Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Finding Team Beachbody and P90X has changed my life and my body, it has saved my life. I can honestly say I have learned so much and want to help others as well, Here is my story. Enjoy.

I used to wake up every morning at 4:00 AM, to exercise for 2 hours. I was near death and hospitalization, although I refused to admit it or realize it. During most of my life, I have suffered from compulsive exercise, the eating disorder Anorexia.


Have you ever woken up and could not walk or get out of your bed? This happened to me. When my life had become all about exercise, I did it as often as I could. When I missed an exercise session, I became very moody and angry and I wouldn’t eat. When I did eat, the smallest slice of cucumber would make me feel insane guilt and I would have to exercise it off. If I couldn’t exercise it off, I would starve myself even more.
During the times of intense exercise and malnutrition, my
grades suffered, my body suffered, and I lost a lot of my friends. Most days I wouldn’t stay at school for a full day. I had to call it quits at half a day. Because I was so tired and worn out, I had problems concentrating, and I couldn’t do school work.



The peak of this pain came close to the end of my junior year. I went to the doctors at an astonishing 5’10” 115 pounds and he told me that my heart was going to fail if something serious didn’t happen to help me.I was crushed. The very next day after he told me this, I literally collapsed on my bedroom floor and could not move. No one was home to help me, and I had gotten bruised from falling on the carpet. Once my mom found out, she said that I better fix this problem or she was going to send me to an eating disorder institution. She made it very clear that I was going to beat the disease myself or I was going to be sent off. She told me that you could see my rib cage, my back was pathetic, my cheeks were sunk in so far you could see every bone in my face, and I had dropped from 200 to 115 pounds. I had absolutely no muscle. My little brothers were almost as strong as I was. Sometimes, I even had to be carried or have my

things carried for me because I was so frail. The image I

put to it is a walking bag of bones. My skin had also

Turned yellow, my body had a very disturbing odor that it would put out; simply my peers said it was because my body was rotting. I didn’t believe them at the time but now that I can look back at this, I really see what they saw in pictures. Most days it was hard to walk, from my car to my house and anywhere, it was so taxing on my body to really get up out of bed. I was basically a muscle less person and my heart was dying.

During the summer after my junior year, my mom and I and decided it was time to fix this problem. At first we did all we could, we read all the books that were available to me about eating disorders, general health, and exercise. Slowly, I started to get my life back to normal. After years of this disorder and the painful things it had done to me, I fought it and won. I was at the top of the mountain again. As a result of the two disorders I had, I gained so much strength, knowledge and fighting spirit, that I now know never to give up or give in. I can honestly say without my personal strength and the strength of the people around me, I would not be here today. I would have died. It took all the strength and perseverance I had to succeed.
This disease has brought hardships on me and my life. I have struggled with it all my life, and continue to do so. It is a Terrible disease and no one should have to face it, and I also hope that if some day someone comes along with this problem or one related to it. I can help them deal with this and get through it, and get past it my 5rtor point them in the right direction. I believe that this past experience has helped me grow as a person, and grow more compassionate to other people, and their own disease, or issues. This is one of my most memorable events; it has had a great deal of impact on my life today.

The biggest part of this turn around was the finding of Team beachbody and my purchase of the p90x program, it taught me to eat and to eat right. Without this program and its knowledge, power, Tonys quirky attitude. I can honestly say I would not be alive today. I am very happy to know that I have found a lifelong solution and I hope my story has inspired you to make a change.
