A few years ago I didn’t want to leave my room. I was ashamed not just of my weight, but because I thought I would never be successful. If I couldn’t get my weight under control, then how was I supposed to succeed at anything?
But then I got diagnosed with Insulin Resistance and I was put on the same medicine my dad was taking for his diabetes for years. And that’s when something clicked in my brain: this is more than about looks. This is not about vanity. This is about my health.
So I decided that my health was going to be my top priority. I learned what my body needs for fuel and how to responds to everything I put in it. I learned that it’s not about restricting calories but about adding nutrition. I lost 100 lbs and I gained my life. I shed more than just weight. I shed the disease that was going to eat me alive. My doctor took me off my pills and declared me healthy and fit and I never looked back.
I became so passionate about healthy living that I switched my major to nutrition and got certified as a personal trainer, health coach, and weight management expert.
And last week, I was a part of a fitness based pageant. Not only that, but I won the biggest achievement award ‘Miss I did it’!!
With hard work and the right motivation I promise you everything is possible. A few years ago I didn’t think I would ever be ok leaving my room and my house, let alone get on stage in front of hundreds of people to show off my accomplishment that I’m so proud of!
Dream big, work hard, and become your dreams!
