My Journey:
I never thought I would be where I am today. Since I can remember, I was always the biggest girl in my classes. I wasn’t eating fast food; I was eating too much food. I had no idea about portion sizes and being active.
I was so unhappy with myself. As a I child I lay in bed and wished I was really just wearing a fat suit and that in the morning I would wake up and unzip it to be slim like all the other girls. I would cry to my parents and they tried everything to help me be happy and lose the weight. I went to several weight-loss centers, losing five to ten pounds at a time only to gain it back again because I was disappointed I hadn’t lost more.
This was the beginning of my yo-yo dieting. I continued to lose and gain weight over the next ten years but I never felt good about myself. I always wanted more. I realize now that I was doing it all wrong.
One day, I bought an Oxygen magazine because a lean and vibrant looking woman was reading one at the gym. I was introduced to Tosca Reno and The Eat-Clean Diet. Each month I would read her column and gain more insight into Eating Clean. As I was reading about the benefits, I was feeling them first hand. For the first time in my life my weight was steady at 150 pounds!
I have since become a personal trainer and a strength fitness instructor. I meet woman all the time that are living the story of the typical unhappy, overweight wife and mother. I share my knowledge of The Eat-Clean Diet® and encourage them to follow it. I bought several copies of Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean Cookbook as a Christmas gift for my clients, friends and family to motivate them to continue Eating Clean. In the last few months, several of my clients have told me that I have inspired them to eat healthy and take working out seriously. It is such an incredible feeling that I am able to motivate people because of the positive changes I have made in my life.
In all, I am most proud of my new daughter who is now 14 months old. I followed The Eat-Clean Diet® throughout my whole pregnancy and was able to keep my weight gain very healthy. I’m raising my baby, Bella, to Eat Clean too. She loves to eat her green vegetables, fruits and grains!
Through this process I have learned that I am not perfect but I am doing my very best. I am in the greatest shape of my life at a lean 135 pounds and I’m now training for my first physique competition!
Thank you for teaching me that The Eat-Clean Diet® isn’t really a diet – it’s a lifestyle!
