It all began with a little faith....


           I am a daily facebook follower and watch some of my favorite business's online as well. When I saw a post Gente Bella had put up about a new weight-loss program I was excited! What made it even more exciting they were looking for 3 people to start the journey for FREE! I have really been feeling lost when it comes to my weight, and although I felt hopeful that maybe I could get selected, I didn't want to get too hopeful.
I quickly sent them a personal message letting them know I was interested, I didn't get an immediate response so I felt like my opportunity was lost.  I did give thought on how I could pay to do the program, but having our budget tight at the moment, I didn't feel right taking money out of our budget for my weight loss, my shame was already at an all time high... how on earth did I get back here after being so successful loosing 85 pounds a couple years ago?
       Well it really didn't matter how I got here, I was here and felt like it was never going to end! Then I received my first glimmer of hope, I got invited to an information night. At this point I didn't really even know what the program was, but knowing how Gente Bella did things, it was going to be good! I did go to the info night and it sounded great, but still not in the cards for me unless I could be one of the three lucky participants.
      Well someone must have been listening to my wishes, I was chosen to go on the journey along with 5 other ladies!! Yes I said 5! The owner of Gente Bella, Lesley Reid, had such a hard time choosing just 3 ladies that she doubled the numbers of lucky ladies, I was blown away!! I am not sure if she really understands how much this is a life changing moment... for me anyway!

So here I sit, not wanting to disappoint myself and those who put faith in me to be successful in this journey. Feeling blessed I was handed a 6 week kick start on my weight loss journey along side 5 other ladies whom I sure feel the same way! I am going to blog the entire adventure so I can reflect on how hard I am going to fight to get back my healthy body and soul. So here comes the reality...
