 I have battled with weight my whole life and have never had a healthy relationship with food or myself, for that matter. 8 years ago at 220 pounds I began my journey and started searching for my “why”. At first it was about losing the weight and being “healthy” according to society’s standards. I lost weight but I still wasn’t happy, go figure. When I moved back to KC from St. Louis, I had a new job, new goals and down about 30 pounds but I was still struggling with being healthy both physically and mentally. I realized that my reason for being healthy had always been centered around someone else’s standards and I have never really asked myself “ what do I really want?” I wanted to be strong, confident and self-sufficient. I wanted to have a healthy relationship with food and myself. I wanted to eat food without worrying about how I was going to work off the calories.When I found Freight House almost 2 years ago, I found a gym that was unlike any other. The trainers and members are encouraging and supportive. With the help of the trainers I was able to build muscle and lose a few lbs along the way. Last summer I wore shorts for the first time since I was 18 and I cried very happy tears. I found myself feeling stronger and more confident and I was enjoying food in a more mindful and intuitive way. When the 30 Day Shred came back I decided to give it a try. It was a long 30 days but it showed me what I was capable of when I push myself and focus. The 30 Day Shred was a great way to end what I consider to be the last paragraph in this chapter.In the last 2 years, I have allowed myself to embrace and love my body, with all of its curves, muscle and cellulite. I have accomplished my “Why” and there is now way I could have done it without Freight House! This place has something special and I am forever grateful for the work the trainers and owners put into it.
