for health,
fitness, and creating healthy foods in the kitchen! :)
Like many

weight and insecurities.

I was always the "bigger" friend, all the way from
elementary school
through high school. For most of
my life I tried convincing myself that I was
just
*big boned* and it came from genetics so there
was nothing I could do.

My first year of college I definitely took part in the
"freshman 15"!
By the summer going into my
sophomore year, I was the heaviest I had EVER
been
and started to fall into a place of depression.
I tried cutting my calories to

Within a month, 7 pounds were gone, my energy levels were through the roof, and my body
figure has taken a complete 180 degree transformation! I was working

I began to eat to fuel my body, learned to LOVE exercise and
the way it made me feel, and
most of all was given a chance to help others
overcome their lifelong defeat of diets, weight
gain, and binge eating.

My body isn't perfect, I don't have rock hard abs, and lord knows I will happily rock my
cellulite! I was created perfect in the image of the one who
created me and I am grateful
everyday for that!
