15 months ago I nearly died. In January of 2017, I had to go to the emergency room because I had been having trouble breathing and was severely fatigued all the time. I thought I just had a very bad flu, or possibly pneumonia, but I was not prepared for what I was about to find out.

I really believe CrossFit has saved my life. Around this time last year I was 298 pounds. I was in a deep depression from the loss of my little brother and I was using food to cope. I would say to my friends. “I eat because I am depressed and I am depressed because I eat, it is a vicious cycle.”

So this is the beginning of the story, I started doing Crossfit in July of 09. I was an alcoholic in recovery and I'd used food as a means of getting sober, this cost me an 80 lbs increase in weight, a herniated disc and what was left of my dignity.

I am happy, strong and incredibly healthy, but that hasn’t always been my truth. After making some lazy and unhealthy choices in the first 3 years of mother hood and while enduring deployments as a spouse of a soldier, I saw many of my friends getting weight loss surgery to surprise their husbands upon their homecoming I wanted that too!
