I just wanted to check in with you all, I don't come by as much anymore. I'm more at My Fitness Pal or Fitocracy but I do check in here from time to time. I'm always just a message away too. I do get emails when someone sends me a private message here.

So, I just thought I'd tell all of you that I plan to become a Personal Trainer / Fitness Instructor / Nutritionist focusing on Bariatrics and Super Obese patients. Yeah... I sign up for Next Semester a few weeks. I know what I must do!!!

Joel Osteens message really REALLY hit me the other day. It must happen!!!

So, just as I have shared my story here with all of you, I will soon be sharing my story with thousands of others on a first hand basis. I really want to help EVERYONE SUCCEED!! I know it can be done, even if this is our first, third or five hundredth time working it.

Blessings everyone!!! :wub:

Awesome! I am sure you will inspire and help many people with your new career.

Congrats on following through and listening to your heart!

Congratulations Miss Diva! How great will it be for your patients to have a once fat now thin...councelor

Irene,

I knew you were special the first time I was on the forum. Reading this just gave me chills. You, dear one, have a personal message you can share (from a former morbid obese person..me.. hearing REAL people, choices and success is motivating) and for you to help others get healthy, learn what to do, choices to make and know they can succeed is a fantastic end play. Your personal success will continue for a long, long time through others.

Congratulations!

Sandy

Thank you... you nearly brought me to tears right now. Seriously!

I've been pushing this aside, even after all this time I didn't believe in myself enough to believe I could or even should do this. I never felt "good enough". But I am... and as hard as it is for me to say something truly and sincerely nice about myself is another step up that staircase to a better me!!!

Keep working it y'all!!

I absolutely adore Joel Osteen.... and my sincerest congrats to you girly and best wishes. You will ROCK in doing this, I just know it!

That's awesome! I have only been on the forum for a few days, but your comments are always so helpful. I wish you the best of luck. Your future clients will be in amazing hands!

Awww thanks!! I'm really looking forward to it!!!

Irene, I truly cannot think of anyone who would be better at this than you! Just like former drug addicts make the best recovery counselors, you will make an amazing bariatric counselor! Go for it!! You CAN do this!!!

Well heck I figure I'm already doing it, just should get creds and paid for it too! Thanks Lissa!
