The things I felt.
The limitations I had.
The names I was called.
The "you have such a pretty face, if only you'd lose weight".
The looks I got.
The hiding from the camera.
The chairs I broke.
The roller coaster I was asked to get off of.
The need to be invisible.
The hiding to eat when I got sad or stressed.
The realization I didn't know who I was any more.
I will never ever forget the deep depression where I wanted to take my own life.
~~There are things that are good that I'll never forget too :)
My best friend being there & loving me like a sister.
The part of my family that supported me.
The feel of butterflies in my stomach & my toes tingling when my husband & I first kissed.
Feeling life flutter in my belly & getting to hold each of my children.
Finally realizing that I needed to love myself.
Taking that first step toward what I wanted most.....
Losing my first 10 pounds & it dawning on me that this time it will be different.
Seeing my wrist & collar bones for the first time.
Losing my first 100 pounds & knowing if I made it this far no one could stop me!
Deciding to help others while helping myself by becoming a personal trainer specializing in the absolute beginner.
Hitting 200 pounds lost! <3 <3

We all have struggles but it's how you turn things around that matter most.
The joy is truly in the journey.
Remember that <3
