Eight weeks ago today, I made a decision to change my life for the better. I was stuck in a rut, drinking too much, eating unhealthy foods, living a sedentary lifestyle. All of this meant that at 5’5”, I was weighing in at a dangerously unhealthy 305 pounds.

I was desperately unhapppy with my worsening health and my inability to squeeze into any chair that had armrests. I couldn’t walk up one flight of stairs without heaving for breath, worrying that I was about to have a heart attack. I couldn’t buy the clothes that I wanted, I had no self esteem, no self respect and no self love.

Enough was enough. I decided that the pain of continuing my life on this course was worse than the pain of living without alcohol, unhealthy foods and no exercise. It was easier to make healthy choices and to exercise than it was to carry on living the way I was.

Eight weeks on, I have lost almost 20 pounds and I won’t stop until I have reached my goal, healthy weight. I’m 100% confident of that.

How?

Well I’m hoping I can show you by sharing this journey as I continue down a healthier path to success, health and fitness.

Stay tuned,

Jen
