The impetus for my journey began at the age of 8, I was an obese child. My parents got divorced, which was not a common thing back then! I immediately turned to food for comfort and became an emotional eater! Eating was my drug and helped me deal with the anxiety and sadness!
I was on every diet available from the age of 10 and I was going to a variety of eating groups for overweight kids. We would all sit together and commiserate and discuss our feelings and why we turn to food for comfort! By the age of 12, I was a regular at weight watchers, measuring every morsel of food that went in my mouth! Public School became a nightmare as I was bullied and tormented for being overweight!
At the age of 14, I decided to turn my life around! I hired a nutritionist, I hired a trainer and I entered a very healthy headspace after having years of therapy! I decided I deserved to feel good and be able to look in the mirror without tears! By the age Of 18, I finally got to a healthy BMI and bodyweight! I decided then that would be my career path, to help people like me turn their lives around, have confidence, and feel good about themselves! I went to school for fitness and nutrition and became a nutritionist! I’ve been helping people transform their bodies and their lives for over 23 years.
To this day no matter how much I try, I still see that sad 8-year-old kid! Body Dysmorphia is a real and constant struggle! I love to help others reach their goals and feel good about themselves! Nutritionforeverinc it’s not a diet… It’s a Lifestyle!! “Eat to lose is my motto!” No one is promised tomorrow and it is never too late to start, your health is everything, so do everything in your power to maximize it.
