Ok here goes…. I was asked if I could tell my story and I have agreed. I have let go of a lot of demons in the last 12 months, I have never felt so empowered and in control.. Everyone has a story and here is mine (briefly). I hope it inspires you to stay motivated and believe in yourself. From the age of 14 years old I developed an eating disorder that stemmed from childhood issues that followed me into my teen years and I guess depression throughout my 20s and leading up to my 30s (I am now 32). At the age of 30, I had an awakening that I was not expecting. I was surrounded by amazing friends at the time and realized I wasn’t entirely happy, or even close to where I wanted to be. With my eating disorder it was about control. I wanted to control my life, my pain, me. I weighed a shocking 42kgs; I was taken to hospital and I was told if I didn’t put weight on I would be hospitalized until I reached a healthy weight and a better mindset. Just like that the control I had sustained for years was gone. I also suffered from anxiety terribly. Suffered, being the operative word here. Fitness has certainly helped that too. I met my adoring and wonderful husband Travis when we were 17 years old. We have had many out there experiences together. 15 Years later he has built me up so high, I have achieved amazing things with him, including this fitness journey we are both sharing. In January 2014, I embarked on a new plan that I really didn’t think I’d stick to, until I spoke to Dale. From my past experiences I don’t weigh myself, so I have no idea what I weighed in January 2014. I was overweight, with a beer belly and extra love around the edges. I fluctuated with weight for years. I was a new mum at 21 and again at 26, so those other problems took a backseat for a long time. I was never a large person, just unfit, not toned and I started to search for something new. True Grit was the first massive thing I achieved – a walk in the park for some, but scary as hell to me! Since that I have developed the skills to control my life in a healthy and positive way. I am now an adoring fan of fitness and a new lover of food! My thoughts are kind to me and I am very content. I have met lifelong friends who have the same plans for themselves as I do. I have always had very good friends; the last thing I was looking for was friendship, at boot camp. However a new journey needed like minded people and new levels of comfort; I found the most amazing ladies and lads in Ripple Fitness. From boot camper to trainers. So to end this, I give a 5 star rating for fitness and wellbeing! Fun and adventurous events and social days! Happy, positive people at each session! Drew and Dale you both rock as trainers and as people! I have learnt an abundance of skills, thank you to the rip fit family, you’re one of a kind!
