My whole life I battled with my weight and self image. It caused me to be shy in school, teased, and have a difficult time meeting new people. In third grade I stopped eating one summer vacation and started a roller coaster effect with my weight and self confidence. By junior high I had begun to put the weight back on, never learning how or why I was doing so. By high school I was a self diagnosed bulimic. At one point my liver had begun to break itself down-- BUT my weight was down again. By college I was thin again...but still binging and purging.
I thank god every day for my kids. If it wasn't for Kaiden and Bella I don't believe I would have stopped all my bad habits or motivated myself to learn about nutrition or how and why the body works. My family is my everything. I wouldn't change the series of events in my life, past or present, for anything in the world.
I'm hoping to network and meet as many people as I can that can either help me advance in the health and fitness field or that I can help inspire or motivate. I especially would like to help moms get back into shape, and motivate young girls to choose a fit and healthy lifestyle and avoid the mistakes I made when the pressure to be "thin" runs high.
I am one of the most laid back people you'll ever meet and a strong believer in the power of postive thinking. I strongly believe in fate and that things DO happen for a reason. It is up to you to figure out why. I prefer positive, genuinely nice people. My glass is always half full :) Thanks for taking the time to want to learn more about me. :) Smiles and Teddy Bear Hugs, Melisa
