Regular “Fitness Coach” Nearly Wrecks Beth’s Body & Health (Bizarre Details Here)

Before I give you this incredible story, I need to share this with you so we don’t get flooded with too many emails from people reading Beth’s amazing “healthy fitness turnaround”…

Even though she is a private/remote 1-on1 coaching client, she is using the training videos from our complete fitness video portal for ALL levels of users, Total-Access – the only difference being that I hand pick the exact ones for her to do, and we do it in “phases”. And we do a daily personal summary check-in, plus our private coaching calls.

Coolest part of this is anyone can be doing the same exact body & life-changing methods, just by joining Total-Access via this info page here (or you can use this shortcut sign-up link )

(NOTE – the discount price may be going up very soon since the Holiday season is about to start.)

And her “nutrition re-education” is happening via the QUICKLY-FIT Rapid Results recipe videos, also in Total-Access, and the mindset work she and I do on our coaching calls and our accountability check-ins.

OK – here is Beth’s “1-Month Reflection Letter”

SIDE NOTE – at the time of me getting this out to you, Beth is now about 5 or 6 months into her program with me, and her changes have been beyond INCREDIBLE.

We will be sharing a follow-up update very soon, and you will NOT want to miss it because there are some clues to be revealed that will help any person who struggles with the “fitness” part of their life… Stay tuned!!

My one month reflection on my new fitness journey with Joey as my personal Coach

Before I started one-on-one coaching with Joey my fitness Journey was very confused and scattered, with many terrible attempts at trying to do the right things for myself.

I have tried so many things. It’s crazy.

For years I did all the beach body workouts, you name it I’ve done it.

I’ve done brazil butt lift, turbo jam, turbo fire, P 90 x, P90x 2, insanity max 30 and even Chalene extreme and body beast, all the crazy stuff they say we should do to get results.

Cardio, muscle confusion, lifting heavy, fast movements, HIIT and all those workouts where you need to kill yourself, that never got me anywhere.

My main goals have always been to really tighten, tone, and sculpt my body and get rid of that cellulite that most of us women deal with, no matter what size we are.

Well, none of these crazy workouts or diets did that.

Sometimes I would be working out and say to myself “Why do people do this kind of stuff to get in shape, it doesn’t make any sense” …

But lacking in knowledge I thought this was the only way to get fit.

I kept at it for years doing these workouts, every time they came out with a new one I was right there buying another crazy program that wouldn’t work for me.

Some of the programs would even say “if you don’t lift heavy and go to failure, then go home…” but I still continued on the wrong path and I even ended up hurting my hip somehow to the point it was in so much pain, even just sitting down.

I still even struggle with it to this day.

All the crazy HIIT workouts, killing myself literally being so out of breath trying to get results.

My body really just got worse, instead of better, and I never saw the sculpted body I was looking for or reduction in my cellulite like I wanted.

After all the beachbody stuff I did another program because I was still trying to get rid of that cellulite and tone and sculpt, so I made another attempt to try again.

I kept thinking; “Well if I just keep doing these crazy workouts, I have to eventually get results” Right?

No, I was so wrong… then I found another program that promised to help me with all my body goals and I was even given a coach to schedule my workouts and even help with nutrition if needed.

Well I started getting SO super confused because I would write down all my food I ate for the day and she would look at it and say “you’re eating way too much”…

It would really confuse me because I would see others the same height as me on the program and even older and they said they would have to eat more food to get their bodies in shape.

Seriously confused, I started saying to myself “This doesn’t make any sense, I’m taller and I need to eat less food”??

I even sent in my pictures and all they could say was because I’m older and perhaps going through perimenopause and having food allergies and food intolerances I’m not seeing the results I wanted.

I actually got really sick too with them trying to help with my food intolerances and even taking out healthy foods I really didn’t even need to avoid!!

My body was just getting worse, more mushy, deflated, saggy and just feeling awful. I was a big mess that needed to be fixed.

