Gaining 20 Pounds Was The Best Thing That Could Have Happened to Me
Since I can remember, I’d constantly suffered from insecurity and lack of self worth.
It only worsened as I got older, and as a result, I used food as my comfort. ‘Fast, oily, creamy, saucy, and greasy” was what I used to say. “No water, no veggies. Please and TY”.
Despite my eating habits, I maintained a weight of 130 for years. So, I never saw a need to change. Until…
The year 2016. My body had different plans. In just 2 months I was up 20 lbs and later found out I was also pre-diabetic.
Struggling to squeeze my now size 12 body into my size 8 pants.
I tried so many different things.
– 1200 calorie diets
– Skipping meals
– Detox and cutting out carbs
I googled how to:
– Get abs in 2 days
– Drop 20 lbs ASAP
I did various home and YouTube workout videos, but still wasn’t seeing results.
I went to the gym 2x, but I was terrified of being judged.
The fear of being judged was real! Plus, I didn’t know how to work anything other than the treadmill.
After a year of trying to lose weight on my own, I finally sought out an online coach. I received at home workouts and a basic understanding of nutrition and training. I FINALLY started seeing results!
So, despite my fear, off to the gym I went. Terrified as ever, but ready to get this a** in gear! I had a plan now. And it was time to level up. I had to! I built confidence! The further I took my body, the less intimidated I was.
I far surpassed what I thought I could achieve. I wore a bikini and a crop top for the 1st time & was able to look in a full body mirror! I was confident, fit, strong, and curvy!
Being consistent and facing my fears reaped incredible rewards. I just had to be willing, patient, and consistent.
Fitness changed my life. It transformed my body, my mind, and my perspective of life. I was happy & healthy.
I started using my voice, going out, interacting with people, and holding healthy relationships.
This Is why I became a coach. To help others experience what it feels like to genuinely feel sexy & confident in their skin. Every woman deserves to.
