Journey to Health and Wellness |
When I first began my journey I wanted to be an encouragement to my daughter. I wanted to be a healthy and happy mother who would inspire her daughter to live an active lifestyle without worry of weight. I remember how girls talk and how weight was important while in school. I want her grow healthy and strong without feeling insecure. I know that being a healthy weight is not the entire solution, but we have always worked on the other aspects and this was the missing link.
I began by first increasing my exercise and incorporated slight diet changes for my family. To my surprise, these changes were embraced wholeheartedly. My husband started working out daily and my children love the new and exciting dishes that are prepared for them. Today, both of my children jumped on the treadmill—for funJ
My new goal is be as active as possible. Spring is coming and I am looking forward to getting my family outside more. I want to toss the Frisbee and play soccer in the park. I know these changes will benefit both me and my family. We are in a new phase of our life and loving every minute of it.

Hello, Veronica I listened to your story and want to encourage you to press forward. I myself recently started my own journey to lose weight and over a week into it I feel strong, confident and excited about my outcome. I wanted to also share with you that a great natural appetite suppressant is eating alot of fiber. I started this by eating a high fiber cereal in the morning and a huge salad for lunch and a piece of fruit in the evenings drinking a lot of water and I am absolutely amazed of how I’m not hungry and no more sugar cravings. All this just by adding more fiber to my diet. I get about 35 grams a day.
I look forward to checking in on your progress and ultimately celebrating your victory.
Blessings,
Chattanooga, TN
