See that confident, strong, and healthy beauty on the right? That’s the Andrea I know! I met her through our FASTer Way to Fat Loss coach group. It’s been a pleasure to meet Andrea – she’s naturally generous, kind, and supportive.
Her story resonates with me on a number of levels, and I bet it will for you, too. I’ll have her tell it in her own words:
“See me over there on the left? I was so exhausted and frustrated. I was trying to do everything and be everything for my kids, my husband, and my friends. I showed up for every event and every person that asked for my help. I just never showed up for myself. Nobody was getting the best of me. Especially not me.
When I started looking for pictures of me before the FASTer Way I couldn’t find many. I literally have hundreds and hundreds of pictures of birthdays, holidays, vacations…and I am barely in any of them. I have been hiding from the camera for years. I’m literally missing from the memories.
The truth is I would see pictures like these and immediately get motivated to cut my calories down to nothing and spend at least 2 hours at the gym everyday I could. I was ashamed of my body so I punished myself.
I have started and stopped and then succeeded and failed at so many different attempts to lose fat and get healthy.
Fast forward to me now. Y’all the game has changed for me. I am finally confident and strong and HEALTHY. I have nothing to ‘go back’ to eating because I’m not deprived of anything. I work out for about 30 minutes in my living room. I don’t care how cliche it sounds, the FASTer Way has genuinely changed my life.”
The part of Andrea’s story that really stands out to me is the fact that she was always putting others ahead of herself. Selflessness is so admirable, but may not be sustainable. Have you been showing up big time for everyone but yourself? Do you put other’s needs ahead of your own? (Enneagram type 2s, this post is for you!) I would encourage you and your wonderful servant’s heart to consider your health and wellness a top priority! You will be able to help more people over time when you are a healthier you.
Thank you, Andrea, for allowing me to share your story. It encourages me very much and I know it will encourage others!
