The feature appeared in their, "Get Inspired!" section. The article discusses bits and pieces of my story and my weight loss/fitness journey. It also mentions a few details on how I lost the weight. I thought the article was really well thought out and written. The headline quote that was used is just........ pure awesomeness! They couldn't have picked a better quote!

"Life is amazing after my weight loss." 

It's no secret that I had more than just physical issues with weight that I needed to desperately work on. I had to change my entire way of thinking. Everything about myself needed a transformation. I was a negative person filled with a lot of self hatred for myself and my own life. Throughout my journey and after a major weight loss.... I am full of gratitude and forever grateful for my second chance at life. I don't dwell on the negative things. I dwell on the positive things in my life. I set aside some time each day and reflect on the things I am most grateful for and in return makes me a happier human being. And yes.... life is amazing overall after my weight loss. But don't get me wrong... some days are STILL a struggle. 

Grab yourself a coffee ☕, a sweet treat 🍩 and pick up the Sept/Oct issue of @strongfitnessmagazine that is on newstands now and get your read on. I'll meet you on page 78! . . Also, stay tuned for my next feature hitting newsstands in a few weeks. Can't wait to reveal who it's with. ••••••••••••••••••••• #blessed #multiplesclerosis #ms #opticneuritis #pcos #glaucoma #anxiety #depression
