Hey there! I’m Tara. A wife, mother, fitness professional and a recovered obsessor of diet and exercise.
For most of my adult life I have tried to gain control and change how I look by using diet and exercise. I have fought many years of a lonely, mental battle. I spent years caught in the cycle of depriving and bingeing.
I was so exhausted mentally of all the constant thinking of food. When can I eat? What will I eat? Will there be enough to eat? All this coupled with the fact I was trying to exercise my way into losing a certain amount of weight or changing how I looked, I was FINALLY fed up with how I was living.
I began working through solutions to trust myself, gain confidence and finally be free from the mental drain I lived with for over 15 years.
My faith in Jesus has sustained me through this journey, and I have come out on the other side stronger, more confident and I have so much more mental energy and time to devote to what is really important in my life.
If you’ve gotten to the place of “throwing your hands up” and you’re ready to find freedom from the rules of diet & exercise you’ve established in your life….
If you’re ready to learn to trust yourself, find a healthy relationship with food and the workouts that are best for you….
Put your big girl pants on and lay the cookie down. It’s time to be accountable for your time, your life and your calling!
