As far as I can remember, I always had weight issues...I was 10 yrs. old when I was put on my first diet..out of concern of course for my health. My nicknames were "Porky" and "Petunia", lets just say that I was pleasantly plump.
As life went on I tried all of the diets imaginable; Atkins, Weight Watchers, Cabbage Soup Diet, Scarsdale Diet, Thin for Life Diet, "Starve Myself Diet", "Don't Eat Breakfast or Lunch Only Supper Diet", Liquid Diet , Powder Diet etc...you get my point...I'm sure that some of you can relate to what I am trying to say....obviously none of these worked for me.
When I finally decided three years ago that this was it, I was making a change and sticking to it, that's when everything started falling into place for me. The puzzle pieces were coming together one by one and that is what finally brought me happiness and health again.
I had to get rid of all the negatives in my life as well, whether it was people, situations etc....I had to make peace in situations that were stressing me out and bring in as many positives as I could to fill my life!
I had never set foot in a gym in my 42 years..I had always imagined that it would be full of sexy women with tight leotards and the perfect bodies and that I would feel very intimidated....at Physical Limits Fitness Club, you feel comfortable immediately because there are people of all sizes and you do not feel judged.
Jason Christoff (owner and founder of The Revolution Weight Loss Program) is a strong believer that healthy weight loss and exercise go hand in hand and it is so true.
There are two things that I do to maintain my weight loss;
1.I weight myself every morning as I wake. This keeps me in line...
2.I write my gym schedule out weekly so that I see it and I know that it is part of my busy lifestyle. I need to go to stay on the right path and to feel energized.
There is also an angel that works there by the name of Cathy Bourgon. She is a personal trainer that takes care of the weight loss exercise classes. Cathy is an AMAZING individual and she just sees everyone as equals and size really never matters to her. She is such a genuine person and makes you feel like you can accomplish anything no matter what size you are and what challenges that you are experiencing physically.
She has become a very good friend throughout my weight loss journey and I only have great respect for her as do all of the other girls and guys in the class. We are a big family with one goal, getting healthy while having fun.Thanks Cathy, you are the best!!!
If you are like me and have never had much luck with yo yo dieting, come and see what this program is all about. You are never alone, you have so much support, weekly newsletters, health seminars etc....
I know that it has saved my life and I've never felt healthier than I do now. I will always have positive things to say about this program.
The following video is very inspirational and makes you realize that anything is possible when you set your mind to it! No matter who you are and where you come from dreams do come true when you take that very important first step. You can overcome obstacles and live out your life the way you want to live it....turn your negatives into positives and it will open many doors for you ....
Stay healthy..
