My unhappiness and despair over my weight and health dominated my thoughts each day. I kept these feelings to myself but they robbed me of joy and peace. I was unable to fully appreciate the many wonderful blessings I have in my life. I had almost given up hope that things would ever change because I have tried so hard to lose weight so many times.
Not too long after baby #4, I started on plan with Take Shape for Life. I knew it wouldn't work for me. Guess I was wrong ( first time for everything!).
So I'm posting these pics today, despite my embarrassment, to share hope with someone who may also feel trapped.
My journey is not yet done. I am excited to see the further inner and outer transformations!

Katie!!!! I'm so proud of you. You look so different...but because I've been through something so similar, I know that you ARE different. Still the same great, loving person people always knew you to be--but FREE! Full of HOPE! Changed. Thanks for sharing your journey. :)
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling, Katie! I want to get on this journey, too! I'm going to follow your blog. I'd like to know more.
ReplyDeleteI have always thought you are gorgeous, but I'm so happy that you are finding more internal joy and peace!
ReplyDeleteKatie - Congratulations - you sound like you are so pleased and you should be. You are a beautiful person and I would live to hear more about your journey. Was it hard in the beginning. Was it challenging when Seth began to lose weight? How did you go from "This will never work" to "Hey this is working"? Did you have some set backs along the way? Was it hard to have food for the kids around and yet stick with TSFL?
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you, Katie! You look marvelous!
