Who is Gabby?

Who is Gabby? 

 

A little story about myself.  I always struggled with weight since I was 8 years old.  When I was 14 years old I weighed in 196lbs.  and for a 5'5 girl that was considered obese.

I really at no point thought I was overweight.  I was comfortable.  Until of course you have people make fun of you.  Mean boys telling you that you can't do it.  Popular girls make comment when you pass by them on the hallway. Or being rejected by boys because you were too BIG!

I felt heart broken. Every night I would cry.  I was dealing with a lot.  My dad moved out. My parents got a divorce.  I was hurting from the inside.  Food was my comfort.  I would hide boxes of little debbies in my room or overload on my plates.

My mom (my angel) accepted me how I was, but she also didn't mind if I ate a extra plate of pasta or double on my dessert. She wanted to make me happy :)

 

But in reality I was depressed and crying for help. In my sophomore year something clicked.  I always loved sports. Always loved basketball, tennis, swimming, etc...but never liked running.

 

My PE teacher taught Aerobics and made us run on the track.  I loved the Aerobic part, the running not so much.  

But I would run a lap and she will cheer me on and so on and so on.  I ran 2 miles on the track and did not stop once.  I ran it like a Turtle but did not stop.  WHY?
My teacher believed in me.  She kept cheering me on to complete it.  She was proud!

I started to be obsessed with running.  I would wake up at 4am and run, get ready for school and got home and run more.  WHY I was obsessed? RESULTS and because it was therapy. It was a way for me to run from my problems at that point.

Years went by and  I dealt with a lot in my life. Bad relationships.  Rejections. Bad choices in career. Self doubt.
Now at 31 years old I feel that  I have changed so much. Not only physically but more mentally.  What I mean mentally is that all those people that have tried to put me down, does not bother me anymore.  I have grown within.   I am a better person inside and out. 

Because of my two kids.  They needed a role model.  I am pretty much alone on this.  My relationships with their fathers weren't good, my mom passed away.  They have me to look up to.  So I WOMAN UP.

I became a Beach body Coach in March and I decided that my health is the most important thing to me. After high school I became a Alcoholic and a Cigarette smoker.  I still get Urges, but I think about my kids, plus is it worth it?

Last year in April I found a new addiction.  Obstacle Course Racing.  OMG! If you have not done one I encourage you.  You get a great feeling of accomplishment once you do one.  My journey really started there and later doing FOCUS T25 and drinking shakeology.

Because I am way stronger and faster than I was last year. 

Now even though sometimes I get FEARS because they will always be there, I have grown within as a person to learn to Face my Fears.
