It isn’t often that you come across someone sharing their personal details when it comes to weight loss, but guess what, I am about to change that. My name is Evelyn J. Ross and I am a weight loss trainer. Today, I help people struggling with weight issues, body image problems and self consciousness work towards better fitness in order to embrace their goals. My approach is to help people adopt a healthier lifestyle over a long term period which will deliver permanent results, and stick with them for the rest of their lives. My journey here has been very unconventional, and today, I would like to share my story with you.Believe it or not, but I wasn’t born as healthy and fit as I am today. Quite the opposite in fact – I was a “healthy” kid who turned to snacks and sodas way too often. As a child, I had perhaps unconsciously assumed the role of being an overweight person and become afraid of stepping out of it. For me, eating a little more than others and being slightly heavier was nothing out of the ordinary; it was my comfort zone and I enjoyed being there. As I graduated high school my weight was over 100 kilograms and climbing.
I remember most of my teenage years were filled with unhealthy choices, but at that time I was perhaps too naïve. Now that I look back at it, I feel I may have just given up and embraced the fact that this was what I was going to be like for the rest of my life. During this time, I met my boyfriend who made me feel special and loved for the first time in my life. At this stage I weighed 152 kilograms, but I wasn’t alarmed – I had someone who loved me right by my side and life was good.
It was a few months later that I started noticing that my lover was not all he said. There was another woman in his life, and when I pressed him about it, he finally came clean. I broke it off and the next few days were a painful ride. I didn’t cry or act out or plan my revenge. Instead, I made a decision right after this break up that I was going to change myself. I didn’t have enough time to be mad at the world and try and change it, but changing myself was in my own hand and that is exactly what I did. I was determined to lose weight and have a slim body that would allow me to wear the fashion choices that I liked, make me more social and outgoing, and make people like me back.
My journey through weight loss wasn’t easy and there were many times I almost gave up – but it was my determination that carried me through. Today, I share my story with you and others from similar backgrounds in the hopes that you will realize that the world is beautiful, and you can be beautiful too if you put your mind to it.
