Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Well, noone can say I haven't been taking my time.

When I joined back in March of "08" I lost 10 lbs and have managed to keep it off. Thank God! However, managing to keep those 10 lbs. off is minut in comparison to the personal growth I've experienced.

With one foot in front of the other, step by step, we grow as humans, but there are those times when we take those unforgettable leaps that change our life forever. Joining TeamBeachBody was one of those leaps for me. It started the process of change that I needed so desperately.

I had been in a funk for several years after my life was turned upside down by two hurricanes then shortly after my Mom died. As much as I didn't want to admit it, depression had me in its grip. I didn't care how I looked. I didn't care what I ate. I just didn't care anymore. Thankfully though, the passing of time, some great therapy and a strong spiritual connection helped me through that foggy tunnel.

Now, it's time to put the physical part of this humpty dumpty back together again. I really want my sexy back! An I don't mean blonde bombshell sexy, I mean that feeling of confidence you get when your comfortable in your own skin! That feeling is what is driving me now! I look forward to slipping back into my size 10's! Stay tuned.

"If at first you don't succeed, try try again." This quote rings true for me whether I like it or not. lol lol I did make it back into my size 10's for six months, but when my sister pasted away, my depression came back with a vengeance and I dove head first into the refrigerator where I was comfortable.

When I'm sad I eat and eat and eat. It took me a long time to admit that and now that I have...the healing has begun. Emotional eating is an addiction just like any other and it takes time to get control of it. I'm making better choices now though and I'm beginning again one more time much more aware. Stay tuned.....
