Past:
I have been heavy my entire life. Starting in JR high school not knowing what a size 16 even looked like. I wore stretchy pants straight through elementary school and into Jr. High school I bought my first pair of jeans Size 18 @ 15. I would try cloths on and cry. I always wanted to go shopping but the truth is once I was in the changing room I knew it wasn't the same. My arms wouldn't fit, my shoulders, my chest would bust out of everything, pulling my legs into pants that wouldn't zip up or even touch button/hole.. I would turn beat red and get so mad at my self ...I wanted to change but I had no idea it was possible.... I'll admit it. I have been know to rip cloths as I am taking them off because how big I was. ..... tears...... I hated trying on cloths. I wore a jean overall shirt to 8th grade graduation because they didn't have any dresses my size.
After culinary school I was working as a full time Sous-chef in Vermont also started working for a family as a nanny for a 3 year old princess she was incredible. She made my life better just knowing her. I worked for the family for 8 months then the holidays rolled around and her family came in town so I took the holidays off to continue working Jan 5th.
I was working for a Chef at a restaurant in Vermont. He knew the family through an old contact/email list. Day after Christmas my boss found out she had passed away. I didn't know.......... 8 days later on New Years day, I received a call asking "Why was I not at the funeral" I was so confused.... well my boss needed me to work... so he didn't tell me about the passing of the Little Girl. I missed her wake, funeral, I never got to say "goodbye"
I was shocked... I was so confused.... I hated the world . I hated him!....I did.. I was so sad, mad, frustrated with people beyond belief, so disappointed, how selfish of this man was to tell everyone I worked with NOT TO TELL ME!! because he needed me to work the holidays.
I took the pain of her death with the complications of my inner circle turmoil and the next 5 years of my life I gained over 100 pounds at 323 pounds I wasn't happy. I wanted to be happy more than anything. I wanted someone to love and be loved at 24 I had never had a real chance at love and I deserved it!
I was 323 pounds I was wearing a size 28/30 my energy was so low and I was working all the time as chef working around food 24-7 when I ate it and when I cooked it. I am not talking about cooking a few dishes a night I am talking like 400 plate of food I would cook and plate and serve. I wrote menus for restaurants. Food was in my brain 100% of my life. Professionally and Personally. My work schedule was from noon to ten pm, my feet hurting bad. Eating through out the nights, taking dinner home and eating it in front of the TV. Or with my friend who loved to go grocery shopping and I loved to cook. Food wasn't was never nutrition it "just tasted good"
A new year a New Start: February 2008 I was with my friends and A friend invited me into a Nutrition Club " Stop'n Shake" in Claremont NH. I said "NO, I won't do that to loose weight" She was in perfect shape and a professional dancer. I thought to my self , What does she know......about being fat... ????
By the end of the month I had lighten-up on her and the club. I went in... I fell head over heals in love with the my first Shake... I mean YUM! mind you I am a chef, I have eaten in restaurants from San Diego Cal- to Maine and back to Florida.
I am a professional taste tester (wink)
I started Herbalife on Feb 25, 2008 and I will never forget my Wellness Coach Jody! She knew what was up and got me on the program, weight loss challenge and started telling my friends. I won the entire 12 week weight loss competition 806- I LOST 35 pounds and 35 inches- INCREDIBLE...
Before I started Herbalife, I was sore all the time, tired, sluggish, I suffered from chronic migraines (15-18 a month), pain in my back that would make me scream, very dry skin(painful in winter), pre-diabetic, and scarred where my life would go if I didn't make a change.
Present:
I am now 203 pounds on my way to a slim 160 or less. I love Herbalife because of the balanced life nutrition it brings to you. I felt the difference after 1 shake..
You can too! I can show you how!
Future:
I choice to make the REST OF MY LIFE THE BEST OF MY LIFE!
