My Story
When I began my job last September in a new school the very first day there was a huge potluck with everything under the sun being served. That day one of the girls who had worked there for years told me that this is done often. I decided right then and there I had to do something. See I have been a yo-yo dieter for years. Lose the weight to only gain half of it back and then lose it again to gain more....you get the idea.....I have always battled weight issues from the time I was a teenager....I lost my weight in 2007 and felt really good and then my life fell apart...marriage separation and all that comes with that and back on 20 lbs came....I am an emotional eater so I eat when I am any way emotional.......also turning 40 made me wake up and realize that my clock was ticking and if I was to lose it I had to do something.....I have always been an avid walker but again would sabotage that by coming home and eating what I had just burnt in calories...it seemed like a no win situation......until I joined Curves last September and I haven't looked back.....mind you I have only lost 4 lbs but I have lost almost 10 inches and feel great.....people are noticing the difference......and I feel good....the staff at Curves are so encouraging.....and helpful....Tanya and her staff go beyond what their job description requires.....not only do they give you advice about your health and weight issues but they also have everyday issues like we do----husbands, kids, bills so they struggle through life the same as we do and are willing to share their stories. Not only are they are coaches but they are your friends....they can tell when I walk in the morning what kind of day I am having and believe me some mornings it isn't pretty but I always manage to come out of there feeling so much better than when I went in. Curves has helped me to deal with life and allows me a place to go to not only be with friends but it is giving me a full-body workout as well. I will continue to struggle with my weight issues but knowing I have Curves staff behind me I will succeed!!!!
