knew with all of my heart and being this was where God had intended me to be and I followed my heart, using my spiritual gift and guide and I am never looking back. I look forward to reaching out and connecting other women to this amazing life of empowerment, self esteem and having the most amazing people come into your life. My life has been forever changed and it helped me improve and become a better mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend than I could have ever been in the past. If you are looking for more, for change, for your inner strength and love for life, message me I would love to chat with you :)
