My journey has not been easy; however, I have learned so much in every trial along the way.
When I was 13, yes 13, I became a LIFETIME member of Weight Watchers™ ! In 2010, I had major hip surgery and could only do water aerobics during my recovery. I wasn’t sure if I would ever be able to exercise on “land” again. In 2014, I hit an emotional/self esteem all time low, and at the same time, hit an all time high number on the scale! My marriage was in shambles and I desperatly wanted to save it. I started walking to clear my head, and hopefully lose the weight. I walked 1 lap around my neighborhood, then 2 laps… which led to jogging from 1 mailbox to the next and eventually running/walking 5 miles per day. I began teaching fitness classes, running/walking 5 miles per day, and starving myself. Definitely not a good combo.
Exercise was a great release mentally, and combined with my lack of eating, I got my “dream” body! I thought my “dream” body would make my husband fall back in love with me, and more importantly, make me love me. Guess what? It did neither.
While at my goal weight in 2017, I decided to get breast implants. Surely this would be the spark my marriage needed. Despite all efforts, our divorce was final in 2019. Shortly, after the divorce, I had a whirlwind romance and married my childhood crush in 2020.
Now, let’s talk Covid. Was there anything affected by this madness? The gym where I was teaching shut down. I was devastated, but determined to stay connected with everyone. I started teaching my classes virtually, which led to the creation of Jennifer Ludwick & Co., which included nutrition coaching.
Since implant surgery, my body had not felt right to me. I expressed my concerns to the plastic surgeon; however, I wasn’t heard. After years of multiple symptoms, including 45 pounds of weight gain, I was diagnosed with Breast Implant Illness. In May of 2021, I had Breast Explant (removal) surgery.
So, here I am again… my whirlwind romance ended as quickly as it began. I don’t understand God’s plans, but I trust Him wholeheartedly. God is refining me in the fire, that’s for sure.
In November 2021, I launched my 1:1 faith based life and wellness coaching. I know God is calling me to help women in this area. My story has many twists and turns, but one constant is GOD and His guidance! I know He has big plans for my future and for my business.
For a fresh start, I am changing my name back to my maiden name, Eanes. My business will now be called Wellness with Faith – Life & Wellness Coaching. “For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 niv
Thank you for taking the time to read my story!
Although I don’t know how my story will end, I know the one that holds my future in His hands, my Lord, Jesus Christ.
