Meet Alexis... 

clothes, it would be for smaller ones. This weight was years worth of emotional eating caked on an athletic body. You wouldn't know there was another version of me underneath it all. But there is, I had seen her before, and I was, and still am, desperate to see her again.

​

A girlfriend asked me a few days after the new year if I was ready, and without a glimpse of hesitation, I said "YES!" It was the question I hated to hear, but yearned to do something about. So I finally committed to hopping on the bandwagon to good health, wellness and fitness, and here I am today. One month later, and 20 lbs lighter. I have found joy in the accountability partners, indulging in a delicious shake that takes like dessert, but is filled with super-foods and multiple sources of dense nutrition.

​

I am slowly healing this girl from the inside out; her baggage and all that comes along with it. As I heal her I am dedicated to show each of you reading this the real me and my journey. That includes the good, the bad, and the ugly! I am shedding the pounds like a Maple tree losing its leaves to the brisk fall winds. I am healing internal wounds that have come from losing a twin, the death of the father, the turmoil of a beloved step-father ridding himself of me to make his new family happy, the month long angst over whether or not my new born would live or die, betrayal of friends, and so much more. All of these things had been eating me alive and so I stuffed my face to mask the depression from neglect, turmoil and emptiness.

​

Don't get me wrong, I lived a very good life as a child. I was loved and I know that, but this feeling of emptiness, baggage, and being unfulfilled couldn't go on anymore. These were feelings that chased me into adulthood and I just really didn't know how to deal with them.

​

On this journey, I have learned so much about the body, food, nutrition, health, wellness, and so much more. I am eager to continue my journey, and to help people with theirs. We're all in this together. No need to do it alone! I'm so glad you have stopped by my page and I hope you will say yes to yourself and allow me to help you on your journey.
