Although I have always been an active person (sports through grade & high school, gym rat, workout DVD collector..), I never was content with my body. I struggled with anorexia for a few years at the end of high school/beginning of college. I slowly began to recover and gain more weight. As the next few years passed, I continued to gain weight, but was still very insecure about my body. Along with this insecurity, I suffered with panic attacks (which now I know was, and am being treated for, Generalized Anxiety Disorder). I only did "safe" workouts (elliptical for 30 min, pilates DVD in my dorm, etc) in case a panic attack struck. I never really challenged myself.
My junior year of college, I ordered Turbo Jam. I started lifting weights and toning up, and started to feel better about myself. With much support from family and friends, I was able to manage my anxiety.
Now, almost a year after graduating college, I ordered ChaLEAN Extreme, a truly difficult and challenging (mentally and physically) program. I am seeing AND feeling changes in my body already!! Also, I am more mentally sound - my workouts allow me to rid myself of any anxieties. I feel like I can do anything now - anything is possible! My ongoing battle with food seems to have ended; I naturally want to eat healthy and eat enough so that I have fuel for my workouts.
I am absolutely happy with myself now and am so excited to start each ChaLEAN workout; also, I'm excited to take on other physical endeavors; I ran the St. Jude Half Marathon this winter (2009) & finished the whole thing, without any training - ChaLEAN will make you mentally tough, too:) I hope that my story can help others get motivated to get fit; and, I want others to love themselves and to treat their bodies healthily and with respect.
