It was critical to me to become her personal trainer.
I knew what she was going through; Right after my separation, the only thing that was using my broken heart was a meal.
Instead of making a big deal of it, I would reach out for anything sweet or salty. A fresh pear no longer did it. I needed chocolate or some other sweet & yummy dessert. I learned how to cook desserts, just so I could eat them. Before I knew it, I had gained over 30 pounds, & I was looking old. I had been a personal trainer for most of my life, & suddenly I looked like the people who were coming to myself and others for help. I could not bear to look at myself in the mirror, & yet I could not provide up eating. Eating was becoming a habit that was unquestionably hard to remove. I walked into the gym one afternoon, & my best friends confronted me. She told me I was no longer in shape to be a personal trainer & I had to lose weight. She put me on a regimen of exercise & diet, & stayed at my beach house for 3 weeks. It took him nearly a week before all of us saw the start of any change. I could finally exercise separately from wheezing & coughing. Within two weeks, I was down over 30 pounds & looking almost as relaxing as I did before my separation. I swore I would never go back to the old habits that got me into personal training. Whenever I see someone, enjoy my newest client, come in & request me as a personal trainer, I suppose this is because they trust me because I have been where they are now.
