HER PROGRAM CHANGED MY LIFE

The truth is, I never really liked my body. When I was a teen and a dancer, I was the dancer without the dancer body. In college, when low rise jeans were the trend- I cringed. But then, when I hit my 20s and started working in the city I was suddenly SO busy that I often I forgot to eat, and suddenly the weight was falling off. And thus began a 20 year horrible habit. Restricting. Skipping meals. Over exercising. SO MUCH CARDIO.
For a while these unhealthy habits “worked”…until I turned 40. 41 to be exact. The number on the scale jumped over 8 pounds (which for me, was a lot). No matter how much I exercised (sometimes 2x a day), or how much I restricted my eating the weight wasn’t budging. I was bloated, exhausted, and just not sure what to do.  I needed to make a change. When I reached out to Lauren my hope was to lose the weight and learn how to eat for my body.  The weight came off (rather quickly) and I did learn to eat for my body. What I did NOT expect was how much Lauren and her program would change my life. (And that is not an exaggeration)She said I was “tired and wired”. And she was right. Going a million miles a minute but not fueling my body. My stress and anxiety were through the roof. The weight came off FAST. I was eating a TON! Full, healthy, balanced plates. I was working out LESS. Suddenly I was waking up without my alarm in the morning. My body was transforming. My clothes were loose. I was taking more time for myself, walking, breathing, not obsessing.

I am now about to end my 3-month program and I can’t even recognize the person I was before. My stress and anxiety are SO much lower. I’ve learned how to listen to my body, that it’s “OK” to have the slice of cake, that carbs are NOT the enemy, that veggies REALLY rock my world, and that the scale doesn’t control my brain. Oh, and I finally love my body. THANK YOU Lauren!
