TRANSCRIPT

Hi, I’m Laura. I’m 38, and I work full-time as an inventory counter. I’m a mother of two and have always been healthy. I’ve always worked out, but after having my second child, I just could not lose the weight. And it created a lot of emotional issues with me, and it became quite the war. I have hired two online personal trainers and tried doing a ton of other things, but I never could lose the weight. I found myself caught in the binge and restrict cycle. Add to that, that I became a horrible emotional eater. I was unfortunately the girl who could finish everybody’s dessert and still want more. I just didn’t have an off button. I would get into funks and I would just eat and eat and eat. When I joined WarriorBabe, I was excited that her program boasted of allowing you to eat more, where the ones that I had tried before wanted me to intermittent fast and eat 1300 calories. And as an inventory counter, I’m very active and I just couldn’t survive off that much food.

So one of the biggest things that I got from WarriorBabe was my ability to face my emotional eating, and get in control of it. Because of the tools that I’ve learned there, I am no longer controlled by food. And I can’t even tell you how exciting and happy that is. I’m the only person in my house who wants to have the healthy lifestyle, which can make it difficult at times. But having the group there to support me is beyond words. It’s just wonderful to actually have somebody in my corner and somebody that I can vent to. And, I know all these Babes, they’ve got my back. I have learned how to be able to enjoy food in my day to day life. We had a birthday party in the office the other day, and I was able to have a slice of cake. No guilt, no problem. I just worked it into my day, and it was fine. And nobody gave me that odd stare ’cause she’s the girl who’s not eating.

WarriorBabe has given me the tools to head off my emotional eating, and to face the problems that created it in the first place. So not only do I not have that constant nag in the back of my head to go eat something, but I don’t even have the problems that created it. Or if the problems arise, I know how to handle them. I carry myself with so much more courage than I used to. And when I look in the mirror, I love what I see. I love the changes that I’m seeing. I love the pride that comes out, that I’m able to see every day. I love this program, and I love myself because of it.
