Herbal life journey

So, I bet all you are wondering how my life with this new lifestyle change is going. I will admit I am loving the results and I have been doing it for about three months now.

 This is me before I gained all the weight. During this time I took a lot of picture of me and my body because I was so proud. 


Before starting this journey I had gained about 30-35 pounds, this was due to multiple things going on in my life. I was taking a medication that definitely made my body gain weight, but I can't just blame it all on that. I will also admit that I wasn't eating the best and definitely wasn't exercising.

This is me at my worst.  Though you may not be able to tell the difference, it is definitely there.  I barely took pictures of my whole body  or just in general because of how I felt about my self.


So now lets fast forward to June. At this point my life I was really just disheartened with my body. I hated wearing clothes that didn't stretch and had like no energy to change  my body with exercising. Finally,  after shopping for a skirt and just being discouraged by how I looked in the fitting room I made the choice that I really needed to change my body. The week before this happened my mom had mentioned Herbal life and doing that, but I was set that I could do it myself. This was not the case, I couldn't do it myself.

I set one foot in front of the other and made the necessary actions for me to get in touch with someone who worked with Herbal Life. We talked and instantly I knew that I would love it and could make the sacrifice for it. My coach and I set up a meal plan that would work for me and developed a great way to communicate between each other. That next week I started what was the best thing that has happened to my body since my sophomore year of high school.

My first week with Herbal Life I dropped 5 pounds!! Every part of my body was showing this change. It was amazing!!

 Second week in I had lost another 5 pounds!! As you can imagine I was on top of the world. I was so happy! Everyone around me was complimenting me and asking what program I was doing. My clothes fit better and overall I loved the way I was looking.

This is me two weeks after I started Herbal Life. Even in this picture you can tell I was gaining my confidence back and had energy to do a lot more than before.


Now everyday or even every week wasn't easy.  There were times I just wanted to give up and enjoy eating the non-healthy whenever I wanted. Losing weight is a such a mental game and it takes more than just eating right and exercising.

Some may say that dieting is bad and that it can be hard to stick with it, but I disagree. I get to eat 6 times  a day and I am learning eating habits that I know will last a lifetime. Herbal Life was not just a a diet or some meal plans I did. It is my healthy eating lifestyle. I am so proud of myself.


Over the course of about 4 months I have lost 31 pounds. I am still on this journey to getting my body. Don't give up! If you are on the same journey keep going! You can do it!! As I continue this journey I have more and more reasons to ....
Love life! <3
