Why I Became a Coach

     I have struggled with my weight for years but it got worse after the birth of my son. I ballooned to 255 pounds and I was probably bigger but I wouldn't step on a scale out of fear at that point. I remember going to the doctor and him looking at me in disgust and said " you really need to lose weigh." Of course I didn't I went even more into a dark hole. I stayed in the home for years. I only went out when necessary and when I did I would still hide. I would wear clothes that would assure I wasn't noticed. I would go places at odd hours because I didn't want people to see me. I just wanted to disappear.

     This went on for years and then after some health scares I decided enough was enough so I started exercising and changed my diet. I attribute my success to the fact that I was college student so I had a lot of time to dedicate to working out. I did not have to cook for myself because I was served in the dining hall. I just had to be sure to make smart decisions. I lost a total of fifty pounds and I felt so good about myself. The problem is it didn't last very long.

      Once I graduated I got a full-time job, was in a relationship, being a mother, and all of life's other challenges and the old habits crept in. In one years time all the weight came back. I went up to 236 lbs and I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe I allowed this to happen again. I mean didn't I learn from my past behaviors. Well, apparently not because here I am again.

      This time around I have a happy family and I am trying to get right for the future. I love my son so much and I would never want to leave him prematurely. I made the decision to take my life back one day at a time and that is what I am doing. I joined on as a coach because as I change my life I want to encourage others to do the same. I mean come on we deserve this. We deserve the life we want to live. It is time we take time out for us before we run out of time.

     I may not have lost a ton of weight yet or perfected a clean eating diet but what I do have is passion for this. My passion is to help others and I know I can provide a supportive environment in order for us to succeed. Don't count me out now because I haven't finished it's during the journey that you build character. So sign up today I would love to have you on my team.
