Brenda’s Story
My journey has been one of many struggles from being out of control with my eating, my thoughts about myself, and struggling with pain in my body, mostly my hips. Being a nurse, I already knew what was needed to lose the weight, but I didn’t have the strength to do it.
I was an expert on what was needed, but my habits kept me stuck.
My only hope was deciding to let God lead me on this journey to wellness.
“Realizing that God’s grace was all I needed and if I fell down I could get back up and try again. I learned that it’s a daily choice to eat healthy, move, and create a mindset shift. Choosing to do those things daily along with changing my habits and incorporating supplements has made a difference in my life.”
I decided to become a health coach out of my own struggle to lose weight, going on diets that caused me to starve myself and feel like such a failure. I didn’t want anyone else to struggle the way I did, so my goal was to start loving me in the moment. Loving me in the moment made me realize that I had everything I needed to live a healthy lifestyle now! That’s when I met Bess Blanco through someone else on Facebook and joined the FRESH Start Community. This changed my life forever!
Powerful Coaching Moments:
*One of my clients, who is a personal friend, called me to inform me she was discharged from the hospital after an A1C of 11.2. She was put on diabetes medicine and was upset about it. I was out of town, but walked her through reading her labels as she shopped for food. Her first question for me was “What can I eat?” My client totally changed her diet and is now down to 7.0 and on her way to an even lower A1C. I am excited that I get to be part of the process!
*One thing that is a win for me is when I see people that I have coached creating new habits. Every morning before work, I walk in the gym at my school. One day, it made me smile to see one of my clients speed walking with her headphones on. I smiled and said, THIS is why I do it!