This program also had me doing so much cardio and those crazy HIIT workouts that everyone swears by. I was doing a lot of jumping around, step jumps, burpees, you name it I did it.

It got to the point that my calves and achilles were getting so painfully tight that everyday I had to foam roll them just to get some relief and that didn’t even solve it.

I just said to myself one day; “I need to find a better way, there has to be a better way”.

Well I started digging through some old DVDS that I have and low and behold I found some of my Joey Atlas videos that I had bought several years ago.

I remembered that when I was using them, I had gotten a lot of compliments on my legs and body and I would always tell people “Yeah and they’re such easy workouts and gentle on the body that anyone of any age could do it.”

Well I dug those DVDS out, I have the Naked Beauty/SYMULAST program and the ULBHTM – Levels 1 and 2 and I decided on my own that I would start incorporating these into my lower-body days…

I started with the naked beauty and started doing it 1x through after doing my regular leg workout from this other program I was doing with the coaches I had at that time.

Well, with Joey’s training sessions I could just feel how my muscles were really working and being targeted in a slow controlled manner and I wasn’t killing myself.

And it was also the connective tissue, the fascia, tendons and nerves being activated and trained properly too. This is a unique aspect of Joey’s methods and there is something to be said about this.

After I did that 1x through for a couple of times I decided to tell my coach I was going to start incorporating some of “my own workouts”, but at the same time she still gave me a lot of cardio and jumping around stuff so I could see I really wasn’t getting the results that I knew my body could attain.

So little by little even though I was still paying for the previous coaching I decided on my own to do my own thing, so I made up my own schedule with Naked Beauty and with the Ultimate Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Makeover from Joey (which are all in Total-Access, plus all the new programs they add each month.)

So every other day 3 x a week I worked my whole lower-body using Joey’s programs.

Well, after avoiding the high-volume cardio for a really long time I could tell my body was now starting to get firmer and feel so different again and starting to respond in a really good way.

Now starting to feel these changes I started to look for Joey online, I was like “I wonder what this guy is up to, I need to seriously find him, I just love this guy.”

So I dug around on google for him, I figured he has to be somewhere around here, lol, so I started just googling his name and a lot of stuff came up and I found one of his main sites where I found my favorite trainer for life, Joey Atlas

I found the amazing, wonderful, and awesome Joey Atlas.

I’m actually starting to tear up as I’m writing this because this is where it gets sooooo Good and my life and body starts to change for the better.

I was reading one of the articles he wrote and everything he said was exactly what I’ve been looking for…

I was even still getting emails from Joey at this time for YEARS, So I started reading those emails again every single day and there was always a success story on there or some words of encouragement that just told me; “Beth this is where you need to be, on Joey’s programs, completely.”

So my first step, before even seeing if Joey could take me on as a personal 1-on-1 coaching client, was to just try the programs he has set up in his Total-Access video-on-demand plan.

Well it was the ABSOLUTE best decision of my life I have ever made.

I got into the video-on-demand site and browsed around on it every single day and saw some amazing stuff and even the workouts I ALREADY started to reincorporate back into my routines and lots more.

His style of training just amazed me even more, I knew it was already good of course from the workouts I’ve been doing but I could totally see his gentle, and slow approach in all these newer workouts I was looking at.

Not one single training session had anything crazy, painful or risky in it.

Each day Joey also shares his own training session on facebook live in real time so I decided I would start watching those, because they are so encouraging to watch.

Well, one of the times when he was working out he was talking about another stupid myth of how people say; “you need to eat directly after a workout or you’ll lose your muscles.”

I started to laugh so hard because so many regular trainers make lots of people think that’s true, but it’s totally not the case.

Here Joey was looking all fit and toned and his muscles were looking strong and sculpted and still does of course… And he DOES NOT eat right after his training sessions and they don’t force their clients to do it either.

