A Haitian American woman born and raised in Brooklyn who found a way of tackling my lifelong weight problem. Carrying excess weight most of my life, I was constantly reminded of the issues that I could face because of this. Issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems to name a few because I had family members who suffered from them. While health issues were a major factor, the excess weight also played a major role on how I viewed myself. While I loved myself very much and would not consider me to have a low self esteem, I found that I was unhappy with how I felt and looked at times which I attributed to the weight.
My weight fluctuated for many years due to fad diets which I would commit to for a couple of months but would never give me the results I wanted. Sure it allowed me to look good for an occasion or even a season but once I was off the diet, I often reverted back to where I began, if not at an even higher weight. I was pretty much fed up and gave up but then I found something that worked for me. It changed my way of thinking. I realized the problem was that I was too focused on losing weight and not focused on changing my mentality of choosing to live healthy. Once i decided to make a conscious decision to include eating healthy, not dieting, and including movement, exercising, in my daily routine, I became happy even before the weight loss.
People noticed the change in me, both physically and mentally. They noticed that while I was losing weight, I was different. I had a different attitude. It was different then when I had lost weight in the past. I was happy. I was living because I was not so focused on what I could not eat because I had changed my eating habits because I wanted to eat to be healthy and not to lose weight. The weight followed. The change caused people to begin asking questions. I was unrecognizable. My transformation was inspiring people and I could not believe the attention I was receiving. The more attention I received, the more I realized that my purpose in life was to help others by teaching them to transform their mind, body, and spirit, just as I had done.
What started out small and personal grew to be huge and popular. I was constantly being approached and congratulated that I began to have internal conversations about how to respond to the questions and even interest in what I was doing. It was the interest of others that created a spark in my mind to create FabzFit. I made up my mind that I wanted to help
others and drew on my belief that we all have a purpose in life. Everyone is unique and has something to offer in life.
FabzFit was the hardest and yet most important project that I ever worked on. The reason it was so important to me was because FabzFit was created out of working on my SELF and I wanted to share that with others so that they could learn how to work on themselves also. FabzFit is there to remind individuals that while it may be difficult to achieve your goals, it is not impossible, and you do not have to do it alone. I can help you be accountable for you. FabzFit is here to help others who are inspired by Fabienne’s example and WANT to make a change.
Life is a challenge. So let's challenge YOU!
