![]() ![]() ![]() My health is 10x worse now than it was even before I’d lost all the weight. All the weight I’d lost, every bit, was regained. I literally had an elderly man at the YMCA telling me I was his inspiration. I was ashamed of myself, mostly because so many people looked up to me for inspiration. But later came, and I found myself completely lost to everything that I had worked so incredibly hard for. “I can get back on track again later,” I’d tell myself. Pounds started adding up, once again – slowly – but I ignored it. I fell into my older eating habits, quite easily. I was working at the YMCA, and I found myself busy with other stuff. My routine was demolished as my husband was working and no longer attended exercise class with me. I wasn’t finding much change in weight after a while. I eventually ended up teaching cross-training and working at the YMCA. I was receiving attention from left and right. – on my way to those 100s again, and almost there!

At the same time, I began a cross-training program at the YMCA and developed better eating habits. I gained a tremendous amount of education in nutrition, fitness, and overall wellness. In 2013, and I’m not sure which came first, actually, while I was attending Liberty University, I had the privilege of being educated in Health and Wellness Coaching. This continued, and even added, after having my three beautiful, peculiar treasures – my children. Fast forward a little to my late teens, dating, and eventually marriage, I tried several “diets.” I almost got back into the 100s, but never quite saw that on the scale. I faintly remember being in 9th grade and weighing about 180lbs, and increasing to over 200lbs by about age 16. Before heading to school for the day, my breakfasts consisted of buttered biscuits and a “big cookie” from Hardees. At the beginning of my seventh-grade year…puberty happened (cue the dramatic music, dah, dah, dah!). ![]()
