I don’t want to be ashamed of my body

Lore Mendez

I want to give a special shout out and recognition to one of my friends Lore Mendez.  She is super passionate about her own health journey and she share with me one day that, “I don’t want to be ashamed of my body anymore.”  She was trying to become healthier and learn to love herself and found that some people made fun of her and tried to hold her back. She loves the Team Beachbody network because everybody is so encouraging and helps you grow into the person that you want to be.  She has gotten rid of 20 lbs so far with the Beachbody Challenge and also learned that she didn’t have to hold onto people in her life that don’t support her and love her.   I am SO proud of you Lore and excited to see how much you learn and grow in 2016.

“Before I started with a Beachbody program I felt ugly, ashamed of my body, sad because none of my clothes fit me, and I was  told that I was fat and I should watch what I was eating.  Since starting with Team Beachbody I now I feel happy, proud of my hard work, and more important, healthy. I’m so happy that my old clothes fit me again.  I don’t want to feel what I was feeling before, I don’t want to use loose clothing because I was ashamed of my body. I don’t want to hear from my Dr that my BP or my cholesterol are too high. I was depressed before starting with Beachbody and I don’t want to go back to how I felt before and I don’t want anybody else to feel that because unfortunately society can be hard with overweight or slightly fat people.  I heard from someone who was supposed to love me and protect me, that called me names.  That can hurt even if is as a joke or “to help you” realize you need to loose weigh. I want to be that positive and encouraging support to others in their journey.   I got rid of the extra 20 pounds and also got rid of the person that made fun of me too,  now it’s time to love myself and be stronger than before!”
