As I got to talking to her more, I learned that she was getting ready to change her life! She's starting the whole 30 diet on Monday.
Talking to her, reminded me a lot of my self, she said she's scared, she doesn't like he way she feels anymore and just doesn't feel good.
Even if she didn't want it, I offered up some advice and this is what I said:
The first two weeks blow. They suck. There's no sugar coating that. You're not eating all the things you want, you feel tired and you're always hungry, they suck!
I remember my first week of workouts after going hard core paleo, I was tired, crabby, dizzy and I always had a headache. My body was going through major withdrawals, but Kirk kept promising it would get better and it did.
I started seeing the weight drop again and I felt, for lack of a better term, cleaner.
She also mentioned that she had never really had a good support system, you can't do this without someone or a group of people backing you. No way!
I started making friends at the gym because I knew I didn't have support at home so I had to find it elsewhere and some of those people are now people I couldn't live without!
We talk to eachother when we want to eat a big bowl of ice cream, have a bad day on the scale or when we just need a simple "you're amazing" text message. Everyone needs that, regardless of what you want to succeed at, right?
I'm so happy I met her and I can't wait to watch her crush it! Just get through the first two weeks, girl. You've got it!
