DALLAS – November is “National Diabetes Awareness Month” and according to the American Diabetes Association the most common type of diabetes can be prevented by simply eating more healthfully, becoming more physically active and losing a few extra pounds. To motivate women to make a commitment to transform their health and fitness, Dianna Forsberg is sharing her personal story of how overcoming an unhealthy lifestyle led to her becoming an award-winning professional bikini athlete, fitness model and fitness spokesperson.
“Each day we all have the ability to change our health and fitness, so that our lives are fulfilling and empowering,” said Dianna Forsberg. “By sharing my personal journey of transformation, I hope to inspire others to start making lifestyle changes that will positively impact their overall well-being.”
Forsberg’s list of over ten professional fitness competition accolades and awards, could lead one to believe that she has been in the fitness industry for numerous years. However her health and physical transformation only started three years ago as result of several health related issues. During 2010, Forsberg had a breast cancer scare, suffered a miscarriage, endured months of internal bleeding and was told she had the colon of a 55-year old male. She was also depressed and had several bad habits that included overeating and drinking too many alcoholic beverages. She was extremely unhealthy and visited the hospital over three times that year. It was during her last emergency room visit, that she finally realized exactly how much her bad lifestyle choices and eating habits were negatively impacting her body and health.
“I had a light bulb moment and knew that I had to make some serious lifestyle changes so that I could take back control of my fitness and health,” she said. “That day I made a personal vow to get fit and to never turn back.”
Forsberg made a New Year’s resolution to begin a 12-week transformation challenge through a well-known body building website. After spending long hours perusing the website, she became intrigued and inspired by the many success stories of woman that had made complete physical transformations. Forsberg was motivated and became fully committed by changing her diet, working out and remaining consistent with nutrition. By the end of the 12-week transformation challenge, she had successfully lost weight and gained a new found energy and confidence. Forsberg was the healthiest she had ever been in her adult life.
“I looked and felt like a new woman,” she said. “My new body inspired me to enter my very first body building bikini competition.”
In 2011, Forsberg entered the “Muscle Mania Texas” fitness competition. Being that it was her very first time competing, she was both excited and surprised when she won fifth place. Since then, she has gone on to win over ten fitness competition awards and recognitions that include 1st Place Masters at the “2013 NPC Dallas Europa,” 2nd Place Masters at the “2013 North American Championships”, Overall Champ at the “2012 NPC Oklahoma Battle of the Bodies” and 2nd Place Masters at the “2012 NPC Adela Classic.” She has also made several appearances and has been featured in several fitness publications that include “Planet Muscle Magazine”
In addition to competing professionally, Forsberg is a health and fitness coach and spokesperson committed to helping everyday people meet their health and fitness goals. By sharing her story of health, fitness and transformation during “National Diabetes Awareness Month”, she hopes others will be inspired to take back control of their health and fitness by getting fit and never looking back.
