I know what it feels like to be overweight and depressed. I know how it feels to get dressed to go meet friends look in the mirror hate the way you look and make up an excuse for why you can’t go out. I know how it is to look at a picture of yourself and not recognize the person in the picture.

I know what it’s like to make a decision to change, and put out effort, get frustrated and give up – and open that pint of ice cream. That I know, too many times to count.

But I also know the empowerment that comes with deciding again and working through the set backs. I understand what it takes to dig deeper, shake off the bad days because I’m working for healthier happier life. I know how important it is to have support, to have someone or people cheering for you to pick it up again tomorrow when you have a bad day. And there is nothing like sharing your success with those people when you make your goals

Thank you Beachbody and my Coach friends!

And now onto maintenance… because the journey is never over. And I know the best way to stay on top of my fitness, is by helping others… who’s next?
