I got an email not long ago from a lady named Ciara, and she shared this powerful story with me about her daughter.

“On October 17, 2018, I had my rock bottom moment…and the extremely said thing was, it had nothing to do with me, how I looked, how I felt, how I perceived myself, or how others looked at me.

“My rock bottom was how I felt when I really looked at my daughter and saw my daughter struggling as she put on pants that I got her for her birthday, and seeing her disappointed face as she realized the pants were not going to fit…knowing that it was no one’s fault by my own and that no one was going to change it.

“It had to start with me. So on October 18, it started, and let me tell you it was a struggle.

“She was so not happy UNTIL…on October 19 she and I went to the Q&A with Cristy CodeRed in Twin Falls…and that’s when our lives were forever changed.

“She left happy and excited for her future.

“She started at 175 pounds and I at 176 pounds. A few months later (in February) she is at 150 pounds and happier and healthier than ever, and I’m at 141.2 pounds.

“CodeRed has saved my family in more ways than one and I am so grateful that I can now stand proud and say we are CodeRed Rebels alive and thriving. THIS IS MY WHY.”

Your kids are watching you..learning from you…depending on you.

Show them how to value themselves and their health by valuing yourself and your health. You have more influence than you think.

I know it seems like the deck is stacked against you, but remember: You’re NOT alone. Your Code Red family is here to walk with you and help you.

We’re all in this together, and we owe it both to ourselves and to the people counting on us to make our health a priority.
