Tiffany grew up active and healthy. She played varsity sports in high school and stayed active throughout college and into her 20s. But by the time she hit 35, she was miserably unhealthy.
"Throughout my late 20s, I gained over 100 pounds during three pregnancies in four years," Tiffany told POPSUGAR. "Then, as the mom of three small kids, I never made time to take care of myself and my health." This led to more weight gain and a growing number of health concerns that went ignored.
By the age of 35, Tiffany weighed 315 pounds. She was exhausted and sick all the time, had become extremely sedentary, and had stopped participating in much of anything. She developed a chronic cough from constant acid reflux and said, "I had become so disconnected from my own body and health that I was able to ignore all the signs of a serious issue that I was having until I ended up in an emergency room having an emergency hysterectomy."
It was while Tiffany was in the hospital recovering from that surgery that she realized she was far too young to be so sick and so out of touch with her own body and health. "I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I decided right then and there that I was going to fight for my life and my health and that I was going to be in the best shape of my life by my 40th birthday."
