After coming back from World Salsa Summit earlier this year I was not feeling good about myself. I was already going up on the scale after being at my lowest weight ever the year before.
Then the pandemic happened and dance was over. So my only physical activity was gone. I was definitely in a shitty place, I did not want to be in any pictures and I was always hating what I saw on the mirror.
Around August Alex my husband showed me a post from
Georgiana (another fellow dancer) and I was shocked I was like wow she looks amazing then I went on to read the caption and continue to search about Gil and MT.
Boy did I know what I was getting my self into? NO. Was I certain it wold work for me? NO but something about the dance analogy that Gil used the first time we met on zoom just clicked.
I have been in many many programs before. Herbalife, personal trainers, no carbs, no sugar, no fats. I was able to keep it up for a bit of time but always went back to my old ways because I was always craving something that I couldn’t have, and after eating it I will feel guilty, and then punish myself in the gym or just feel crappy.
My relationship with food has always been complicated even as I child I was taught some foods are good other are bad.
In MT I discovered that food is just food and that you just have to be mindful of the amount. Being accountable for how much I eat was a big eye opener.
I lost 13lbs during the program (see picture: left Dec 2019 ; right Dec 2020) but my success and excitement does not come only from the scale, I have been able to see myself in a better light, better my relationship with food, make my meal enjoyable, my energy levels allow me to do more with my day.
The best part is that I did not have to give up any of my favourite foods!
I am so happy that I decided to give this a try and I made such an amazing connection to the ladies in the program and Gil that now that the program is over I miss them 
There is still lots of work to do and continue to implement all that I have learned through MT. Thank you to my Mighty Transformation
squad. You guys are amazing the support and connection we created despite being virtual has been a huge factor in the process.
Gil Mesina you are an amazing coach and the way you have structured the program it just makes things enjoyable and exciting. Thank you for your weekly feedback videos, for your amazing analogies that just make everything make sense, thank you for being vulnerable and showing us that we could be too and we would get amazing support! Thank you for being YOU!
Cannot wait to see everyone's progress in the future! This is the way!
