You may go to a coach expecting to see a fitness model type of physique....well, I'm sorry to say that you won't get that from me! I have saggy skin, some fat (that is the bane of my existence!) and even some stretch marks! although, none of these are my favorite attributes, I wouldn't trade any of it for the world! (OK maybe the fat LOL).
I have struggled most of my adult life with my weight, binge eating, some depression, as well as the dreaded menopause and have just recently been diagnosed with ADHD....which explians a lot!
I started on a fitness journey probably close to 10 years ago. In that time I have lost over 100lbs and have managed to keep most of it off. I'ts still a struggle that I workat daily but I will never give up on myself!
I struggled to make myself go to the gym and then I would occasionally get hyper obsessed and almost need to move my bed in there because I was there so much! I went through so many different diets and did some pretty crazy things all in the name of looking skinny.....BAD IDEA!! Skinny is not where it's at! You want to be fit, feel good and in turn when you feel good about yourself you look better in the mirror and like what you see. You begin to exude confidence!
As I said, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD which explains not only a lot about my habits in the past but also the binge eating that I used to struggle with. I am starting to get this all under control and I am starting to feel much better because of it! I am writing this so that you all know that you are not alone! We all have struggles and some of us are ok with sharing those struggles where others are not. Up until just recently, I thought that I should just keep all of my issues to myself, nobody wants to hear about this! But then I had a bit of an "aha" moment and thought, what if I start a blog? Maybe people will read it....maybe not. But I do know that writing things down has always been very therapeutic for me and if I can help just one person come to terms what they may or amy not be going through, I'm here for it!
I just wanted to let you all know....I GET IT!!!! Let's get you all on a path of self discovery and self love. I was once told that you can't love someone else until you love yourself and I now subscribe to this (my hubby and kids are excluded because I have always loved them more than life itself). If you want some assistance from just a regular woman that happens to also be a health and wellness coach that has been there, done that and struggle through a lot of the same issues as almost every other person in the world, I'm here for you! Hit me up for some personal training or join some of my classes. I promise to do my best to keep you on track and engaged so that you start hitting those goals that you have in mind! I'm here for each and every one of you :)
And remember....your body hears everything your mind says!