I was thinking; “this is exactly what I want” I responded to Joey right in the facebook live comments as he was training and interacting with us, and I said “Joey I need help with my nutrition because I don’t even know if I’m eating enough”

He said “ I’ll get you, Just leave me a message below and we can talk” I was like “Joey I am totally serious here” So I wrote on his facebook page “ Joey I am truly serious, can you really help me? I need help big time.”

I actually even said “ I don’t know if I”m even eating enough protein and healthy fats”

See all those other programs I had been using confused me on my nutrition, saying I was eating way too much, them saying stupid things like you can’t eat carbs or fruit after a certain time in the day.

No wonder I was so messed up. It was all nonsense and unproven myths which are still being pushed out there!

Well Sweet sweet Joey got in touch with me. He said Message me on facebook and I’ll get back to you.

I was so serious about what I said and what I wanted to do so I sent Joey a message…

He replied back and got my number and information and said he would call me. I said that would be great.

He called me and I accidentally missed his phone call at the time so he left a message but as soon as I saw he called and I missed it I automatically called him back because I was SERIOUS.

He probably thought I was Craaaazzzyyy!!!!! …..LOL

When he answered we laughed a bit and we went into our conversation of what I wanted to accomplish, my goals, and how I’ve been so confused from all the junk programs and coaching in the past that I’ve been doing and people brainwashing me with their dysfunctional ways.

Joey is so understanding and compassionate, he knew exactly where I was coming from and he understood all the nonsense I was going through.

He KNOWS the “bad” fitness that has been flooding the mass-markets for decades.

So Joey asked if I would be interested in 1 on 1 coaching and I said that would be awesome.

It was certainly an investment. But I thought about all the crap I’ve been put through and all the programs I’ve done, all the previous money wasted, with no success to show for it.

And I thought how nice it would be to finally have someone as amazing as Joey to directly help me with all this and get this part of my life figured out once and for all.

Good grief it’s Joey Atlas!! LOL. He’s not just some weekend certified trainer, he is an Exercise Physiologist with a Master’s Degree! Who has that?!

So I gladly and most excitedly said OH yeah let’s do this, because I just knew he would be the one to guide me to the best results ever.

I’m happy to say it’s only been a little over a month and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.

My only regret is that I didn’t start with him as my coach. But the past is past and now is my time.

I am actually seeing and feeling changes like I’ve never felt or seen before, EVER.

Oh and I sent some pictures to Joey so he could see what he had to work with. It was so amazing that as soon as he saw me he knew EXACTLY what I needed.

I actually needed to re-gain lean-tissue weight first, to repair all the damage that the previous programs did to me.

We needed to rebuild my body, or as Joey and his team call it “re-composition”, which is what they do with all clients regardless of your weight or size.

They look at your body in a completely different way than regular fitness/nutrition coaches. And this is why all of their clients get life-changing results.

All these other programs couldn’t even figure that out for me.

I sent them pictures and not even once did they say, “Oh you need to regain some lean weight, you’re not even eating enough”…..LOL

But Joey was right on the money and knew exactly what I personally and specifically needed to make progress toward my goals.

My body is still in the process of making many, many more changes but I’m definitely feeling and seeing the improvements happen and even the hubby is giving me compliments everyday.

He said; “the cellulite is definitely smoothing out” — so Oh Yeah to that!!

He even says he can’t believe the changes he is seeing already and how great Joey is for helping me out with all this.

He’s loving the process just as much as me and I know there’s gonna be a lot more yet to happen and I’m super excited for it.

Also, with Joey’s direct guidance and coaching, I’m now focusing on eating more plant-based nutrition, just like my BEST AND FAVORITE TRAINER FOR LIFE Joey .

His recipe videos are so simple, but unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.

I have always loved veggies and eating healthy but I am so happy and grateful to learn that there are even more ways and even better ways of cooking and eating so that I can get better results with my health and physique by eating more plant-based and organic foods to eliminate the chemicals and junk we put into our bodies, that work against us.

