the peas and their reasons
Beth and Alessiah also struggle
with their weight and
begrudgingly agree that Pamela
and Clover are on the right path.
Beth came on board at about the
same time as Clover and
Alessiah with a history of weight
issues. From being too thin for
much of her life to being
overweight as she enters mid-life,
she is constantly in search of
that magic healthy weight for
herself. She figured that if she
was going to try to help keep
someone else motivated, she
had to keep herself motivated
too. So, she's back on her
exercise program and eating plan.
What it basically comes down to
for the Peas is this, we have a
dear friend who needs our love,
encouragement and support to
achieve her goal of becoming a
healthier, more physically fit
woman who is fully able to
participate in life!
We look forward to helping
Pamela along her journey to
continued weight loss and
improved fitness. The
transformation so far has been
amazing and we're excited to
travel the next year with her.
Alessiah, Clover and Beth
Hi, we are the Peas: Alessiah,
Clover and Beth. You might be
wondering why the three of us
decided to help Pamela on her
journey. We all have different
reasons and thoughts on the
subject, but we have one basic
mission: to help Pamela achieve
her goal of losing weight in order
to be a strong and healthy woman
who is able to fully recover the
mobility and quality of life she lost
while being fat.
Uh-oh. . . there is that word . . .
FAT . Believe it or not, most fat
people know that they are fat.
Pamela realizes this and is
working hard to do something
about it. When someone is
dancing around the word, she
outright says it for them. "The
word you're looking for is fat! It's
okay!"
Her humor helps us all keep the
serious task of helping Pamela
regain her fitness, fun and
exciting. Each of us think
Pamela's humor is wonderfully
contagious. We also firmly
believe that pretty much
everything in Pamela's life would
make for great reality TV! We can
totally see her being a
best-selling author and getting on
Oprah based on her honesty
about life and her experiences.
Alessiah said that she wished
she could have helped out more
with the first 100 pounds and we
wholeheartedly agree that she
should have! HA!
Okay, we all wish we could have
helped more with the first 100, but
we're definitely on board for the
remaining 100 pounds.
The whole idea about the
motivators came about when
Alessiah was about to get married.
Clover made a countdown chart to
tick off the days until Alessiah's
wedding. Because Pamela envied
Alessiah's chart so much, Clover
made her one that started tracking
her weight loss beginning at about
the 75th pound. You can see the
original chart on this site.
Clover has had her own struggles
with weight loss after having two
kids. She knows that eating better
and exercising are the way to go
and since this is also Pamela's
philosophy, the two of them
bonded quickly on the topic.
Resisting temptation has always
been a sticking point for both of
them, even though they know that
it's a huge part of the answer.
