Not Candie Coated

How Fitness Saved My Life !!

Hi there my name is Candie Kent , I have struggled with my weight my whole life, I never lost my "BABY" weight like most people do . I was Bullied in high school because i wasn't the socially accepted "HOT" body image. The constant name calling and degrading remarks i lived with day in and day out caused me to suffer with self confidence and self image issues. I began to hate what i saw in the mirror and always questioned why i looked like this and not like everyone else ....

The next chapter of my life was soul destroying , heart breaking and all round terrible time i would never wish on anyone... I met someone who i believed was my my knight in shining armor, my prince charming . We were together 19 months when i landed up having gall bladder complications ,i battled for a year with extreme pain and being sick all the time, i tried to fix it with alternative means and medication .... Just when i thought i was getting better i landed up in the emergency room. The next morning i was in theater having an emergency operation to save my life. After having the operation i was left with scars on my stomach which added to my self hatred of my body......

After all of that i finally felt like my life was starting to turn around , it was finally going in the direction most girls dreams about having the love of their life ask the single most important question.... will you marry me?... We were engaged and i felt some type of self worth .....

We were getting married ...

2 years passed all the wedding plans were made and we were getting married ... It was the most beautiful day My perfect dream wedding day and incredible 2 week honeymoon. . Our guests even spoke about it for months afterwards... I was floating on air ....

Life carries on once you come back from your honeymoon, i could feel my now newly married husband pulling away from me... i tried to be "the perfect wife " as time went on i felt more unwanted, unloved and there was someone taking his affection away from me...after being sick and been driven to the brink of the breaking point ....

The worst fear of my life was about to happen .... My husband on 10 months and 29 days walked out and deserted me ...even though i was Heart broken I still fought for my husband .... a week later i received an email with the tag line that Broke me beyond repair ... DIVORCE

I was in a hole i was broken and i was done... I was going to end it all...

As the divorce proceedings started to take shape , all my gut feelings had been correct and to have people phone you and our family telling you they have seen him and her out together just made it all the more concrete ... He had been cheating on me ... not only did this cheating ruin a marriage but broke up two relationships.

My self worth,my life and My very essence had been taken from me.

With the love , support and help from my family and pulled me out ...and i threw myself into the gym..

The first week was the hardest to get up and walk into a gym when you feel so transparent and vulnerable, as the days passed i started to meet the managers and trainers in the gym and each day they would welcome me with a smile.
Slowly but surely my self esteem and belief in myself grew, As i began to see the results it got me more addicted i wanted to push harder , i was working out twice a day seven days a week.
Four months after i thought my life was over i had lost 17kgs and 87 cm.
Other people who had been following my journey and saw my dedication they asked to train with me. i was training people... Do i have a future in the fitness industry...? that thought would NEVER have crossed my mind .....

When i least expected it a guy i had knew for 3 years and sorted always had a strong connection with came into my life and everything once again felt like it was falling into place ...
I made a huge dissension to sell my car to go and join the dynamic team at Trifocus Fitness Academy , My new start , new life and new career.

i was bitten by the love bug again and slowly i started to put my self second once again i stopped gyming like i was and my studdies slowed, i wanted to be with my new man,,,,

Once again my whole world came crashing down two months in and he was gone, one watsapp message and it was all over ... i was back down in that dark hole again, Crying , questioning why self worth ... ...

Once more my pillar of strength ,the life that flows through me was my mother .. Pulling me out and giving me the power to see what my life WILL be ..

So i sat down in front of a computer, scouring and researching every inch of the internet for a 12 week program to kick start my gym journey once again ...

I found my Revenge Body 12 week Transformation program and i was going to rock it I am currently in my first week of my program and i am feeling like my old self .. my studies are back on track , my body is sore and i have never felt better ...

I will continue my story in 12 weeks .....
