Hitch Fit Living Magazine Volume 2 - September/October 2015 | Page 40

Often, people don’t recognize me now.. I wave at people I know or strike up conversation & can see them trying to figure it out. I forget that I look so different than before. They tell me how great I look & I thank them sincerely & humbly because, while how I look now is great, the most important is how I feel both physically & emotionally. I feel 20 years younger and my life has truly changed. I have transformed in more ways than I ever expected. Because of Hitch Fit & Joel Salter, my losses are significant and so are my gains. What I LOST: 1. An amazing amount of body fat weight & many inches. 2. 9 total dress sizes (From an 18W to a size 2). 3. Being out of breath going up the stairs at home 4. Mouth breathing & waking 4 to 5 times every night. 5. Plantar fasciitis. 6. High cholesterol levels 7. Neck & back pain. 8. Feeling tired. 9. I lost severe knee pain (though it always aches). 10. Standing behind everyone in every picture 11. Buying ugly clothes because it’s all that would fit. 12. Crying in my closet out of frustration while getting dressed. 13. Being SAD about the future.
