Don't Be Fooled By a Quick Fix

As I was walking through the store recently I saw shelf after shelf of diet pills and all these products that promised to help you lose weight FAST!  I used to have a love/hate relationship with this aisle...

❤️ - I thought one of them might work. I was excited to lose the lbs. quickly. 

🚫 - I was wasting my money because while some of them made me feel better, I didn't lose weight...

At least not long term!

Now I just HATE 🚫 this aisle. There's so much more to life than being skinny. Your goal should be ➡️ HEALTHY!  Unfortunately the products on those shelves are anything but healthy. 

As I checked the ingredients in these products, it broke my heart. So many of these products contain extra caffeine and other stimulants like guarana, and one of the scariest to me... a supplement called bitter orange (Synephrine).  It is VERY similar to ephedra with the same types of side effects (Increased heart rate and blood pressure; reports of anxiety, stroke, irregular heartbeat, heart attack). There's a reason it is banned by the NCAA. 

No amount of weight loss is worth risking your health. I don't care what route you take with your weight loss but PLEASE do your research on stimulants before jumping on board with something.  Friends don't let friends ruin their health for the number on a scale!

Do You Love You for You?

Do You Love Yourself?

I mean really?  You probably don't hate yourself but can you actually say that you are 100% happy with yourself?  If you can, I am sincerely happy for you.  If you can't, PLEASE let me help you!

These challenge groups are not just about losing weight and looking good.  They are about creating a happier and healthier you from the INSIDE out!  One of the most rewarding things I have gotten out of this is a positive outlook on life.  The people that you will meet in these challenge groups will inspire and motivate you every day.  

As busy moms, wives, girlfriends, and daughters, we let everyone else go first and we forget about ourselves.  We think that by doing this we are being unselfish and we are giving our time to others. Unfortunately, others are suffering because we aren't able to give our full selves.  It is time to stand up for yourself unselfishly so that you can give others 100%.  Imagine a life with energy and positivity!  You CAN do it...but will you?

If you are interested in changing your life today and making a decision that is going to make you happier and healthier, fill out this application to join my upcoming challenge group.  You won't regret it!
