My Story: I Finally Hit Bottom by Sarah Northwood

I have had my struggles with my weight most of my life, but five years ago I had a health crisis. I have six children, hypothyroidism, and I was postmenopausal. I knew I had to find a predictable way to lose weight when my endocrinologist told me I was diabetic. Because I was facing foot surgery, I knew I couldn’t exercise my way to my healthy BMI, so my doctor referred me to the nutritionist at the hospital. She told me that I needed to begin eating six small meals a day- something high-protein low-carb. I felt so overwhelmed that I cried.

As a busy homeschool mom, I felt challenged by preparing even one meal a day, much less SIX! Soon after, my physical therapist told me she was a health coach and she was certain she could help me. After eight months with her encouragement to learn and install the habits of health, I was able to lose 60 pounds! My blood sugar was in the normal range, and I lowered my cholesterol by 100 points.

I never want to go back! My life is so much better now.

I have lots of energy, which I’m thankful for when I am running after my little grandchildren! Now I can run after them instead of watching them from my chair. I have more energy, more peace of mind, and more confidence. So many of my family and friends saw the difference in my life. They said, “What’s your secret?” so I decided to become a health coach so that I could share this hope and health with everyone who is ready to begin to not only achieve and maintain a healthy BMI, but to achieve lifelong transformation one healthy habit at a time. I really had no idea how lucrative it could be to work at this job, organizing my life around what matters most. I’ve gained victory and I can walk alongside you while you do too!
