One year after the birth of my first child a friend sent me a picture of me at her son’s birthday party and I was shocked…. ‘Is that really me?, I am not that big?….Am I?’ . But this WAS reality and it was a harsh yet truthful wake up call. I had always been a bigger girl and struggled through schooling with a little extra “chub” and this really affected my self esteem. But it wasn’t until after t
he birth of my son that the little bit of Chub turned into a lot of Chub. Not the ‘I will start on Monday’ kind of change but the ‘right now this has to stop’ kind. So another year later and 30kg down I was sent another photo by a friend and the same words reverberated in my head, with one tiny but significant change ‘Is that really me?, I am not that SMALL?…… Am I?’ And gee did it feel good. I still enjoyed my cake and I never ran marathons or went to the gym for 2 hours a day but I made smaller changes with my diet that were “forever changes” and I became more active. I attended personal training and continued it throughout and I am so glad I did. My trainer gave me the strength, the motivation and the support when I needed it. So 3 years later here I am, the weight is still off and I am loving my active lifestyle. After having another beautiful son in September 2015 I started thinking, ‘What is it I want to do?’,well what else but to help others achieve their goals. If its weight loss you are trying to achieve, or to become more fit, active and enjoy life because you have the energy to do so, then come see me, because I would love nothing more than to be a part of “YOUR” forever journey.
