Hey so im not from QLD so I couldn't really use the 12 week I challenge at your new transformatio Centre but I want to share my story anyway. Im 22 years old and my entire life I have had low self esteem weight problems and been an emotional eater my parents divorced when I was ypung and a lot of tragedies and bullying through my life contributed to this I n found I lost myself in started acting dofferently to fit in ibam someone who thinks everyone shoul be free to be themselves and that everyone is beautiful but because of wanting to be accepted I became so judgemental of myself because everyone else was nd found myself judging others which upsets me. My weight has constantly been up and down at my heaviest I was about 78kg which for someone who's pretty short 162cm is alot of weight to be carrying. Id go through stages of being really motivated but the depression i suffered most my life would always find a waynto catch upto me and beinbring me right back down. About six months ago I got asked to tell a bit about myself and I found I didnt know what to say I honestly didnt know who I was id been trying so hard to fit into this world that I didnt even know what my favorite colour was it sounds weird I know but I didnt know if I actually liked my favorite colour or if it was my favorite because someone I wanted to be like had itnas their favorite and I started thinking more and realised I felt that way about everything notnto b mention myself my body i was miserable I needed to chang. I saw your clean eating guidlines page poppong up in my newsfeed and decided to have a look and when I read what clean eatong was decided look up more. UnfUnfortunately I am studying full time so there is no way I could afford any of the guidelines out there so I did my own research I looked up recipes and rules about clean eating and liked every fitness or health page I could find on instagram and instarted yoga, pilates and body balance to help my mind and get back into exercise. I find itnhard with clean eating as it can be quiet expensive and I only have what info I can find so sometimes I lose track and dont get it right but I have worked so hard and in the last six months or so I have gone from weighing myself at 73kg and crying on the scales to 60.8 and feeling amazing I dont get bloated or feel sick ineat regularly smaller meals and drink more water then I thought was possible. I still need to do a lot of toning up which im finding hard and I know that when i do the scale weight will go up but I also know muscle weighs more then fat and im ok putting on weight if its muscle. I still have self esteem issues quiet badly I get anxious in public and worry about what people think of me far too much but I have come such a long way and im still working so hard and its great that there are so many pages outbthere full of inspiration and recipes for free that I can look at and get inspiration and motivation from. I wont ever give up i will keep working to make myself a better person not just physically but mentally and socially as well money does keep being a set back at the moment but I wont ever let it stop me and I just want to thank you for starting it all my life is better because of what I learnt from your page.