Joey’s knowledge in these areas is on a whole different level than anyone else.

And what’s amazing is he and his team don’t put people on diets, they simply coach you into the way we should be eating but in a way that is so delicious and easy to do anywhere, so you can never “fall off the wagon”.

A lot of people think it’s hard to get quality protein in your body if you eat plant-based, well I’ve learned that is not the case at all. It’s easy to get awesome amounts of super-healthy protein if you know what to do.

I’m super excited to see what my body is going to do in these next phases for sure especially with eating a lot more plant-based.

I will definitely say that I’ll never have to find another fitness training program or way of eating again, since I found Joey— seriously MY HERO for sure.

Right now my body has changed quite a bit in this 1st Phase I’m in.

My Jeans are fitting soooooo much better, my butt is lifting and I’m feeling a lot firmer and I see the cellulite starting to fade away.

It’s weird because it’s like my body is making all these small little shifts each day and I can see it.

When I feel my thighs I have never felt them be so firm and strong before and even that fat under the butt is starting to change too.

I know for sure I’m in the right place now.

My arms are looking stronger and tighter and I have curves like a woman should have.

I can’t express how grateful I am to be on this wonderful Journey with Joey…

This truly means so much to me and it’s not even just about the physical it’s about me being healthy and now eating more of a wide variety of food giving my body the nutrients it needs to just be healthy in every way and function normally and have more energy and enjoying life to a larger degree for the rest of my life.

Joey is absolutely the BEST and there is no program or any other person in my eyes that is better.

He is helping me so much, and from the bottom of my heart I say thank you and I know it’s not even over yet. I have so much more to look forward to on this Journey with him.

As I write this my eyes filling up with tears:

Joey, thank you for being with me on this journey of health and fitness and showing me the right way to exercise, eat properly for my body and just being here for me.

Words can’t even express how truly thankful I am to have you in my life to fix the big mess I was in. You’re absolutely a beautiful soul with a big heart, An ANGEL indeed!!!!

I’m super excited for more changes that are gonna take place on this journey with you.

I truly appreciate you helping me and how great and loving you really are. I’ve never experienced a better experience yet and I know I will never will because this experience means more to me than gold or anything else that I could have.

You’re truly a GEM Joey.

I’m starting to really cry now but I truly mean this from the bottom of my heart so it needs to be in this document for sure…..LOL

This is a special moment in my life!!!!!

Joey thanks for being so awesome and being “THE TRUTH” that you are and I know this wonderful journey is not over yet, not even close.

I’m looking forward to a lot more improvements for sure #YEAHBABY especially with you Joey.

LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU

“BETH BETH” XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Midweek Miracles: Personal Health Coaching Breakthroughs

Personal Health Coaching Breakthroughs

Welcome to the “Midweek Miracle” edition of the ATLAS Fitness News & Updates series….

The idea literally just came to me a few hours ago as I was pondering a few things that needed to be shared with as many people as possible… starting with YOU.

These are some of the latest breakthroughs from a few of my Long-Distance private coaching clients and one of my local hybrid clients…

So, without delay – we’ll jump right into it.

Midweek Miracle #1

Long-Distance private personal health coaching client Cindi (see her 1 month reflection here) – is making PROFOUND progress in her weight-reduction, MINDSET and health improvements….

TIP – Cindi admits she NEVER thought that was is happening to her would EVER happen. So, in the first few weeks I “reset” her belief system and boom! She is making progress she would have never thought possible. (“BELIEVE”)

She wrote this in one of her daily updates a few days ago:

“According to the scale, I am down, (despite weighing herself after eating). Wow. I needed that this morning.

I can say that I legit now only have 1 pair of shorts and 1 pair of jeans that I can still wear! My business clothes do not fit either. (her clothes are TOO BIG!!)

