Before Hey Sweetie's....I would like to introduce you to Anyika and hear her amazing journey and determination to her own story of her personal Triumph.  Weight at or about 130 When I first met her in 2010 she glowed with positivity. Anyika will instantly win you over with her effervescent smile. At that time she weighed around 130lbs and looked awesome! By the way she was one of my many clients I styled for, but hands down one of my Best Clients! So to able to share her story, it is an absolute honor! Please be inspired on how this young lady has not only taken control of her health but has totally transformed her way of living for her and her family.  Mr. & Mrs. Hunt Like many of us we have struggled with our body image so with that being said the first thing that comes to mind is Diet followed by exercise. Wouldn't you agree? With that being said sit back and read her amazing story: This is where I'm going to begin. My weight was in the 150's between 2005 and 2006. I was planning my wedding and like any bride I wanted to be a perfect one. I did a combination of diet pills and L.A weight Loss and quickly lost weight and got down to 120lbs, which was of course totally unhealthy. I didn't eat half of the time, or drink. So as you know anyone would lose weight under these circumstances, when all you're doing is basically starving yourself. After my wedding to the Love of my life, I was so happy and comfortable, by the time I turned around I had packed on 55lbs! Obviously I didn't learn anything. When the pills ran out, I couldn't control my eating habits and ate more than ever!! At the end of 2009 I was just plain fed up! I was unhappy with my weight, and my health. It was time for a drastic change! Frustrated I said "Forget it!" I tried one more short cut and lost 20lbs in the first month. Then before I knew it in one months time I had gained 30 more pounds uncontrollably. It was like my hormones were out of control and I couldn't do anything about it. "Enough is enough!" I took a long hard look in the mirror and told myself I was going to win this fight. No more short cuts! I decided to do it the correct way! "You can't take any shortcuts when it comes to your health." I weighed in at 185lbs this time! Grrr! So I took a different approach by counting my calorie intake and keeping it at 1200 without any exercise, I dropped 20lbs and I felt GREAT inside and out! I wasn't tired or cranky anymore. I then increased my calories and added in a workout plan. So from January 2010 to April 2010 I completely transformed my mind and body. So I thought this was the end of my struggles and at 130lbs I felt amazing!! But the cloud came over me again and there I was once again at my crossroads of my weight gain. A stressful life change arises and I did not know how to handle it and maintain my healthy lifestyle at the same time. I found comfort in late night snacks, but what's even worse, I took my husband and family with me on my decline.  After Anyika's weight gain of 20lbs. Still looking flawless, So here I was AGAIN! 2011 rolls around and I gained 20lbs. It crept up so quick! Something had to give, I couldn't do this to myself anymore. 2011 was coming to a close and I figured I need to really work on my mental state as well as my physical state. I started going to counseling and took a meditation course. I also broadened my education and enrolled in a health and wellness course and I renewed my nutrition certification! Yippee! The beginning of my triumph's. What I learned is that fitness is about mental, physical and emotional! This time I had my tools and there would be no going BACK! With that being said and after I STOPPED DIETING and started living healthy I weigh in at a healthy 120lbs now and I feel amazing. With my journey and my newfound knowledge I am now teaching others to live this healthy happy lifestyle, "The HEALTHY and DIET free plan!!"  After Wow now that is a story!!! Anyika girl you inspire me!!! Now sweeties don't EVER say it can't be done! Anyika is Living proof that anything is possible as long as you are determined to get there. Thank you so much Anyika for sharing your story with us. Xoxo  Happy and Healthy and Loving it!!  Courtesy of Static.uk Sweeties!!!
