As a kid, I was skinny and confident, enjoying sports and hanging out with friends. During year 9, a cloud came over me and everything seemed to become difficult. I was gradually becoming more and more depressed. I stopped my sports, stopped socialising and was placed on anti-depressants. I managed to hold things together academically but socially and emotionally I was a mess and food became a comfort. By the end of year 12 my weight had snowballed into triple digits and I was miserable. My mum encouraged me to join her training with the It’s Personal Community which was a huge challenge for me!! But I stuck with it and by the end of my first 12 weeks I had totally changed the way I was eating, and I could see my body becoming stronger. The kilos were falling off and emotionally my moods improved, I no longer needed anti-depressants. I knew I was onto a winning formula and I didn’t want to stop! I found a lifestyle that is easy to maintain and lost my craving for sugar and junk and I’m comfortable that my habits now are ones I will have forever.
My transformation is due to the loyalty, belief, passion and dedication of my trainer Elizabeth, it has been life changing and life saving for me!!