I have a closet full of clothes (TOO BIG NOW) that I will never wear, how cool is that?!

I put on a pair of my yoga sweat pants, oh my goodness! They are super loose in the butt and thighs. It’s times like this, that I know it’s real. The changes are real.

May sound strange, however, I am still having a hard time comprehending this is real, I am shrinking. Wow. Wow. Wow.”

I encouraged Cindi her to start a public podcast to share the finer details of her entire story – and if all goes to plan her first episode will be live by the weekend… Stay tuned as I’ll be sharing more on that.

Life-Changing.

Midweek Miracle #2

Long-Distance private coaching client, Joy – had several short trips and events over the lat 2 months that would have totally thrown her off track in years past…

But not this time – not with my guidance and her newfound mindset.

This time, she and I planned ahead, created definitive, but very simple, strategies to keep her on track and making great progress – no matter where she had to go or what she had to do…

In the past these would be the things that derailed her efforts and negated any progress – but now we’ve changed them into opportunities of even more progress and improvements.

Life-changing.

joey atlas quotes on health fitness wellness longevity — Joey Atlas Private Personal Health & Fitness Coach

Midweek Miracle #3

Long-Distance private coaching client Kendall – had several unexpected mishaps (and a current family vacation) that could have knocked her back to square one…

As a busy mom of 2 girls, with a career and household to run – life’s curve-balls can be a surprise that smother even the best intentions – which is what used to happen in the past…

But, now – with my guidance, Kendall has smoothly navigated several episodes and a Summer vacation she is on right now with the entire family – with a “stealthy” plan – a few key strategies and the attitude of control & success.

For example, I created a “Mini-Circuit Session” she can do literally almost anywhere in just a few minutes. So she is able to sneak it in here and there, while still enjoying all the family time and fun. (game-changer)

In years past Kendall admitted she would totally STOP her exercise program and that would also lead to her nutrition getting even further off track – and the aftermath would be a slow route back to getting into a groove again after the trip was over…

The cycle would keep repeating itself. You know how that goes right?

But not this year. This year we’ve changed her paradigm so everything works – and she stays the course.

Life-changing.

Midweek Miracle #4

Long-Distance coaching client Patty is in the throws of intense studies, a shifty work schedule and a life in transition.

But she values her health, BIGTIME. And she needed help getting and staying on the right track with her health and body-composition despite what her life was loaded up with…

And since starting with me just a few weeks ago – she has already experienced some important milestones that will now propel her toward even more progress and profound success.

She has now realized that her old, high-intensity workouts and hardcore exercise programs were putting her at risk (back problems, etc) while not delivering desired results…

She is now realizing that a gentler approach is not only better, easier, more realistic – BUT it is the gateway to creating a PERMANENT lifestyle of fitness and wellness.

And beyond that – she is already seeing performance improvements in her running times, because of the functional and safe nature of my training methods.

TIP: One THE BIGGEST lessons with everyone above is the fact that NOBODY has to have a “perfect” schedule that cannot be deviated from…

In fact we ALL have shifty schedules and life episodes that will come and go ALL OF US, including me…

BUT the difference between the successful people and the people who just keep backsliding year after year is that the successful ones find ways to stay on track, stay the course and stay on the path with strategies, tactics and methods that make it all natural, easier and realistic to maintain.

LIFE-CHANGING.

I hope this edition of Midweek Miracles has inspired you in some way.

Joey Atlas
PS – Seeing this edition got a little long – I’m going to save the personal health coaching breakthrough tip about my local hybrid client for the next edition so stay tuned for that as it reveals a very powerful insight that will benefit anyone, regardless of your current fitness & wellness status…

===============================

You’re going to love this.. It is awesome, in many ways.

I got so much incredible feedback when I shared Joy’s personal wellness/fitness coaching success letter a few days ago – I decided I’ll keep sharing them as long as each client is ok with it (some prefer to keep private, which is totally fine).

