Like many people, I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life. As a result, I’ve been a serial dieter for a large chunk of it too. I have tried so many things, none of them sustainable, and always ended up feeling defeated. I had heard about counting macros back in 2020 while I was involved with a CrossFit Gym, but it seemed overwhelming to me. Fast-forward to March 2023 and I was feeling defeated because I’m at the highest weight I’ve ever been, including when I was pregnant. I knew I couldn’t continue at the weight I was — physically, mentally or emotionally. I also wanted desperately to start finding a way to love myself - for my own sake and the sakes of my children. I ended up pulling the trigger and hired a Macros, Inc. Coach and it was the best decision I could have made for myself. From March 3 until now (June 1), I am down 25 pounds and am continuing to lose. During that time, I also was able to wean off my medication for anxiety and depression entirely. My monthly cycles haven’t been regular in years and are now regular again. Napping was a favorite hobby of mine before - I rarely have the need for a nap anymore. Not only have I shed pounds, but I’ve shed toxic mindsets about food. I’m eating 1800 calories a day, and I am steadily losing. I haven’t cut out carbs, I haven’t cut out alcohol — I can have a girls’ night out or a date night with my husband and not fall off track. I’m not starving myself. I’m not depriving myself. I’m actually learning how to sustainably fuel my body in a manner that benefits me and I am the happiest now that I have been in many years. Megan is an exceptional coach and I cannot say enough about her. On my down days, she picks me back up and reminds me of how far I’ve come. When I need encouragement, she’s got it. When I’m celebrating a win big or small, she’s celebrating with me. We exchange recipes and talk about life and she gets me - more than I could have expected. I am not done with my weight loss journey yet, but for the first time ever I feel confident that if I stick to what I have learned with Megan through Macros, Inc., I will hit my goals. Choosing to hire a coach has been life-changing to me and I am so excited to see what the next three months bring! Major thanks to Megan and MI for the support, encouragement and for teaching me a sustainable way of losing and living. ♥️
