hello, wednesday! i have a slightly better outlook today vs. yesterday. one of my closest friends, suzanne, sent me a book as my reward for finishing my third 5k, she also happens to the editor on the book. soon after the UPS man dropped it off i ripped open the envelope, saw her inspirational message and began reading until soon i was at page sixty. many passages stood out to me but this one spoke to me:
this weight loss journey is an act you must figure out. you’ve spent way too much time feeling bamboozled, lost and defeated. now is your time to bring forth the realization that the choices you make, and how you take care of your health is significant in your world. – pg 31
you might be asking yourself, well, what is the book melissa?!? the book is called, burn your fat pants, and it is more than just a book. it’s a club for girlfriends to support one another and to provide the inspiration you need to find yourself to be happy with your body, mind and soul. i haven’t finished the book yet, but i know suzanne wouldn’t send me something if she didn’t believe in it and honestly she knows me well because it’s exactly what i needed.

I am so thrilled that you are loving the book. I am a member of MBFC and it has changed my life forever. I do not “diet”. I now live a fit life style that allows me to do what ever I want and still feel great about myself. As Deanna would say “Diets have a beginning and an end” so remember your not on a diet you are changing your life style to live the life of a fit chick with the body you are currently in and to love yourself more. You are going to love the rest of the book. We all love Suzanne dearly she is such an amazing woman and an amazing fit chick herself!! So glad she shared the book with you.
Cheers,
Genelle

Yay! I am so happy you are enjoying the book. When I first read the manuscript, I realized there was something special there. It’s far more than a weight-loss book. I think it’s empowering.
When you were mentally beating yourself up over your race, I knew it was time to share the book with you.
Happy reading! xoxo

Yay! I’m so glad you are reading Burn Your Fat Pants! Hi, I’m De’Anna and I am the Author of BYFP and the Founder of the Mind
Body Fit Club. I felt compelled to write this book and share with women the ‘real deal’. Dieting is for marketing companies, living fit is for people. For years I struggled with weight, body image, low self-confidence and finally I just got tired of beating myself up. So, I went seeking for a new way….and I found it! Only I didn’t have to look very hard, because it was within me the whole time. All of us have the ability, and resources to change our mindset and live life in balance. I’d love to share a gift for your blogger audience!? The MBFC has a very powerful weekly coaching call that is exclusively for our members~I’d love to gift you last night’s call….it was very empowering!!! email me: deanna@mindbodyfitclub.com
In the meantime, know that the weight loss journey is all about….
Desire. Courage. Action.
You Got This!!!
