My health and weight has always been priority focus. Between becoming a new mom myself, my mom having spinal surgery and learning to walk again, I didn't realized the toll of stepping up to the responsibility would demand of me which caused my weight gain uo to 220 pounds.

I remember being so embarrassed and ashamed of how I looked. I hated looking in the mirror. I disappeared and hid from the world. No one should ever beat themselves up in the manner that I mentally and emotionally punished myself! Eventually, I realized I had to stop making excuses and take back control of my health and fitness as I help to educate others that may have fallen victim to obesity and depression. I know GOD has a bigger purpose for me and this testimony would help others to make a lifestyle change.

I started a journal to brain dump all of the emotional baggage I picked up while punishing myself. As a result, I forgave myself and helped others not to go through what I've experienced. The ideal look when it comes to being fit is not skinny.
