Welcome to my blog!
My name is Stefani and I am on a journey.
My journey started October of 2014.
I had been sick and dealing with health issues for over seven years. I would catch every bug and could not eat ANYTHING without becoming sick and being in the worst pain. Up to that point, I had been to more doctors than I could count and had more tests done than I even knew existed. For seven years I had doctors who thought I was making it all up, call me crazy, and treat me like a nuisance. I had tried every diet, tried removing gluten, and even had allergy testing done. At one point, I was even put on a month long diet of just liquids per doctors orders. By October of 2014, I was simply DONE. I was done with doctors and done being the girl that everyone only knew was always sick.
But October 2014 was the month my health started to change. I joined a challenge group with Beachbody and started to drink Shakeology every day. It honestly was my last ditch effort and I was very skeptical it was going to work. Within two weeks, I was shocked! I could eat food and it didn't make me sick. I was able to go all day without pain of any kind in my body. Not only was I feeling more amazing but I started to realize that I hadn't loved myself in a very long time. To be able to look in the mirror and not hate what I saw was something I hadn't been able to do in a very long time. As the weeks went on, I went through a lot of healing, inside my physical body and in my mind.
It wasn't just the nutrition and fitness that did it though. It was the community I became a part of that was there on my ugly days and my awesome days. It was the ladies that encouraged me in the moments I wanted to give up and was frustrated. It was the accountability I was given through my coach and the other challengers. It was life to me when I was ready to give up on my health for good. I am starting this blog because I know that I am not the only one who has struggled or is struggling with health issues. I know I am not alone in the fact that I still struggle some days to love myself and my image.
So I want to invite you to join me.
Join me as I continue on my journey to being the best version of me I can be.
Join me by sharing your story. Your struggles, victories, and lessons learned along the way.
Join me so that you don't have to do it alone.
