There
was a ladies’ program at church and Suzette came to talk about hair
stuff, so I called her. That was about October of last year. I never
knew that she was a trainer or anything like that. So one day, she told
me I could come and check out one of her free classes and
then I came. At first, I couldn’t move but then I came back and I got
better.
I
have been trying to lose weight off and on for years because my
motivation comes and goes. After I had a baby last year, I wanted to
lose the weight but I just couldn’t get myself to start. But she gave
me that push.
With other gyms, if I don’t show up – that’s
fine, no one cares. But she calls me sometimes at odd hours at night
wondering where I am. That’s the difference, she cares. She calls me
and I don’t want her asking me what I’m doing or what I’m eating…I’d
rather just show up.
I
dropped from a size 18 – 16. Before I didn’t like shopping because I
could never find anything that fit, so it was a bad experience to shop.
But now, I’m shopping and excited. She does my hair and she knows me.
So now I’m standing proud because I know my hair will look good and I’m
working out…now it’s a full package!
