MY STORY

 

From the point I began dieting at age 14 to age 34 I was on a roller coaster of loose weight, gain weight, loose weight gain weight. I had my first baby at age 24. I was over 200lbs and I knew I wanted to be fit for my baby and future children. I knew I wanted to also be able to have candy in the house and not be compelled to eat every last piece. 

I set out at age 24 to figure out how to do it! How to be fit as a mom and woman at every stage. I made lots of mistakes. Sure I lost weight but I also over exercised and under ate then turned around and over ate. I was either off or on. After having my third child I was exercising so much and not eating enough. I no longer had enough milk for her at 4 months old. Sure, I made my goal weight but at what costs?

After baby 5 I was done. I was in a size 6 but so much of my mental energy was tied up in what and when and how much I was going to eat. What work out I was going to do. Weekends were full of bingy behavior only to "buckle down" and try to make it right come Monday. Then come friday do it all over again. I was so tired of thinking about food!

I was a certified personal trainer I had figured out how to loose weigh but how to make it easy was missing. 

Then came into my life Thought and Emotion Management.  I learned how to find thoughts that were making me so miserable. How to deconstruct them and then create thoughts and beliefs that served me in being fit but also with it being EASY and desirable.
