I have battled my weight my entire life. I spent everyday on a diet or thinking about a diet. Through out my entire adult life I yo yo dieted. I would literly find myself 40lbs overweight disgusted w/ myself and go on some sort of crash diet to get it off. This happened over & over again. I spent about 5 yrs. (between the age of 27-32) maintaining my weight through exercise. However I didnt really deal w/ the emotional side of over eating so even though I was at a healthy weight I was not eating right and did not have the emotional support for the long haul. Then about 12 yrs ago my family moved from California to Texas. This was a difficult transition time for all of us especially our teenage son. I stopped my daily workouts and kind of gave up. Then to make matters worse I began to smoke, I guess another way to distract myself from life. I tried to make excuses and tell myself I could quit at anytime I was not addicted. I was wrong.
So how did I end up here? I joined TeamBeachBody 5 months ago. A friend (my coach) had joined a few months before & was doing p90x. I was amazed at his success thus far. He knew I was struggling w/ my weight & encouraged me to join as well. I was hesitant because p90x looked way out of my league. I joined anyway and am SO HAPPY I did.
I had no idea signing up for this that there was going to be an incredible support system to help keep me focused & provide encouragement along the way.
Because of a new focus for a healthy lifestyle I managed to quit smoking about 6 weeks ago. I had no idea how much the smoking was holding me back. In addition to that I have been able to deal w/emotions & triggers that lead me to overeat. I can definately say that my transformation has started from the inside, which is usually were most of us get stuck.
I have to admit that I have not embraced the p90x program & had I not had this awesome support system I would have internalized that as failure. I recently ordered a Turbo Jam Elite Fat Burning system & am looking forward to it very much. In the interem I am walking & jogging & staying focused w/ the help of my TeamBeachBody community. I am so looking forward to sharing my transformation story in the very near future.
