In todayÕs episode, Amanda Sobey shares how she became permanently disfigured by a disease called Lymphedema and how she felt traumatized in learning that there was no cure. She candidly opens up about her journey of living in denial of this chronic and progressive disease - one that caused her leg to become engorged and puffy as the daily pain and discomfort increased, revealing what it felt like to endure feeling deformed, ugly and weak and knowing that her life had suddenly and without warning or consent, been forever drastically changed. Her journey has been a long one, but through learning to channel her indomitable will in the right direction, it has been one of increasing victories. On top of being a single mom of two, she is a full-time fitness trainer and licensed nutritionist and has devoted her life to helping people with LE and other underlying conditions transform their lives by making gradual changes in their lifestyle. Amanda worked tirelessly to learn all that she employs today in her own life to stay healthy and fit and has dedicated her life to sparing others from the years of agony, depression and despair that she had to walk through to arrive at where she is today.
