When I was in high school, I was 110 pounds, 5'1" and had 38DD. It gave me excruciating back pains and daily migraines. I never exercised or wore clothes that actually fit me because of how self conscious I was. When I was 16, I had plastic surgery for a reduction. It completely changed my life! For one, I got down to 104 pounds. Also, I wore clothes that showed how beautiful I felt and didn't feel uncomfortable at all! I was able to do this up until I became pregnant for my daughter when I was 22. Since then, I have been living day to day tired and not loving my body. Right before I became pregnant, I was 108 pounds
and wore a size 3-5 jeans. During my pregnancy, I got to 142 pounds (34 pounds gained). I also had a c section, which made it more difficult to get back to my original shape. I know that this may not seem like a big thing to many, but to someone who has always been small it was very sad. With my job I was so tired, working 60-70 hours a week, I couldn't get myself to try anymore. I got more down about myself and finally hit rock bottom when I found out I was 126 pounds. I cried when I looked at myself and didn't like my own fiance seeing me naked. On top of that, when my fiance and I got together we both agreed that neither of us could get fat. Shallow huh? But that is the person we fell in love with, and we both felt it'd be unfair to change so drastically later on. He told me that he understood that pregnancy changes your body and knew it'd take time. Well almost 3 years later, I still hadn't gotten it. He even admitted he felt less sexually attracted to me. It hurt, but we are totally honest with each other. Also, I felt so tired that I couldn't play with my daughter for more than a couple minutes, which is even worse! This is when I found my personal coach and was invited to a challenge group. During this group we were there for each other to support and keep ourselves accountable in a safe and discreet group. In this group, I worked out almost daily for 21 days. I could feel myself getting stronger and could tell by my clothes I was getting smaller, but I only lost a couple pounds.
Then I used Shakeology and lost 4 pounds in less than a week! In a whole month, 6 pounds may not be big to others but it was HUGE for me! Besides, its not just the pounds you lose. It was the energy I gained, new friends I found, winning lifestyle and tips I now have, and feeling better about myself most of all! After my first month, I became a coach myself because I want to help others feel as great and beautiful/handsome as I do! Since then, I work daily to build strong relationships with people and try to help them find the same happiness in the lifestyle that I did!
