What does it take to make a real change? Everyday we restart the diet weight loss clock. We eat healthy, at times we deprive ourselves from the foods we love. We cry, we sacrifice and then we eat, we feel guilty. We pray, we promise to change. But we never do…

After gaining over 100 lbs. I knew that I had to make a decision. The options were clear, have weight loss surgery, or lose the weight naturally. Those were or are my choices, there is no magic pill, no quick fix that doesn’t come with long-term side effects, good or bad. Overall, I wanted to feel and look healthy. I am tired of being overweight and wearing ugly clothes that make me look and feel 20 years older than I am. Not to mention, that I would love to wear heels again.

This was my mindset, and I could not kick the junky, sweetie, fried food. It wasn’t until my back began to ache as though I 
was in a wrestling match and lost. I knew it was my weight, I have 2 herniated disc from a car accident that took place 13 years ago. The fact of the matter is, that I needed to get focused and so I did… Check back weekly for my progress and or feel free to join me.
