The weight and the inches steadily came off, all while gaining muscle and hitting PR’s on ALL of my lifts. But more importantly, my mindset around food and my body completely changed. This wasn’t a fad diet, but a balanced lifestyle that prioritized protein and DESSERT that I know I will stick to for the long haul.

A minor detail in my transformation is that I have lost a few pounds, about an inch off my waist, and a full clothing size, but the important detail is I have gained tremendous confidence. I have bought a new pair of jeans for the first time in years without it leading to tears and emotional eating. I feel confident in cute outfits, wanting to dress up and not just wear athleisure at all times.
