One hot summer Florida day, my husband and I were enjoying Busch Gardens. Our fun came to a screeching halt as the roller coaster operator had to ask me to get off the ride. The safety harness would not fit over my curvaceous body. And I don’t mean curvaceous in a sexy kind of way. I was just plain ole FAT TO THE MAX! I wish I could say that at that moment I had an epiphany, but it took a series of several unfortunate events for the blinders to come off my eyes. Later that same year, I made several attempts to get my health on the right track, but to no avail found my self eating more and more junk food. At my heaviest weight I would yo-yo between 290 and 295 pounds. Shortly before meeting Kevin I was down to 286 pounds and remember thinking that I was looking like hot stuff! Looking back now, I can say what in the world was I thinking? Kevin has pushed me to levels I knew I had deep within me, but just needed that extra push to get there! His techniques are cutting edge and simply put plain ole effective! I am half way to my goal now weighing 234 pounds and can’t wait to share with you my after picture! If your feeling discouraged or like you can’t do this, let me reassure you that YOU CAN DO THIS and YOU MUST! A wise lady recently told me, “ I am not where I ought to be, thank goodness I am not where I used to be, but I am ok cause I’m on my way!” I will leave you with this…never give up, keep focused, have fun, laugh hard, make one choice at a time, sweating is good, change sometimes hurts, if you think your giving it your all dig a little deeper and give some more, and remember YOU ARE WORTH BEING HEALTHY! I will meet you at the finish line…
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
