Gotta start somewhere.
Even if it means RESTARTING.
Even if it means slow progress, and no matter how hard it seems, it means NOT giving up!
In 2011 I lost 50 pounds.
In 2013 I lost another 23 pounds, making my weightloss over 70 pounds with diet, exercise and awesome accountability! Sounds all great and dandy, but something happened in me and it SCARED the heck out of me!
_________
It seemed that I forgot where I had been and I forgot the struggle of being obese. I became judmental toward others that weren't ready to lose weight. I found myself becoming annoyed, frustrated, and upset toward people that wanted my help yet weren't ready to put in the work that was easy to do but is also easy NOT to do. I NEEDED some serious HUMILITY and didn't know at the time what had happened to get me to that point.
_________
In 2014, I quit.
I stopped exercising and I stopped watching what I ate. I gained weight back. I attempted getting back on track on my own without the tools or accountability. That didn't work. I tried blaming other people and other sources, and wondered where I had gone wrong. I played the victim. It took me almost 4 years to realize it wasn't anyone else.
It was ME.
I needed to swallow my pride and admit that I am NO better than anyone else. Do I regret giving up? Kinda. But I realized I needed to experience it to gain my humility back. I learned that I have NO right to judge and I have NO place in thinking I know people and their intentions.

In 2018, I swallowed that difficult pill. I admit I was wrong. I needed that experience to learn the greatest lesson of humility I have ever learned. I have several friends that have restarted with me and they are afraid to send me their before pics for accountability. To that, I say don't be afraid! You gotta start somewhere and I am NOT lying when I say I HAVE BEEN THERE. TWICE. And this time I have the accountability, experience, knowledge AND heart to stick to it and help thousands of people! Are YOU one of them? I'd love to help when you are ready ♡♡♡
