It's difficult to explain all of the different emotions I feel when looking at these two photos beside one another.
On one hand, I feel sad, thinking about the anxiety, self-loathing, and WAR with her body that the girl on the left was enduring. Celiac disease. IBS. Constant anxiety. Binge drinking. Low self-esteem. Poor digestion. STRESS. Fatigue beyond explanation. Moody. Wishful. LOST.
On the other hand, I see this comparison as a sort of VICTORY to attest just how far the girl on the right has come in such a short amount of time. STRONG. Confident. HAPPY. Goal-oriented. Regular digestion. Blood sugar in control. Educated. PASSIONATE. Purposeful. On a JOURNEY to self-betterment and absolutely thrilled by it daily.
Today marks my one year anniversary as a Beachbody coach and I could not be more sure of my path or purpose. I look at these two pictures and reflect on how much my physical, mental, emotional and financial well-being has changed in the last year. IT'S INSANE. I hardly recognize the girl on the left. I feel like a new person altogether. And I'm learning to love her more and more each day.
Everyone deserves to feel this way. YOU deserve to feel this way! To wake up each morning, look in the mirror and say, "Today is going to be AMAZING because I am going to MAKE it amazing!" To have control over your health. Over your pant size. Over your confidence levels. Over your bank account. Over your LIFE.
I have set a goal in 2016 to help 10 WOMEN who feel like I did in the first picture, to get started on their own health and wellness journeys and to help inspire others along the way. I want to pay forward this opportunity that took me from then to NOW.
My team, Boomerang Wellness, is growing, and we are looking for humble, kind, passionate people just like YOU to join our team and make a difference.
Are you ready to finally love yourself again? I sure was. And geeze louise, am I ever glad I took that leap of faith.
