Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle


Dec 11, 2019

In this episode, we talk about your pain being someone else's gain. The test that you went through has created the testimony and you're able to now share that with other people - Don't forget how powerful that is. Talk about finding the silver lining, right?

I mean, talk about taking a bad situation and turning it around for good.

I am grateful for all the times I struggled. Be grateful for the times that you might be struggling right now and be grateful for the time you might be struggling in your weight loss because this is going to make such a great testimony.

Some day, when you become a leader or you become a Code Red coach or you go to spread the Code Red message, this is going to be your testimony. This is going to be the story that hooks people in and they're going to gain from your pain. They really are. 

It's a tremendous gift. I mean, it's kind of sounds sick and sadistic, but enjoy the struggles. You can enjoy your life even in the middle of the struggles. You really can. You can just sit back and say: “All right, what else you got? I'm smiling.”

There are other people who are going to benefit from your struggle and maybe it'll help you kind of keep your chin up a little higher and just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

That's all you can do right now. Just keep trucking forward. You can totally do this. You're a rebel, you're strong.

I just hope what I share with you in this episode helps put things into perspective for you. Stay tuned.
