A little bit about me...
I had been overweight and unhappy most of my life and battling with the scale constantly. As a matter of fact, there were only short periods of time where I was considered of “average” weight and “within normal numbers”, according to doctors. My life consisted of many fad diets, pills and countless failed attempts to lose weight.
At 27 years of age, I was a mess and miserable. I had stopped weighing myself at 282lbs because I couldn’t take seeing the numbers continue to rise, despite everything I was “trying” to do to keep them down; my blood pressure was rising to extremely scary and dangerous numbers even when I wasn’t agitated or overexerting myself; my job was draining the life out of me and I felt frustrated professionally; and finally, to top it all off, I was in a marriage I no longer wanted. The truth is, I was falling apart. I felt I was having a “mid-life crisis” in my twenties yet everyone around me thought I was Super Woman.
I remember thinking I didn’t want to live the rest of my life that way. My days and nights consisted of trying to think of solutions as to how I was going to get myself out of that mess before I died of a massive heart attack. Then one day I simply had enough. I filled myself with courage and told my then husband I wanted to lose weight and that I needed his support. To make a very long story short, I didn’t get it. I was furious, sad, disappointed and hurt, to say the least. I thought “after all I have done for you and your children, the least I deserve is your support”.
Well, guess what? It was the slap in the face I needed to get MY life together. I realized I was on my own and that I had to do this for me if I wanted to save my life. I began eating more (yes, you read that correctly), sleeping more, drinking more water, exercising at home and walking my dog for longer periods of time.
In a few months, I had lost 40lbs. and had become certified as a Hypnotherapist. I was feeling pretty good. My energy levels were high and my confidence was boosting. Which also meant I was ready to drop anything and everyone that was keeping me from my happiness. I moved out of our home and filed for divorce a few months later.
During that time, I joined my first ever gym and later, bootcamp, where I accomplished a total of 115lbs of fat loss. I began dating and things with my career were going great. I had never experienced such happiness. So much so, I decided I wanted to help others transform the way I did- from the inside out. I had all the excuses in the book but I did it and so can you.
If you are tired of being unhappy, putting yourself and your needs last constantly, feel stagnant in any or all areas of your life, are overweight, have low self-esteem and/or no self-confidence, please contact me. No one knows your struggle better than I do. I was there! But I also know where you can go and that you, my dear, are UNSTOPPABLE if you just get out of your way.
