At 21, I got married and put on more than 100 pounds. At 29, I had two children that I should have been setting a healthy example for, but instead I was overweight and on multiple prescription medications.

I had high blood pressure, acid reflux, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, and was diagnosed with depression.

My life was out of balance and my self-worth non-existent.

After a bad report from my doctor and Holy Spirit conviction falling on me, I decided to make a change.

I turned the bible and to my faith. Coupling my new experience of grace with a life-long love of nutrition (I’d been dieting for more than a decade. Diets do not work. It’s one thing to know what to do, but another thing to do what you know.)

I made necessary changes in my life. I documented a thorough set of daily disciplines that I made my lifestyle.

The daily disciplines I began living with allowed me to adhere to a practical, sustainable and fun eating lifestyle that helped me lose 44 pounds in 6 weeks and more than 100 pounds in less than 6 months.
