Hi, I'm a 28 yr old mother of two amazing kids, I haven't been heavy my whole life because I use to be in every single sport there was offered in school plus I did competitive gymnastics. My last year of high school, something horrible happened to me and from then on I've been putting on the pounds. I went from being incredibly active to doing absolutely nothing and on top of that I became addicted to food. My food addiction still plays a roll in every second of my life but I no longer let it control me!
A few months ago, when I was the most depressed and heaviest I have ever been (240lbs) - I'm only 5ft tall - my dear friend, who is about 120lbs heavier then I am, finally convinced me to join her Zumba class. That was Feb 3rd, 2014. She had started about 5 months prior and had dropped about 30lbs and was getting this incredible confidence. I dragged my *kitten* there and guess what??? I've been hooked ever since! I've never felt more sexy, confident, able and accomplished. Hell, the staff at the gym all know me by name. That's for sure something I NEVER EVER thought I would say!
That was a life changer for me. I had always been a happy go get 'er kind of girl but when she helped me, I was at my lowest. I haven't needed an anti-depressant ever since and I feel like I'm doing pretty darn well for myself.
I've been going hard at this now for almost 3 months and I'm almost 30lbs down! I log every day, my diary is open, I workout every day, I like and comment as much as I can and I would like to invite you to join me on my journey because I would also love to join you on your journeys.
***Please add me and tell me what makes YOU feel sexy
