I was just tired.

Tired of... buying new clothes just to have something to wear.

Tired of... straddling my legs to pick up a piece of paper off the floor.

Tired of... gasping for air after going up one flight of stairs.

Tired of... being described as "she has a cute face and a nice personality."

Tired of... being reminded "you have a high risk for hypertension and diabetes."

Tired of... being the largest one in the group picture.

Just tired of being FAT!!

I noticed my friend, Joanne was losing weight AND she works at night. How amazing is that?! Everyone knows you have to eat to keep awake at night. How is she doing it? I was interested. She told me about Brandon. Well, I told myself I would get a trainer as a gift to myself after nursing school. For awhile, after nursing school, I thought I didn't deserve to be fit and that was for other people-someone has to be fat-might as well be me. But then I thought, "Aren't you tired of being a loser?" You are a good person and you deserve good health. So I met with Brandon, excited to start a new life and a new attitude. This was my first time with a trainer and I didn't want to use diet supplements.

I have been with Body Works for about six months and every month I have had positive results toward my goal. You might think, "Why are you still with them?" Or "Can't you do this on your own?" For me, Body Works, provides a positive, motivating, and energetic atmosphere, where I feel I can reach my goals of physical fitness. They listen, encourage... okay push me. They make me feel I can do better. I am so grateful to Joanne who introduced me to Body Works because now I know I deserve to have good health and be sexy like her and all my other friends.
