Success stories are often pared down to “I had a weight/fitness issue; I made a decision to change; I followed a program (self created or popular commercial plan); I had success.”
Every time I would read these success stories in magazines or online when I was NOT feeling successful I felt more demoralized than inspired.
The stories I woudl read were always personal and there was inevitably explanations of how the person had gotten themselves into the condition they were in and usually there was some grand revelation brought on by a random comment from a loved one or a photo taken. But when I would read these stories I always felt a lack of connection. I never really understood the journey that took that person from revelation to success. I feel that even more now that I have my own story to tell and so I am going to take you on the journey with me. Maybe you will find something to connect with or just enjoy a little inspiration from another woman on a journey in life.
