Chrissy's Journey

Hello Trust your Journey! I discovered your site in Fitness magazine last spring and I've been checking it and your facebook page daily ever since. I read your stories and adopted your mantra of "trust in the journey". I purchased your share bracelets, one to wear and one to give to a friend who lost her job just before her wedding day. I wore mine everyday and used it as a reminder of what I was working to do. I had begun a journey to lose 100 lbs. I can report to you today that I successfully took off 110lbs in the last year. Having a baby was hard on my body and the changes that occurred in me physically and emotionally were leading me to a place where I could not be healthy or happy with my life, and my family and my baby especially deserved more from me. I had to find my happy. I worked out and ate healthful foods until I started to peel back lbs and uncover emotions that led me to eat. I still work on the emotional eating everyday and I know my journey will never really end. At least now I can take my son to the park and fit on the slides with him and I look forward to having our pictures taken rather than shying away from the camera. From 260 lbs to 150 lbs, thanks to trust in the journey! I hope in my next life change the journey will also be kind to me. We are losing our house to foreclosure like many other Americans. We've lost a family business, my parents lost their marriage and now my childhood home is up for grabs. We hold our heads high as we pack boxes and forge ahead to make new memories and find a new childhood home for our son. We trust our journey will lead us home again. Thank you Trust Your Journey for being there as a mantra, everyday.
