From too overweight to adopt children to a fitness coach with Bon Collins

In my early years, I dealt with my birth parents mental health  - at 5 they joined what I grew up thinking was a normal church, but as an adult learned was a cult -experienced emotional and physical abuse -was kicked out at 18 - met my husband (he is an autist but was diagnosed at 40 years old) - struggled to integrate into the real world culminating in multiple suicide attempts and poor mental health in my early 20s. -started dieting at 18 when I was told I was too fat (in reality I weighed 140lbs) - married husband. -experienced infertility - had an accident in 2009 in which face, neck, and airways were burned with steam - got poorly after, ended up in a wheelchair facing not walking -am stubborn - not only walked again but ran. - fostered - was set to adopt 2 foster children but the British system deemed me too overweight and so was denied at the last court date.   - transformed my health and fitness for me.   Losing over 125lbs.  Now qualified as a weightlifting and strength and conditioning coach and support others to do the same without the shame spiral of diets.    FIND BON HERE: www.bemore-bon.com Instagram:  @bemorebon Facebook:  @bemorebon YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv24tN27JBwY-OQgdtQRosw --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message
