Real Talk
Old Kelsey - Was 50 pounds over weight, struggled to put on socks, got winded from tying her shoe laces, HID from pictures, avoided friends, self sabotaged relationships because she thought she was not WORTHY of love or friendship AND she felt as though her life was meaningless.
---------------------------------- HERE is my reality ---
I am sharing this with SO many nervous butterflies in my stomach BUT I know that I need to share this with all of you! I want EACH person to know that regardless of where you are in life YOU are not ever alone.
My journey started with the realization that I was not happy. TRUTH is I said words like "You are ugly." "You are fat" "No one will ever love you" "You have no friends - they just pretend to like you because they have to." AND "I HATE YOU."
Now ---- I wasn't saying those to any one BUT that is what I TOLD myself every single day. I BEAT myself up to the point that I became this harsh, negative, emotional, angry person. I LASHED out at every person that was near to me and pushed them away.
ONE day I heard about this app called LOSE IT -- It is a food tracking app that is just like fitness pal. I thought ---HECK I will track my food and eat better that will work. My parents started using it too. QUICKLY my parents lost weight BUT not me. I COULD NOT stop the binge eating and I COULD NOT control myself late at night when I got the munchies. On a regular day I ate pasta 3 times, a bag of candy, 2L of pop, and ate these chocolate fudge cakes that equaled to 2000 calories on their own. I FINALLY thought --- Kelsey you are just mean to be big and feel crappy.
At this time my health was plummeting and I was CONSTANTLY going to emergency with severe pain. I could feel myself spinning out of control.

My life turned around one day when a friend bluntly messaged me and suggested I go see the FREE counselor at the university and just begin to focus on being happier. I WAS so far into SELF HATE I thought --- what the heck THIS QUACK won't be able to help me BUT I will give it a shot.
I will never forget the moment I walked into this young ladies office. She was so kind and so caring. I instantly felt more relaxed and OKAY with my reality within minutes of listening to her talk. Now she never told me what was wrong with my life or how to fix it --- BUT she listened, she believed in me, and she showed me HOW To trust my gut. HOW to BELIEVE in myself again.
I LEFT my third session with the WILL to try life again.
Now you probably are thinking this CRAZY --- no one can do this and just change their life. BUT the truth is -- this girl Sarah didn't change me --- SHE showed me that I COULD take control of my life again. AND that is what I did!
____________________________
1 month after this I started on my journey which led to me losing 50+ pounds, finding my passion for life, helped me to HEAL many relationships AND lead me to my new found passion -- coaching.
BELIEVING in myself and knowing that MY LIFE could be whatever I WANTED it to be was so powerful. It allowed me to find fitness and clean eating. It gave me the WILL to want to follow through and TRUST in the process of eating clean and working out so I COULD feel better.
My transformation is SOOOOO much more than dropping some pant sizes --- it was knowing that I could go hangout with friends, I could go hiking on vacations with family, I could feel GOOD in my wedding dress, I could do up my shoes and jump up and run after my dog, AND it gave me the HOPE that I would be able to have a family AND be there in an active way as they grow up.
FINDING me and FINDING beachbody has TRANSFORMED my life in every aspect.
SO when I say ----WHY not you too? I say this with the biggest heart --- I BELIEVE in you. I BELIEVE you deserve to feel good in every way possible. YOU are worthy of so much more!
