When I was growing up, I was able to eat anything I wanted and I was very skinny. By today's standards, I probably would have been considered anorexic. I ate, but only when I felt hungry and I was never very hungry. What I chose to eat my food choices were mostly junk food. Not a good start knowing how to eat well. But back then it didn't matter because no matter what I ate I never gained an When I was growing up, I was able to eat anything I wanted and I was very skinny. By today's standards, I probably would have been considered anorexic. I ate, but only when I felt hungry and I was never very hungry. What I chose to eat my food choices were mostly junk food. Not a good start knowing how to eat well. But back then it didn't matter because no matter what I ate I never gained an ounce.
I married my dear husband early in my twenties. We had three children in the first eight years of our marriage. I managed to lose all the weight the first time, kept 5 pounds the second time and the third left me with 25 extra pounds on my body. I remember when food began to really start tasting good, during my first pregnancy, and this started my new found fascination with food and flavors.
Now, my youngest child is 15 and I still have the extra weight attached. We have since adopted 5 young children who are between the ages of 6 and 9. While this has added some stress to ours lives it has also added lots more love and fun.
Being a mom of eight children has really geared up my exercise routine. I want to be healthier and stronger so I can raise these kids well and have loads of time for myself and my husband when all of them leave home. As I watch my parents age, I understand why being strong is so important. My active years will stretch much longer if I give myself the time and attention I deserve through diet and exercise now.

As an adult, I have wanted to be fit and healthy. But, I never really understood how to accomplish that goal. I always told myself that but really I didn't understand why losing a little weight was so hard. I continually put mental obstacles in my way. Add a little stress and it became easy to eat whatever I wanted and to justify it in my brain. For a person who had so much will power in the past, I really had not much left.
This is where Beachbody comes in. It has finally given me the boost I needed to accept responsibility for my own actions and to chose to loose weight and become stronger. I became inspired by others weight loss stories and realized that this could be me with some hard work. I found out about the Beachbody Coaching program and joined right away. The support online, the contests and tons of information are helping me to realize that it isn't so hard, once you conquer your mental insecurities and just go for it.
My story is only just beginning but I am excited. I can't wait to shed the extra weight and be strong. Who knows, I might be able to wear that bikini I have been hiding in my closet for a couple of years. That would be a really fine day in my life! A really proud moment for sure.
