Progress...

It has been 5 months into our good eating and Body by Vi journey.  Throughout the last few months of trying to shed pounds and promoting a great product, I have learned who to trust, who I can rely on, who my real friends are, and how to love my family even more....  Currently, I have lost 27 pounds and James has lost 36 pounds!  What an incredible ride this has been.... Challenging at times, emotional too... The best part of helping myself has been loving myself, which is something I have never felt much... Don't let that outgoing personality fool you:)))  I have my issues just like everyone else, I am human:)
Feeling good about myself was key for me!  I don't need to be "skinny" or fit into a bikini, ALL I wanted to do was feel ALIVE.  I am feeling that and so much more!  I am still not where I want to be but, I will get there, it's baby steps and, I am wiling to take those steps.
Not only have I benefited from this journey but, so has my family..  I am no longer the bitchy mom who yells at everyone all day, I am no longer tired and taking naps daily, I no longer drink 3-4 pepsis daily, I do not go through drive thus 3-5 times a week.....  I am a better wife and mother due to the fact that I finally put myself first!  I struggle with "mom guilt" a lot!  I have been a stay at home mom for 9 1/2 years now and it is what I know...  My children always come first, and they still do but now, I have taken myself to a whole new level!  My marriage is thriving, and everyone is much happier around here... I like to call it "harmony" I stress less about the "little things" now... Life is way too short to worry about things that just are not that important...  Soon, before I know it, my kids won't want to hold my hand in Disneyland, or even go out in public with me:))))

I have discovered that I LOVE chatting with people and hearing their stories, their "why"....  It is amazing to me how similar my "why" is when I talk to customers...  It is important to me that I not only support and encourage myself but, I support and encourage others!  The out pouring of support from friends and family has been incredible...  When someone tells me I inspire them, my jaw drops..  Me?  Inspiring?  I never guessed I'd have that affect on people!  How amazing is that?

I have been so honest and open with people, really putting myself out there, and I have found that to be appreciated more then I realized..  When I decided to become a part of The Visalus Company, I did it to hold myself accountable, and to get my life on track as far as my health and eating were concerned... Little did I know, I'd inspire many others to join me in this adventure:)  I've dealt with a lot of people's negativity towards the Body by Vi products!  My first few weeks I would get defensive and upset...  I even cried one day and told James "I cannot do this..."  Now, I turn my cheek....  I have never claimed to be a dietician or a health expert, that I am not!!  BUT, I do claim that this product is working for me, and I love every bit of it...  Helping people change their life has been a wonderful feeling and a challenge that I have taken head on!!!  I have taken control of my life and my eating habits and faced it straight on...  I am no longer afraid of how people "feel" about this program...  It is what it is...  Most people are just afraid of what they don't understand, or they have ZERO facts, or they think we "starve..."  I can assure you that I don't starve, and if that were the case I would have given up the first 2 weeks!!  This is about challenging yourself to newer heights!  Believing in yourself, making better choices and running with it!!!  To grasp this, you HAVE to go to a challenge party!!!  That is where you will get your facts, from a promotor who knows the ropes!!!  I am walking and living proof that you can feel better and ALIVE again.... One step at a time..

I am pretty sure my life is headed in an awesome direction!!  I never thought I could do this and I AM!!!  So much more to go but, I see the light at the end of the tunnel that was once very dark!!!  Watch out light, I am headed your way!
