From Burnout to Breakthrough:
Our Story in 3 Chapters
1. The Wake-Up Call
“I didn’t even know I had hit 400 lbs until the scale at the doctor’s office couldn’t read my weight. That moment broke something open in me.”
We never saw ourselves as “unhealthy”...not really. We were living life, raising kids, dealing with stress… and ignoring the warning signs. After Eric lost his mom to colon cancer, it hit harder. We were both obese, both tired, both avoiding the truth. Something had to change.
2. The Turning Point
“If you don’t take time for yourself, who will?” That’s what Eric asked me. It was the question that changed everything.
We didn’t start big. We started walking. We cried. We resisted. We failed forward. But day by day, the changes started to stick. We cooked at home, we learned about nutrition, we moved our bodies like our lives depended on it, because they did.
3. The Mission
“We lost 300 pounds together and gained a purpose bigger than ourselves.”
That transformation became the foundation of BetterChoices. Not a diet. Not a detox. A new way of living—real, practical, and sustainable.
Now, we help Black women just like us stop starting over and finally build the life they deserve.
"This isn’t about willpower. It’s about finally having a plan that fits your life."
