My daughter has told me on numerous occasions that I am her inspiration. Quite a few others in my circle – a circle that now has global reach – tell me the same thing! It is an interesting phenomena: Just like a pebble thrown into a pond creates ripples that spread beyond its initial splash, the changes I am making in my life are having a ripple effect that touches not only myself, but also those around me.
When I embarked on my weight loss journey over 14 months ago, I was making a personal choice, but I always knew that my story was destined to have an impact that would extend outward in a monumental way.
My weight loss experience has taught me that there is power in change. Healthier habits have led to a newfound energy, vitality and enthusiasm that is contagious. I am influencing others to consider their own well-being. It is a calling I don’t take lightly for I am instilling freedom in those suffering the debilitating effects of poor self-care!
I have never been shy to be authentic about my life’s struggles. By sharing my experience – struggles and victories – I have become a source of inspiration to many. Herein lies this beauty: Encouraging and guiding others to pursue their own fitness goals has created a positive feedback loop of motivation and support.
My weight loss journey has never been just about shedding pounds. I am far more inclined to delve into the discovery of my true God-given potential, and then share that wisdom with others, for it takes massive strength to be the strongest, most resilient versions of all that we are created to be!
