Hello to all of you,
And a very special thank you to my
hero - Tony Little! I'll tell you how Tony Little
changed my life - and I do mean, he changed my
life.
My husband passed away, after a long illness two years
ago and after he died, I began to feel I had died that day ,
too. I didn't want to live anymore. I didn't care how I
looked, I cried all the time, couldn't sleep enough, wouldn't
go out of the house.
Eating and sitting on the couch were my only
activities. I ate everything in sight, especially chocolate
and cheesecakes. Day by day, I was getting fatter and fatter,
and I had no energy at all. I didn't even have the energy to
put on a bit of make-up or comb my hair.
Part of me wanted to die and a tiny part of me was
hoping for a miracle that would change my life.
Then one day Tony Little was your guest. I listened to
his story - it sounded familiar. I hadn't been in an accident,
but what I felt inside were the same feelings he talked about.
And I remember he said, "You can do it."
I believed him and I called and ordered his Target
Training video tapes. When they arrived, I just sat and
watched them at first, but then I started exercising along
with Tony as my personal trainer.
Within a week, I had reached the advanced level, and I
felt energy returning to my body and my depression seemed to
be subsiding, too. I didn't need the chocolate as a mood
elevator anymore and I was feeling better just knowing I was
doing something good for myself. I even started putting make
up on again.
Instead of spending time crying, I'd put Tony's tapes
in the VCR and I'd exercise. I didn't feel tired, I felt
stronger and I began to feel hopeful, instead of hopeless. The
exercises were easy and fun.
Here's the best part - within 1 month, I had lost ten
pounds, but it looked like much more, because none of the
clothes I had fit me anymore. I had lost so many inches, I had
dropped from a size 10 to a size 5! I hadn't been dieting and
yet my new jeans were a size 5! Boy, I felt great!
I felt alive again and believe me, I wanted to live
life to the fullest. I was able to return to work and as the
months passed I finally got over the deep depression I had
endured.
I've been exercising along with Tony for over a year
now, and I know I'll never stop. Tony gave me the inspiration
and the motivation I needed right in my own home when I was at
my lowest time in life and he still does today when I'm at my
highest peak in life. Last summer, I had never worn a bikini
in my life and I bought nine of them. I look better now than I
ever did and I don't feel like almost 50 years old.
My daughter and I are always mistaken as sisters. She's
30 yrs. old and no one thinks I'm her mom. I've even started
dating again (and by the way all my dates are with younger
men). Maybe someday I'll meet someone very special and marry
again, but in the meantime, I'm having a wonderful
life.
Last October, my daughter and I went out to Los
Angeles and appeared in Tony's new Infomercial. Meeting Tony
was an experience I'll never forget. He really cares and he's
a wonderful man. He gave me a new body, but so much more. He
gave me back life and there are no words I can say that can
express how much that means to me.
As Tony says, "Conceive, believe, achieve." It's become
my motto in so many ways because it works in all situations.
We are all blessed that Tony Little came into our lives. He
truly is a beautiful, caring man and I'm so happy he's my
friend and personal trainer.
Thank you for allowing me to share my story with you
all.
Sincerely,
Fran
P.S. I've not had to diet and I've used nothing else
other than Tony's tapes ever since I first started with them.
And I'm still a size 5. Life is great, isn't
it?
