“In 2021 I probably had the toughest year of my life. I had a terrible car accident, involving my whole family, that left me broken in many ways. I first lost a lot of weight due to a broken jaw, but then very quickly started putting double the weight back on. I felt extremely self-conscious and depressed in my new body full of scars, bumps and now a lot of extra weight. And this is when I decided that enough is enough. I wanted to make a change. My goal was not just to loose weight, but also to heal my mental health from this trauma I’ve been through and fix the relationship I had with food. I was tired of feeling like a failure. Something had to chance.
I chose LFF because of Lei. Leiere and I have been walking a long road side by side. It all started in 2017 when we stepped on stage together. After my weight gain I just knew that she was going to be my saving grace. Of course I saw all the LFF girls’ transformations, but that was not my reasoning for joining LFF. I knew that she would understand how scary it was for me to change my “diet habits” and that she would support me in making this mental change. That is exactly what she did.
The biggest way that LFF changed my way of thinking about food, is that I am no longer scared to have certain types of food. When I started the challenge I was petrified of eating bread, but now I eat it and I don’t even think twice about it. Food is fuel and carbs are carbs, no matter in what form.
WOW!!! I am not the same person. I look at myself in the mirror now and I’m proud of what I see. Where as before, I couldn’t even bare to look at myself. Just thank you. I don’t think I have enough words to describe my gratitude towards you!”
