Hey there. For years my life felt like it was going sideways. I had goals and dreams but the follow through was shaky. I had setbacks that turned into seasons and in some cases those seasons turned into years. If you’ve ever felt like you lost decades of your life to mistakes, distractions, or circumstances, I want you to know you are not alone. And I also want you to know that you can come back stronger.
Coming back doesn’t mean pretending the past didn’t happen. It means learning from it. The inside/out approach has taught me that nothing is wasted when you’re willing to take the lesson. Every false start, every pause, every moment of doubt adds to your story. The more I’ve been able to accept my past instead of fighting it, the more I’ve been able to move forward with clarity and strength.
If you’ve been on a weight loss journey for a long time, you know how easy it is to look back at all the diets, all the failed plans, and think you’ll never figure it out. But here’s the truth. You’ve been building resilience this whole time. You’ve been learning what doesn’t work for you. And now you’re better equipped than ever to build something that will actually last.
Coming back stronger starts with one choice. It’s the decision that no matter how much time you feel you’ve lost, you’re not done. You are still here, and that means there’s still room to grow. I’ve had to remind myself that progress is always possible, even if it looks different than I imagined years ago.
It’s not about erasing the sideways years. It’s about using them as proof that I can handle struggle and still keep going. It’s about looking in the mirror and saying, I may not be where I thought I’d be, but I am exactly where I need to be to take my next step. That perspective is powerful.
If life has felt like it’s been off track for years or even decades, I want you to know this. You can always come back. You can always rebuild. And when you do, you won’t just be the same person you were before. You’ll be stronger, wiser, and more capable of living the life you’ve wanted all along.
If you’re ready to take that step, I’d love for you to join me in The YLF Experience. Together we’ll build from where you are today, not where you think you should have been years ago.
