From Anti-Depressants to Body Proud Sheena Hales Inspires Others

Anxiety was a part of Sheena Hale's life since she was 18 years old. Gaining over 70 pounds during her pregnancy did not help. Neither did the medications.

Something had to change. It was Sheena's perception. Realizing that the 'weight doesn't just fall off' as she had been told, Sheena hit the gym and adopted a healthier meal plan. Wow! Weight was falling off AND antidepressants were no longer needed!

"It had been about 8 months since coming off the antidepressants and I was feeling better and more alive then ever. I could laugh whole heartidly and I felt free from the anxiety that controlled my life for so long".

Experiencing newfound confidence and loving what she was seeing in the mirror, Sheena decided to take her now 'body proud' physique one step further... the FAME World Tour competition stage!

"The day of FAME my nerves were a little uneasy but I got up on that stage and rocked it!! Losing those 70 pounds and then getting on the FAME Stage just felt amazing. I was so proud of myself for just doing it!!"




"I can finally say I'm body AND mind proud. A healthy lifestyle that includes strength training, clean eating and cardio can make you think,feel and look like a million bucks, I'm free :)"

What's next for Sheena? The FAME Alberta Championships, of course. "I have caught the competition BUG" she explains! And so did her husband, who after watching her experience, has decided to compete alongside her as well. FitDuos watch out!

Congratulations Sheena! Thank you for inspiring body proud to others and for reaching your body proud dreams!
