Hi. My name is Darlene Caron and I am a wife and mother of three young adults.
I have tried just about every diet that is known to mankind. Some of them worked for a while, some of them failed within days. I have had gym memberships, but I have always felt more comfortable working out in my home. That way I could make sure that no one was watching the old fat woman work out. Sorry but that is how I saw myself.
I was the woman who sat on the side lines while her very athletic family lived. I was the woman who missed her son's wrestling match because running, if you could call that running, to the other end of the Portland Civic Center, had me so out of breath that I couldn't make it in time. I saw them raise his hand, right before I started crying because I had missed it. I was the woman who was an embarrassment to herself because I was getting bigger and bigger. The mirror was my horror shop. I stopped looking and I learned how to do my hair and make up without it. I was the woman who was so depressed by her outward appearance that I would emotionally eat, which of course made me more depressed, which led to eating more. I just wanted to die and I knew if I kept it up I would.
I was sitting at my computer in May, wishing that I wasn't so overweight, wishing that I could change my life but not knowing where to turn. Then I saw a post from a young lady that I had taught at the local christian school. It was mind blowing to see her transformation. She looked amazing! Soon after talking to her I decided that if she could do it so could I, I really wanted what she had.
I bought the 21 day fix from Beach Body. I gave it my all and after 21 days I had lost 6.8 lbs and 12.9 inches. I was feeling pretty amazing but I knew that this was just the beginning.
I did the 3 day refresh and lost 4 lbs and 2.1 inches. Then came PiYo with Chalene Johnson. I was starting to realize that I was worth it, that I could do it and for the first time I was truly happy. So, I wanted to share my story and help others by becoming a Beach Body Coach.
Now, I am doing CIZE which I love. I am getting fitter physically and emotionally. The emotional is hard sometimes but I am learning. I am doing personal development each day, reading my Bible, reading Made to Crave by Lysa Terkeurst (Amazing book!).
I am running a challenge group with other women who are looking for the same motivation and help that I need. As iron sharpens iron.
I am loving life now. I am finally living it. With this post I hope to inspire others to live life as well.
If you are looking for someone who understands what having no hope looks like, what being alone in a crowded room is all about, or if you are just trying to let the "real" you, who is trapped inside come out...then please message me or comment below. I would love to have the chance to chat with you, to show you that your not alone and that their is someone who truly cares for you!
What are you waiting for? Are you scared? Yeah, so was I when I first messaged my coach. But let me just say that this could be the moment you have been waiting for. This could be the turning point of your life. This is your time, your choice...so are you gonna reach out and take a chance or sit there hoping things will change. It's your choice, but I am on the other end of this post, just waiting for you to make a decision.
