  personal note from darshana

I just **LOVE** our clients!

Below is a transformational story about how Amy went from being a calorie counting exercise maniac (her words), to a person who lost weight, exercises for pleasure and enjoys the process. YEAH BABY!!! (That's what Alice her FWH counselor said)

If you were inspired by Amy's story please feel free to call us and learn more about our programs. Click here to tell us more about you and your health. We'd love to hear about it and support you in your food freedom. http://www.fruitionhealth.com/contactus.html

In health and appreciation,

"The Fruition program has transformed the way I live my life, my body perception, my health, heart and spirit. Before Fruition, I was a calorie-counting exercise maniac that couldn't lose weight and was stuck in a vicious cycle of craving, binging, sneaking, shame, guilt, frustration and self-deprecation. I was miserable, hated my body and constantly beat myself up for not having any will power.

A year prior to joining Fruition, I quit smoking and became a vegetarian. I was terrified I would gain weight after quitting, so started an exercise routine and bought a rice steamer. Long story short I was working out too much, eating too clean, depriving myself of protein and nutrients my body was screaming for and binging on all the wrong foods that made me feel good only for a short time.

Fruition educated me on nutrition and how to listen to my body. Food is power, medicine, and fuel. Now that I understand this, I have a much more balanced diet and lifestyle. I no longer need caffeine to feel awake, beer to have fun, sugar to feel happy or pasta/bread to feel full. I exercise, but do so for pleasure, to be in nature, to enjoy the sunshine, to boost my mood. When I stopped counting calories and jumping on the scale, I lost weight. These were all major shifts that required a lot of patience and compassion. Most importantly, I had to want to change. Fruition is a guide, but I am the driver.

It took a lot of courage to take the first step of recognizing there's a problem and then asking for help. I still have a long journey ahead and take one day at a time. A year ago, I wouldn't have had the patience for a journey… I'd want the solution now, I want to be fixed now, now now now! But I trust I'll get there and finally feel comfortable just sitting back to enjoy the ride. Thank you Fruition!"
