Getting fat was the best thing that ever happened to me. I know that sounds nuts but hear me out.

The picture on the left was the reality check I needed. My life was out of control, and as a result, so was my eating. I spent years hiding from the world. Presenting a false persona to colleagues, friends, and family that I had it all together, but my reality was far from it.

My life revolved around food. I would engulf an entire baguette while obsessively thinking about what I’d eat at my next meal. When I saw that picture, I knew I needed to change.

Why Leslie? Because she knew what it felt like to be a binge eater. Every single Instagram post felt like she was talking directly to me.

She understood how frustrating it was to feel out of control, but she also understood the psychology that allowed her clients to achieve lifelong results.

Leslie changed my life!

She encouraged me to let go of the timeline and start living my life as if I was already at my goal weight.

She taught me that I was worthy of happiness today, not just when I was thin. Yeah, I’ve lost a lot of weight and that feels really good, but nothing feels better than knowing who I truly am. I didn’t realize I was so lost until I found myself.
