My Size 6 Dress

I am so happy to have worked with MOVFitness. I met Matt at the Arthur Murray dance studio late 2006. At the time, I was a manager in the company and had been in the business over 5 years. Like most my age and comfortable in their job, I had let my body go. I asked my doctor what to do and he claimed I had a thyroid disfunction. I didn’t really understand the details, but by looking at the rest of my family, I assumed it was genetic and I could do nothing about it.

"Matt told me thyroid dysfunction was a bunch of BS"

Little did I know that my knowledge of health & nutrition was far from complete. When I first talked with Matt, he told me the thyroid disfunction was, and I quote, “a bunch of BS.” I didn’t know what to think. His certifications and other clients definitely impressed me, but why would I listen to him over my doctor?

As time went by, I continued to see those around me who were on his program lose weight and they loved their workouts. My curiosity got the best of me. Finally, I asked him to have a meeting with me. I was ready to do whatever it takes. Well, almost anything. He asked the most absurd thing of me. He wanted me to buy a size 6 dress. What?!? He said he would start training me after I committed to believing in his program. My first step of commitment was to buy a size 6 dress. I can now confidently let you know that at the time I was a size 14. So you see how absurd this was.

Well, I guess I wasn’t that excited about his program. I thought it was a little silly, so I put it in the back of my mind. A few weeks went by and I saw the same people seeing even better success. I couldn’t stand it. I wanted to be in that group!

One more time, I went back to Matt. I was hoping he’d be more compassionate seeing that I needed his help. I asked him what I should do. He was persistent about the dress. He gave me a few ideas on where to go and even told me that I had to spend at least $400 on it!!! Ah, this was ridiculous. I was excited that he believed in me so much, but scared since I never had even shopped in the stores he was talking about. I had never been that small in my life!

This time, I gave in. I actually went shopping for a size 6 dress. I couldn’t believe it….
