Before I started with Wendie Pett I had given up. This is my new life. I was not happy with it but not upset about it. I had just went out and bought new close. Everything I had was wore out or did not fit. When you wear the same clothes they grow with you, but they do wear out.
I saw an email about losing weight. I get a lot of them and delete them. This one was different, it was like God telling me I needed to do this. I made an appointment to talk to Wendie. I know the time so I made sure I was home waiting for the call. I was scared and figured it would not work. I like food when I am scared, happy, bored, sad (ok food is the fix all).
I actually missed Wendie’s call because I was stuffing cheese puffs in my mouth. I bought a big jug of them for company I had and they did not open them, so I was going to eat them all, hate to waist food. I called her back and put down the cheese puffs. Wendie told me about the program and asked about me. Wendie said it would work. I wanted to believe it but thought this was not going to work.
When I found out no pop, cheese, or meat, I thought it would never work, those were the staples of my life. I thought I could not go out to eat, never going to work. But I kept hearing – “Do It.” God wanted me to do it. God kept me listening. My daughter is a senior in high school and going away to school next year. I was mad at my self for teaching her bad eating habits. I thought it was too late.
Life got a lot easier the more I did it. I have not done the stairs at work sense I hurt my ankle 2013. My balance has sucked since I had surgery on my ankle. I do the stairs and do not worry about falling down. I did not even think of this until I started writing this. I am not out of breath or breathing real hard all the time. Have a lot more energy, I do not want to go home and take a nap after work.
Wendie and her Visibly Fit program has impacted my life in so many ways. I could not go on the way I was living. I did not know how to change it. I put everyone before me and there was never time left for me. I did not care. I was happy if I could make everyone else happy. Wendie taught me I have to take care of me and make time for myself. I can not take care of anyone if I am dead. that is were I was headed. I feel better and have a lot more energy.
I would recommend Visibly Fit and Wendie’s coaching to anyone who I see or asks. I know it is not cheep. My friends all gave me a bad time about paying so much to loss weight, they all told me how to do it. but they do not want to do it. I needed someone to walk me though it and Wendie does that. You have a question she is there. When you are like – “I can not do this” – she is there. She keeps you on track, she nudges and suggests better alternatives. If you have a bad day she is there to lift you up and others that are doing it with you. I told my friends I can’t afford NOT to do it. They had nothing to say when the seven weeks were done. My daughter is still watching.
I never thought it was going to work, but something told me to do it. I never thought I could release 35.4 pounds and over 29 inches 10 of those inches in the waist in seven short weeks. But I did. I can not wait to see how much more I can do. I never thought I would feel good about myself but I feel like I count, I feel great about myself. It is something I have not felt for a long time, if ever. I am not hungry, I can not wait to drink the apple cider drink in the morning.
I have learned so much about my self. I am in charge of my life. If you listen God will guide you!! God is the key to my success. Wendie helped me see this.
