I'm a wife and mom to two pretty amazing people! They bless my life in so many ways. They are my biggest fans, support and encouragement. My husband and I have been married for almost 23 years and have a beautiful daughter. We live a busy lifestyle between work, school, sports and all the other stuff we do. God is the center of our home and we strive to love as he loved us!
For most of my adult life I've struggled with my weight, trying everything out there to get the weight off with not a lot of success. I used to try and hide myself from any type of photograph because I was so embarrassed and didn't like what I saw. One day I was looking back at photos and noticed that I wasn't in very many of them and that I had taken myself out of all the fun photo memories that my daughter would have. So feeling completely uncomfortable I started getting in more photos, trying to always be in the back, or telling them from the waist up only. I hated them but told myself to deal with it. My family always told me I was beautiful and that I was way to hard on myself. But I just couldn't let myself off the hook for what I had done to myself. I was ashamed that I had pretty much let myself go. I tried to just except that I was just a big girl but that didn't sit well with me. I didn't want to believe that I was supposed to be that size. Back in February I started a program that has completely turned it around for me. I have lost so far 46 pounds out of my total 80 that I want to lose. I can't say enough good things about this plan. I have so much more energy and feel amazing. I can't believe how easy it is. It's been 14 plus years since I have been close to this weight. I'm pretty sure I was a borderline diabetic if not one and also had issues breathing at night since my husband had to wake me at times because he said I wasn't breathing right. Since getting the weight off I haven't had any of those issues. I am truly thankful for this plan and what it is teaching me on how to live a healthy lifestyle. I love that my family is also learning with me. Really it's about optimal health and the weight loss is just one of the benefits. That's why I became a health coach for this program. I want to help others get healthy and see similar results as I have. America is overweight or worse obese, we totally look at food the wrong way and want portions that are unhealthy. Our children are suffering from our bad choices and habits. It's time to take back the control and do something positive for ourselves and our family.
