Secret #1: How I lost over 100 pounds
At 12 years old I weighed 150 pounds and started Weight Watchers. I realized I was bigger than my peers, and this comparison grew worse. Despite my heavy involvement in sports and trying various diets, weight loss pills and remedies, the weight wouldn’t budge. I felt doomed and my binge eating got worse. I fell into a state of depression, making it difficult to enjoy life and feel comfortable in my own body. Health issues began to impact my life profoundly, including mono, acid reflux, kidney stones (which occurred three consecutive years in a row), gut issues, and stabbing stomach pain.
Until one day, I realized I was fed up with my ways of living and that I didn’t need to feel like this anymore. I decided to make a change. I stopped taking my birth control pills and antidepressants and committed to addressing the root causes of my emotions, mindset, and bad habits. Most importantly, I shifted my mindset, which laid the groundwork for a renewed commitment to understanding my body and releasing the weight for good.

I started researching and eliminating processed foods–including sugar, dairy, and gluten, to incorporate healthier options into my diet without being overwhelmed by the foods I was addicted to, such as bread and refined sugars. I completed a 30-day challenge that helped me intuitively eat healthier, introduce new foods, and learn new healthy alternative food swaps. From there, I applied the creativity I learned from cooking nutrient-dense meals during the challenge to my entire health journey, discovering what worked best for my body through trial and error.

I eventually found the balance I needed to sustain a healthy lifestyle, and the best part, was it finally started to feel effortless.

Secret #2: How to stay consistent
You may have heard the cliché phrase, “consistency is key.” While that’s true, ACTION is just as important—if not more. Action creates momentum, momentum fosters consistency, and consistency builds discipline, which ultimately drives your results. The key to developing consistency is simply to just start.
Yes—it's really that simple! For a deeper dive into this action model, check out my blog post: “How to Stay Consistent & Disciplined.”

Secret #3: The psychology behind weight loss and mindset
Mindset is the starting point for weight loss. The mind is incredibly powerful—what you think about yourself is often a reflection of who you are in the mirror. For me, the biggest barrier to losing weight was my own mindset. I created numerous excuses and held onto negative beliefs and fears that kept me stuck in a fixed mindset.
In my Mindset for Healthy Living Workbook you’ll find everything I learned to change my mindset through my five step method. Don’t miss out! When you transform your mind, you transform your life (and body).
Once I took accountability for my thoughts and became aware of them, I began replacing negativity with positive affirmations. I shifted my mind into a growth mindset where anything felt possible. The key is to flip the switch in your mind to believe that you can succeed and to actively reframe negative thoughts for success.

Secret #4: How to stay active by finding passion in movement
At the start of your weight loss journey, fitness can feel overwhelming. You might not know which sport to try, what class to sign up for, or even which gym to choose. The good news is, you don’t need fancy equipment or a detailed plan to begin. Simply start moving and explore different options to find what excites you. Begin with something manageable, like daily 20-minute walks with the goal of reaching a mile. This will help build your cardio endurance, and you might eventually develop a passion for running, as I did. Checkout my blog post: “How to boost your cardio endurance.”
Consider attending a local yoga class to experience stretching and breathing. Yoga helps you live in the moment and gain awareness of your body’s strengths, mobility, and flexibility. Another option is to join a CrossFit or Olympic Weightlifting gym to build strength and create a routine with scheduled classes. These environments can also offer a supportive community and new friendships with others pursuing similar goals, promoting your new identity.
The key is to explore various activities and find what you enjoy. I’ve explored swimming, running, CrossFit, yoga, and weightlifting—each phase of passion has enhanced my strength and driven me forward on my health journey.
Also, consider getting a personal trainer to help hold you accountable for your workouts and show up with passion + planned action. Your coach can make all the difference in accelerating your journey. Learn more about my coaching services and get started here!

Secret #5: How to love yourself and build confidence
Learning to love yourself throughout your weight loss journey is crucial because how we view ourselves shapes our reality. Embracing self-love, no matter where you are, transcends a positive energy of love that propels you forward. When you live in the realm of love, self acceptance, and gratitude, your actions begin to reflect love which helps build your confidence overtime.
One simple practice I found effective is saying positive affirmations to myself each morning. For example, I say aloud in the mirror, “I love myself and I am confident.” This daily ritual continues to boost my self-love and confidence.

Secret #6: How to intuitively eat without restriction
A common myth surrounding weight loss is the idea that you have to restrict yourself and stop eating the foods you love, to see results. This is the complete opposite of true and once you realize you can still enjoy the foods you crave by making healthier swaps is the day you crack the code to weight loss.
Incorporating healthier, nutrient-dense meals into your lifestyle may initially seem challenging, but it can actually be both delicious and easy. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be bland or restrictive. By finding easy go-to recipes that satisfy your cravings while incorporating healthier alternatives, you can achieve your goals without feeling deprived. Save 20% during my FLASH SALE andgrab my Recipe Book with 34 high-protein healthy and easy recipes that helped me learn how to eat clean and intuitively, without restriction.
When you stop restricting yourself, you train your mind to eat more intuitively. Intuitive eating involves understanding your hunger cues, cravings, and what your body needs to refuel. Developing this awareness helps you find balance and freedom in your eating habits.

I believe in you!
Once I learned these key weight loss secrets and integrated these new habits into my daily life, I successfully lost over 100 pounds (117 pounds to date) and felt confident in my skin for the first time in my life, all thanks to my new lifestyle that I dreamed about for years.
