I know some of you are thinking…Hey, I do the same thing…well looking back, I will tell you right now, that s the wrong way of living! In fact, I wasn t healthy or fit at all, despite my aerobics addiction .

Later, I learned I didn t need them at all, and in fact, they were probably destroying my normal fat burning metabolism making weight loss even harder and seemingly impossible! I learned so many lessons the hard way, but that s okay, because now you don t have to make the same mistakes I did.

One of the biggest mistakes I made prior to becoming pregnant was basing my identity around a number on the scale, doing whatever I could to keep that number at or below my so-called target weight .

I hated those pills and how they made me feel.
