YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's get started!!

Somewhere along your weight loss journey, you've stepped off track and are now looking for your way back. Gone are the days when you felt such confidence and excitement about your new life and, now well, you feel hopeless.  You may have been very successful with your initial weight loss, but it has began to creep back up on the scale.  You are DESPARATE for an answer.  STOP!

In this group, you will find support and guidance. Your foundation needs to be shored up. Look at it this way. If you purchased a beautiful home, had it inspected, but years later discovered that your foundation had cracks. What would you do? Paint the outside? Add new windows? Redecorate the living room? NO!! You would learn how to repair the foundation or find someone who could do it for you. You understand just how important it is to have a strong, solid, firm foundation. Without it, it won't matter how much curb appeal your home has for those passers-by.

Before my surgery I was 298 pounds.  I lost a total of 140 pounds, but slowly began to regain it after about 10 years.  I tried all the things that I felt would work like exercise, diets, smoothies, detoxes, etc. I would lose some, gain more. I knew I needed to go beyond the diets, beyond the basics. I yearned to find out my purpose. Was I able to live fully into my purpose in my current health? NO! I needed to assess my foundation, pray for a new blueprint, and take action to rebuild. This has allowed me to release the pounds again, but in a much more spiritually connected way.

I want to help you to reconnect with your purpose or, heck, DISCOVER it! I want to help you CRASH that CHATTERBOX in your head accusing you of being a FAILURE!! I want to wake you up to the idea that the path you are on is only part of your journey. Let's discover your COMPASS!
