Strangely enough I find the classes at DF relaxing. It's an hour that I don't have to think about things. My husband often yells at me to stop thinking. I have very few memories of my life and my kids growing up. They always ask mom do you remember the time? And I almost always reply no. I have so much of my life to work on.

The gym recharges me to Melissa, I always come home to my family with a smile on my face, even if my body is tired my mental is recharged and refocused....it never fails! The mental 'breakthrough(s)' of this program are so much more valuable, like Kerri reminds us once we can brake some of those barriers the nutrition and exercise will follow, but if we try to do it the opposite way...almost 100% of the time we fail. With my degree in exercise science, nutrition and certifications I know what to do, but over the past 15 years my weight has fluctuated dramatically...the mental is the missing link every time, at least for me. This program has helped me stay positive, I have definitely had negative days since we started but I want more positive, i need it and I desire it. Food has a very strong hold over me, but I am learning to manage better. One bad meal no longer has to turn into a weeks worth. My tools and graditude journey pull me back to my commitment every time. Keep channeling yours they are powerful:)

My life has been pretty much nonstop stress for the past year, and just when I think it is getting better, I seem to get thrown a curveball.

2 1/2 years ago I decided to try to find inner piece. It started with leaving the job I was at for 20 years. That job was 70 hrs a week and constant stress. I gained 175 lbs, a ton of gray hair, a very negative outlook and constantly on edge with a short fuse over that time.
