The Author spent most of her childhood and young adult years struggling with her health. She battled severe allergies, asthma, spastic colon and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for as long as she could remember. She grew up sickly, weak and defeated. She was told not to over exert myself, take my medicines regularly and make the best of it.

At times She wasn’t allowed to play outside, for fear of her allergies and asthma “getting stirred up”. Needless to say, sports were out of the question. During her high school and college years she was in and out of the emergency room with complications from a spastic colon, irritable bowel syndrome and poor diet.

She married her high school sweetheart Barry (a musician) when she was 20 and the roller coaster began. They moved from their small town of Evansville, Indiana to Dallas, Texas. Three years later they moved to Los Angeles. Let us spare you the “Jerry Springer details” but all that life on the road took its toll.

She had been the “skinny girl” all through High School, mainly because like a lot of teenagers – She just didn’t eat much.

So of course when Barry and her got married she didn’t have a clue how to prepare food. She just did what a lot of young newlywed women do – She went to the grocery store and bought anything that looked good and was easy to cook!

The married life has taken too much toll on her health and psychologically impaired her confidence. She became someone forgotten about the past, used to be skinny, now 50++ pounds!

It wasn’t easy and she had to crawl before she could walk - BUT SHE DID IT! The girl who couldn’t even run in gym class or do a single pull-up was jogging daily and lifting weights. She couldn’t believe how her body was transforming before her eyes. She went from being the newly frumpy, sickly girl…to a fit, new improved version of her.

The thing that amazed her the most was that her allergies even improved, anyone suffers from them knows how big of a statement that is! She took control of her health, which eventually helped her focus more on her marriage (now 15 years and stronger than ever), dive deeper in her faith, gain self-confidence and reach true happiness.

And she can proudly say that shenever succumbed to any of those slick ads weightloss-diet products. Never once have she used a prescription or non-prescription diet pill!

She went on to become a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor and Lifestyle & Weight Management Consultant.
