Two years ago I was 202 lbs. I was so insecure, depressed, unhappy, angry. My inner critic told me that I wasn’t worthy of anything and I believed it. When my desire to change started, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was just sitting on my couch holding my newbord and started crying. I couldn’t stop, yet I avoided it for months. Society made me feel like I couldn’t let anyone know I was hurting or weak. I was my son’s primary caregiver, I didn’t have time to focus attention on myself because he needed it all. I was just so unhappy with the place that I was in, mentally and physically. Everything seemed way too overwhelming, I couldn’t find my groove, and I was running out of patience. I finally hit a wall. I was tired of making excuses and putting off my goals so I made it a point to set my alarm at 4am to get up and workout every single day. I started changing my nutrition and found a sustainable lifestyle that met all my needs and got me lose weight happily and keep it off. I got my CPT and fitness nutrition certifications to really understand how I could better help myself, and eventually help others - especially moms who felt alone and lost just as I did. After 10 months of dedication and hard work, I was down 90lbs. There are still times where I lose myself and my confidence, but my life (just as anything else) is a work in progress! I'm here to motivate and prove women that when the desire is strong enough, they can truly do anything they put their heart and mind to. Everybody and every BODY is beautiful!
