Profession: Athlete
When she decided to take control of her problem with weight gain, a problem that began when she was eight years old; she had a long difficult task ahead of her. However, she never regretted her decision or looked back. She's now aware of the pitfalls she fell into with bad eating habits. From that time to age nineteen, she was sedentary and classified as obese from the body fat chart. Throughout her school years, she was ridiculed with names like butterball, fatty, wide load, two ton, etc. She was depressed and hurt, so she hid away in her room and overate. She lacked confidence in sports and resisted her mom’s attempts to keep her active. Inactivity and overeating made her gain more weight. After graduating high school, she had boyfriends whose eating habits were no better if not worse. From McDonalds to Jack in the Box, fast food was my primary food intake and they would supersize! She did make several attempts to lose weight; a weight loss camp, trainers, aerobic classes, etc. However, she always fell off the program and gained everything back. At age nineteen, things changed for her and she became committed to changing her life. It was a few days after Christmas which she had spent gorging on sweets, when she decided to go to a local gym and take a kickboxing class for fun. When she got on the scale, she had maxed out at 181 lbs. Shocked, she realized she was close to 200 lbs, not acceptable for her tiny 5’3” frame. She went ahead and took the kickboxing class which she really enjoyed because of the amazing instructor. Her name is Denise Hart and after class she mentioned that she was also a personal trainer. Caitlin was so impressed by her physique, she signed up that day.
