This week in the Choose You Whole Body Wellness Podcast, we’re going to talk about food addiction. This topic is very near and dear to my heart as it is something that I have struggled with for the majority of my life and I still struggle with it to this very day.

I’ve lost well over 100 pounds and I’ve managed to keep it off for years now but this massive weight loss wasn’t a result of chasing the scale but chasing a feeling. Today, I’m going to talk about chasing that feeling of choosing you and putting yourself first! That feeling of looking good and that feeling of accomplishment because you know that you put in the work. I hope that this episode provides hope, guidance, and encouragement to anyone else who may be dealing with food addiction. Check it out!

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but things have changed a little bit around here. Welcome to the Choose You Whole Body Wellness Podcast! I decided to do a little rebranding to drive home the overall point of this podcast which is to go beyond the typical weight loss & and fitness topics and dig deep into overall wellness, and whole-body wellness.

I plan to cover all aspects of wellness including physical, mental, and emotional health. That said, today’s show features a return guest, Dennita Haller. Dennita Haller. Dennita is a retired Intelligence Analysis of The United States Air Force. She is also currently a college professor but more importantly, she was my supervisor in the Air Force and partly responsible for the woman I am today!

In this episode of Rockstar Mindset, I’m going to be sharing my CrossFit journey with you all. I want to let you know that if you’re a woman over the age of 40 and considering CrossFit, GO FOR IT! 

I’ve been able to lose over 100 pounds and keep it off, and CrossFit has been a significant factor in this. Prior to joining CrossFit, I struggled with food addiction and I never really lifted weights before. I attended traditional gyms but I only did cardio and I could never really get into it. 

I started CrossFit after my 40th birthday and I haven’t looked back since. I genuinely believe that anyone can do CrossFit with the right coach and modifications. Today I’m going to be sharing with you why I think that you should give CrossFit a try and I’m going to share the 5 ways in which CrossFit has benefited me.

The right people will help motivate you, encourage you, push you, and hold you accountable.

It takes a village and if you don’t have one, I will help you build one. There are great people all around you. The key is to first look at yourself and where you’re headed, that way you will know where to go to attract the people you need to help propel you to that destination.

3. One step at a time (Rome wasn’t built in one day)
4. Give where you are an expiration
5. Give yourself grace and allow yourself time to get to your desired destination

Listen as I share my personal experience with applying these tips to my own life and I will also break down how you can apply them to yours.

In this episode of Rockstar Mindset, I’m opening up all the way about my weight loss journey. I truly believe that sharing my journey will empower others that may be dealing with the same issues. I struggle with food addiction which causes weight gain, which leads to anxiety, and a host of other mental health issues. I literally tried everything to lose weight. I tried every workout regime, diet, and even unhealthy methods to lose weight.

At the age of 30, I finally decided to alter my body and have surgery. I underwent Gastric Bypass surgery and I lost a great deal of weight for two years after surgery. I actually lost over 100 pounds. Years later I would have a skin removal and muscle repair procedure also known as a “Tummy Tuck.” Having these procedures came with a great deal of criticism and scrutiny from people, even the people that I love most. People assume that I took the easy way out but I can absolutely assure you that there has been nothing easy about this process and I’m here to dispel those myths once and for all.  

I encourage you to listen to this episode with an open heart as my goal is to educate people on the less talked about issues surrounding weight loss and to provide courage to those dealing with similar struggles.
