Every pound that ticked down wasn't to get skinny, it was to become better. Healthier, with a better mindset, for me, for my kids, and for my clients. My weight loss has become part of my recovery.
Amanda Black's story is one of incredible resilience and determination. Growing up in a toxic environment, Amanda faced emotional neglect and molestation, which deeply affected her self-esteem and led her to seek comfort in food. Her weight struggles began early, and by the time she reached her highest weight of 468 pounds, she was also battling substance abuse. But Amanda didn't let these challenges define her.
In this episode, she opens up about her journey to recovery, shedding 320 pounds through sheer willpower and a commitment to self-love. She shares how maintaining a schedule and confronting her emotions head-on played crucial roles in her transformation. Amanda also talks about the impact of COVID on her routine and how she found alternative ways to stay active.
Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how difficult the past, it's possible to reclaim your life and prioritize your well-being.
