About Me

My photo
My name is Angelina and until March of 2014, I was a horrible eater. I had little to no self control when it came to fast food, soft drinks, red bull, candy, anything! So, diets and weight loss programs didn't work. I couldn't stick to them. It wasn't until I decided to do the Advocare 24 Day Challenge that I saw how the disgusting, horrible food I was eating made me look and feel. I chose to change my life and take back my body.
