The #BodyConfident Coach

Passionate. Dedicated. Resilient.

My name is Tabitha Julien. Here is my story. 

The woman you see, did not get here without a quite a few battles of the body and mind being won at an early age and throughout my life. My childhood centered heavily around appearances. As I graduated through adolescence my skinny frame wasn’t acceptable to those around me. So I was given supplements to keep my weight up. Transitioning into adolescence, my breasts were the first to grow and no matter what store we shopped at, no bra could hold my voluptuous breasts.

​

My body always seemed to be a problem. And ultimately, I began to internalize that false self-portrayal and translated into low self-esteem, anxiety, bouts of depression, and making decisions based on these unworthy emotions. I’ve spent money that I did not have, played with the fate

of my life, and deeply hated the best parts of me. You see, I thought I was kinda pretty, but my beauty could never outweigh “flaws” that I perceived each time I looked in the mirror. I didn’t have anyone who told me I was beautiful or to edify and encourage my budding femininity. At 267 lbs and fighting my way through a Biology major and a Women’s Studies minor, I wanted out. I wanted better for myself. My mental health barely made it through undergrad. In December 2011 I decided to undergo weight loss surgery. And so my #BodyConfident journey ensued.

​

The rise of social media and my weight loss ran parallel. And as I scrolled daily and saw women who were gorgeous. But looked nothing like how I’d seen in reality. However, I aimed for another level of

freedom in my #BodyConfident journey. The subconscious effects of social media ultimately led me to make a deposit for plastic surgery procedures. Procedures that led me down a road of medical malpractice, almost losing my life, and in debt.

​

The warrior spirit inside of me has fought through those battles so that I can write these words for you to read. For you to gain strength and hope from my story that if I can do it, so can you. I had to get my mind right, plain & simple.

​