So on that note – today I’m sharing a really powerful one from, Cindi. She’s been with me for just over a month and she wrote a moving 1-month progress & reflection letter a few days ago.

She emailed it to me with 3 things:

1 – a short intro
2 – her daily “check-in” summary for the day
3 – the actual 1-month progress reflection

I decided to share all 3 of those items with you – because together they make for quite a powerful combo that will inspire, awaken and motivate readers into new action and new mindsets…

After reading please do share this with anyone else you wish and if you need the same kind of help, just send us an email with your main challenges, issues and problems and we’ll get you on the coaching waiting list.

Ok – here is Cindi….
—————————————-

1 – her short intro

Joey Atlas. Wow.

You know this is still amazing to me.

Joey Atlas the fitness guy is working with me! Sounds funny right?!

As I wrote my coaching reflection on my first month being in coaching with Joey, it amazes me how many lies are told to get people to buy into a program, a pill, a fad, even if it is a lie.

They prey on the weak and vulnerable.

I remember how it felt when I would see an infomercial, oh they made it sound so good, and so promising, that I was compelled to buy what it was they were selling.

It’s as bad as refined sugar. It’s an addiction. They are so wicked!

The train to nowhere that never stops, yet it continues to pick up passengers along the way. I don’t know how many tickets I purchased for that ride!

I do know though, when that train went by Joey Atlas, I jumped off and took my bumps and bruises for the hope that he was offering!

BEST decision I have made for my health!

Can I scream it from the rooftops?!

Can I yell at the top of my lungs?!

Joey, I love you and who you are, and what you stand for, and how much you have helped me in just one month!!!!!!!!!

I am sending hugs and kisses in the spirit to YOU my friend for Life!

~As Always

Cindi
——————-
And here is:

My Summary for June 5, 2019

Good morning Sunshine!

Joey is truly keeping in my remembrance – gratefulness.

Something I have learned and practiced over the years but seemed to have forgotten. The Lord is using Joey to stir up all that is in me, that He has taught me.

I am truly so ever grateful for that. I am grateful for an amazing leader – Joey.

I know, he hears this a lot, and that’s just confirmation to him that he is doing things, moving and shaking!

Moving and shaking people out of their comfort zone! LOL.

No walking this morning. Needed that sleep and not rushing out to walk. Just realized that I have a 1-hour massage today! Oh, my goodness I cannot wait for that.

It has been many years since I had one. This I won at an auction for Isaiah’s school. I pray that this guy is good! I am planning on a great day; therefore, I will have a great day!

Have still been dealing with the lethargy feeling mid-week. It kicks my butt. I don’t like this. I do not like the way it feels nor the way my body responds. Joey says this will pass as I begin to lose more weight.

You know what? I believe him. He has not steered me wrong.

I tried to take a nap and that didn’t work well. Just after dinner though I lied down again, and this time I did sleep. It helped somewhat.

The massage was okay. As I lay there, I thought to myself that I will not go anywhere else, but that my friend will be the only one to touch my body and give me a massage. Until I meet Joey’s massage therapist that is.

The following is a reflection of the past month with Joey. A little history and how I feel about where I am today, one month later.
—————

My 1-month Progress Reflection:

I never thought I would be where I am today mentally.

One month ago, I began working with Joey. That in and of itself is something beyond me. He was chosen for me, and I have never looked back nor wondered what I was doing.

Up until a month ago I was on the merry go round of an eating disorder.

I never looked at my issues that way, yet, that is exactly what it was. I never needed a reason to eat, like a person who never needs a reason to drink.

Yes, I justified my habit of eating every feeling on earth, and I was very good at it. I learned how to eat in private, no one would know, I left no evidence.

Who wants to be called out when you already know what you are doing?

I did not want my husband to know the depth of my problem. I didn’t even want to admit it.

Over the years I knew that I wanted to change, to change my eating habit, my body, everything about Cindi.

