About Me


Several years ago I threw myself into yet another weight loss attempt. I’d tried countless diets, joined gyms that I never went to, purchased shakes and bars and DVDs that I always stopped using, and never found the answers I was looking for.

It turns out it was all much easier, and much harder, than I ever realized.

Since then I’ve lost weight, found fitness, recovered my health, and grown into the person I always wanted to be. Along the way I learned you cannot hate yourself, or shame yourself or abuse yourself into anything good – everything good and worthwhile starts with love.

I’m loving myself – here and everywhere my journey takes me.
