It was the summer of 2022, and I was on a plane back from a 2 week trip to England to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday. I had such mixed emotions on that plane ride home. One side of me was glowing in having spent time with family and longtime friends from all over the world, and the other side of me was burdened with shame in having presented myself to my loved ones weighing 270 pounds.
It was in that moment that I decided to transform – to fully dedicate myself to getting into the best shape of my life, and rebuild my health. It was a light switch moment for me. I believed with certainty, clarity and conviction that I could accomplish my wildest fitness dreams. There was no turning back. All doubt and fear were absent. My mind was resolute!

As I look back on the past year of my weight loss journey 3 things come to mind:
The belief in myself was unshakable. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had all the Divine power within to manifest my fitness dreams. Doubt never crept in!
I actively created distance from any limiting beliefs. At the outset, I knew the journey would be a test of strength and character. So I celebrated all the small victories along the way, and built on their momentum.
My imagination was one of my greatest allies. I could vividly see myself 100 pounds lighter. I could hear in my mind all the compliments I would be receiving as people noticed my transformation. I savored the idea of fitting into flattering form-fitting clothes. And I could hear myself giving my testimony of the miraculous healing power of God.
Let my weight loss story be a shining example of all that is possible. The beliefs that you hold are integral to your success. It is possible to re-wire the way you think. Only accept empowering beliefs – beliefs that instill positive feelings in you – and ditch and reframe the ones that are no longer serving you. Practice this day in and day out, and be amazed at all that you can accomplish!