I tried everything there was to help me. Workout videos, diets, pills, not eating, eating more, you name it and I did it.

Each and every time I tried something, I was gung-ho, until about a month in. I would get bored, I would get hungry, and I would just get tired of no results.

I had not hit “bottom” yet.

All of those so-called diets, and fitness instructors, they all lacked one very major thing, mindset.

I didn’t know it then, I do now. I didn’t fail at all of those things, they failed me.

They did not teach me that unless I could change how I looked at food, how I perceived physical fitness, NOTHING would ever change for me.

It appears about 5 years ago I found Joey Atlas.

I even purchased something from him. Who knows where that went?!

I don’t recall actually reading many, if any, emails I received, I did keep them though, maybe a video or two I watched.

Time and season. When the student is ready the teacher appears.

And that is EXACTLY what happened. Joey appeared.

Even though I had been receiving emails from some fitness guy that I never really followed; one day, just over a month ago, I got another email from Joey Atlas.

Now, this was not just to me, it was to everyone that is on the email list.

I read this one, for some reason, I read THIS one.

It said that Joey had a private 1 on 1 coaching spot available and anyone interested just needed to respond to the email.

What got into me?

I responded without hesitation.

His response was, the spot was taken.

Okay, wasn’t the time for me. Maybe next time. Not!

It ended up working out for me to have a very coveted spot with this guy Joey Atlas. I am so blessed that I made it in.

Joey began not by throwing workouts at me, do this, do that.

No, he began by asking about me. Who I am and what led me to this place?

He didn’t put me on a restricted diet and tell me that lack of food and expending energy that I didn’t have will get me to lose weight.

No, he began teaching me that food is not the enemy.

He was teaching me that I needed to change my mindset.

It was very different from the fitness world that I knew and I knew from day 1 that Joey had what it took to help me.

A 52-year-old woman that all but gave up on the dream that I would, could be healthy. Not to only look good on the outside, on the inside too.

That was my breaking point. My bottom. It was my health.

I had a hard time walking up the stairs and not feeling like I was going to die. My doctor told me that I had arthritis in both knees. I was over-weight. My feet swelled all of the time.

I was just not going in the right direction. And I was sick and tired of it.

Joey has changed all of that in my life. Because I was willing, I was coachable and I was motivated, to finally do something about my life.

I truly never thought that I would feel like this again, I didn’t truly believe that I would be a fit woman.

I don’t think I ever was a fit woman, not both inside and out.

There were many times over this past month that I wanted to go back to the old ways, the old habits of eating whatever whenever.

I haven’t done that. Joey has made such an impact on my life that I don’t want to mess up my progress.

The progress, let me say, is not as noticeable on the outside as it is on the inside!

I know that by me listening to the teacher, the one who has gone thru so much of what I went thru, that I will continue to become healthier each day I live.

I am choosing to not be rebellious when it comes to my health.

Believe me it has not been easy. It was really difficult for me. I thought that I had to be deprived of food, my thinking was so messed up.

In the beginning with Joey, I would cry, I was so hungry, and I thought that I could only eat rabbit food; salad, with lettuce and stuff.

I actually went more than a few days, maybe a solid week before I began to understand that it was a lie, and that my food choices were far more varied and wide-ranging than just that!

I was believing lies about eating. But through a gentle process, Joey is helping me change that, not by forcing a “diet”, but simply by helping me understand some truths that we’ve all been blinded to by society and the mass media…

God gave us good food to eat, and I’m learning that.

Not the processed stuff that comes in bags, and boxes, all the things that I enjoyed tasting and swallowing, it didn’t matter that it made me sick!

I can look back and ask myself what took me so long to get this?

It can only be because I was not ready. And I was also misled for many years, just like most people are. But I take responsibility for that now.

I am looking forward to continuing to move forward with Joey.

I have come to love and understand true accountability.

I am so grateful that Joey found a place for me.

Good night,
