Why this Teenager is so valuable to the Health and Fitness Industry
In her own words and she gets it!
In her own words and she gets it!
Like many people out there in the world, when I’m bored or stressed I eat. My name is ShannenMarie and although I’m only 17, I’ve been struggling with my weight for five years. That may not sound like such an outrageously long time but as far as I’m concerned, those five years were five years too many. At 12 years old my family moved from New Jersey to Arizona and that is when my bad habits began to develop. In New Jersey I was an active kid and a diligent student. For quite a few years I participated in sports such as gymnastics and martial arts. Unfortunately moving really threw me for a loop. With few friends or activities available, I was often bored and began eating to pass the time away. The stress of high school was what really piled on the pounds for me. Every kid wants to be pretty and popular and the scrutiny made me incredibly self conscious, which of course only worsened my eating habits. At the end of my junior year I was five feet tall and 153 pounds. I’d tried every miracle weight loss solution in the book and nothing worked. Enough was enough, to say the least. I decided to give Natalie a call because I realized that no matter how many stars I wished upon, hope wasn’t going to magically change my body into that of a supermodels overnight. Everything boils down to hard work in the end and with Natalie’s help I’m learning how to eat right and am finally seeing results. So far I’ve lost over 20 pounds! Sure, it was hard at first but Natalie kept me focused and motivated. I know I still have a lot more hard work ahead of me but this is a change I truly want to make for myself and the success I’ve had so far keeps me going. Now the only thing I wish upon a star for is a vegetable that tastes as great as chocolate.
