So this is not a weight-loss post (although I have obviously lost weight).

This is a post about how my inside had to change before my outside could.

Looking back now, I don’t think I realized how miserable I was at the time that first photo was taken because I didn’t know how happy I could be.

I was angry, ashamed and embarrassed by how my life turned out and I thought I was powerless to change it.

I was sick (with autoimmune diseases), single (in my 30s) and significantly overweight.

I was in so much pain that something had to change so I made a significant investment in myself (with the help of my parents and my credit cards) and signed up to work closely with Brooke Castillo of The Life Coach School (through which I am also a certified life coach).

With Brooke’s help (and God’s of course), I worked on what I ate, by mostly eliminating flour and sugar (which helps balance out hormones) but more importantly, I had to deal with the reasons behind my eating choices.

Choosing to eat junk and overeating is a symptom of a greater problem…a thought problem.

Because our thoughts create the feelings that drive our actions and our actions create our results, changing my mindset is what ultimately got me to where I am now…happy and healthy.

I changed my life by changing my mind and I am beyond blessed to help others do the same.

Blessings,

Angela
