Some real talk for you…
While I’m smiling in both these pictures…the picture on the left represents a girl in the beginning stages of struggles with YoYo dieting and extreme issues with self confidence!
It was my junior year of college and I’d put on the “freshman 15” plus some probably! I was a good student, got mostly As and B’s, was involved in clubs and activities but like many college students, I drank too much and used partying as a way to feel better about myself.
I graduated college and went on to pursue a career in marketing in advertising but didn’t feel super confident because the partying continued! On the outside it seemed as though all was well and good but I realize now, the drinking was a way for me to be more social and feel comfortable in my own skin!
Over the years, I’d go on crash diets and lose quite a bit of weight, but it would always come back with a few friends. And what I know now is I wasn’t changing on the inside. Change has to come from within to be sustainable!
Since becoming a coach, I’ve been reading a ton of self improvement books and have built an amazing fitness coaching business that I’m so proud of! I’m more confident now than I’ve ever been and I truly have Beachbody to thank for that! They’ve provided the tools I’ve used to lose 40+ pounds of baby weight and have a daily vital behavior (that every coach who wants to be successful needs to do) of reading or listening to self improvement. Without these things I don’t think I’d be where I am now!
Am I exactly where I want to be…no. Do I still struggle with confidence from time to time…sure! But I’m always working on myself to be better than I was the day before! We all should be!
If you’re in the same place I was and are ready to take a step forward on your journey to becoming more confident in your own skin, just contact me HERE and lets chat!
