Life Before KickStart
How was your body before Trevor Kashey Nutrition?
Completely soft, inflamed and bloated
How did that (state of being) make you feel?
Embarrassed. Not myself.
Was there anything you were unable to do that you wish you could have done?
Not necessarily. I just avoided things that I used to enjoy because I knew it would be so much harder. Trail running for example.
During that time, how did your current state of being affect those around you?
I’m sure it made everybody in my life a little more comfortable because normally I’m the fit healthy out of the norm girl. But it truly affected my husband. We feed off of each other and he needed my support
The Moment Everything Changed
How did you hear about Trevor Kashey Nutrition?
Husband
What were your doubts and fears before starting the program?
Knowing how stressful my job is and being a mom and wondering if I would have the time to do all the weighing of food and tracking
What made you say YES anyway?
I said YES because I knew that understanding why I am eating was completely ignored in my previous program.
Life After KickStart
Where is your body/mind now?
My mind is what has made the biggest change. I used to think it was impossible and depressing and depriving to think about constantly living on a diet. This has completely helped me to understand that’s not what this is. I have the tools for a lifestyle, it’s truly not something negative, and it doesn’t deprive me of anything, but the body and energy level that I wanted to get away from.
How does that make you feel?
Empowered
What are you able to do now that you were not able to do before (mentally, emotionally, or physically)?
Say “no thanks I’m good”
The Ripple Effect
What positive impact did that have on others around you that you might not have expected?
Helped my husband stay motivated for his goals
Rikki’s Words to You
What would you tell someone who is reading this right now and is unsure about taking the next step?
You are worth it. And it takes some mental work to undo some of the things that have been done from all the years of living, and all the decisions made previously, some of which were made by others and not even you.
