You know the drill. You know the story.

Hi, I’m Amy. I have lost 64 pounds and blah blah blah.

But you don’t know this one.

Hi, I’m Amy and I gained back a bunch of weight !

I’m guessing you haven’t heard that one yet. Well, let me tell to you. It’s the truth that nobody in the weight loss industry ever wants to talk about. Yep, I’m going there. It HAPPENS. It’s a struggle. The last two years have been a struggle. You know my life changed just a little bit.

Here we are at Thanksgiving! Notice I made Nat stand in front of me to hind myself!

We bought land, we built a custom house, we hosted a foreign exchange student, my son is a senior in high school, and what another excuse can I tell you? Oh, and I hurt my knee a little !!

You know I blame the house because of the stress.

I blame Natalia, our exchange student because I wanted to show her every awesome thing about America …which we soon figured out was mostly food and traveling! You know funnel cakes, homemade favorites, local famous stops... and well FOOD!

And then also Colton, bless his heart he did not even know he was the reason why I was gaining weight. I wanted to enjoy every single fun memory as the Mom of a senior. Which, I guess is concession stand food, cooking, Sunday Funday, Quarantine life... and

I guess fun is food. I’m not sure?

And then of course with that comes a small amount of weight gain. OK, a lot of weight gain...

It wasn’t all at once. It was 2 pounds at a time. Seriously, no lie! I would gain 5... and drop 3 back off. Gain 5 again and drop 3 back down.... those 2 pounds I NEVER LOST! Well those little damn things ADD UP over time. To be EXACT they add up to 30 pounds over 2 years! Read it again. I know. I’m a fraud, right? To admit ….. 30-pound weight gain in my industry is shameful!!!!

The little 2 pounds adding up over 2 years! From 130 pounds to 160!

Bittersweet picture. Cute baby…. huge arms.

It all happens in a spiral downhill SLIDE. One thing leads to another. One cheat meal turns into a day off, then a week off, next you find yourself miserable and uncontrollable. You lose your desire to want to run or even walk, you sleep more, and you get lazy! Come to find out when you add food and laziness together it’s an equal awesome balance for weight gain. Amy, you know this. This is not new news to you. You lived a good part of your life for 12 years with the same damn equation.

Wake up. Go back to what you know. Go back to what made you feel. Go back to those confident days. The fun days. The days when you could work all day dragging calves and come home, and run 2 or 3 miles. Go back to that girl.

Why the heck did you overfeed that girl? Why did you let her slip away? Why the heck did you let this Amy come back into your life?

Well... I don’t know. SHIT...It happens. It HAPPENED. I’m sad about it. I’m super sad about it. I do not like this feeling, I hate it. It’s like you get so caught up in everybody else’s world that you forget to live in your own life. While coaching hundreds of people on their successful weight loss journeys and to finding their new happy self I let myself go.

Until there was this one day…. OK, I lied not just one day. But like a bunch of days added up in a row that I could not take it any longer. And so on THAT day. That breaking day I decided it was enough. I couldn’t handle it anymore. PLUS Chris posted this picture on Facebook and ..... WELL .... it was more than I could stomach handle!

That’s all it took.

Guess what, I’m BACK.

Amy’s back.

The fun Amy.

The outgoing Amy.

The crazy Amy who decides to run 4 miles in one day.

As of September 1st..... I’m BACK. AND down 17 of those damn 30 pounds!!!! Back into jeans I couldn’t even wiggle over my thighs and DAMN does it feels GOOD!
