We had the good fortune of connecting with Migmary Diaz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Migmary, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I am Venezuelan, I came to the USA 7 years ago. While here I gained significantly weight due to the lifestyle I led and the poor diet, to this was added a depressive crisis due to being in this country practically alone and far from my family, which made me eat more to calm these episodes of anxiety and depression. However, one day I looked in the mirror and I didn’t like what I saw, “it wasn’t me” and I decided to do something, I researched the best diets to lose weight and exercises to do at home on the internet and that’s how I started to change. my body and my lifestyle. Little by little I was learning more to eat and exercise and thanks to my perseverance and discipline I managed to lose almost 60 pounds. Today, even though I still don’t have my dream body (I’m still working on it every day), I feel happy and proud of what I’ve achieved; That is why through my social networks I seek to motivate people to exercise and lead a healthier life, and that my story inspires them to achieve everything they set out to do, because everything in this life is possible if you believe in you, if you have perseverance and are disciplined.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As I said before, the most exciting thing is to see all the changes, not only physical but also psychological and emotional, that I have achieved since I started a more active and healthy life; Undoubtedly, seeing yourself and feeling good about yourself gives you greater self-esteem and greater security to face any problem that comes your way in life. To the extent that you are well, the people around you will also be well because you will perform better as a person in any area where you develop, both family and work.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I live in the city of West Palm Beach, Florida. The places to visit without a doubt is the downtown where you can take a nice walk around numerous shops and restaurants of different specialties. The beaches of the city and the surroundings are also very beautiful and where you can have fun and have a very pleasant time. Nor can they stop visiting the zoo and museums that have a wide variety of animals and exhibits.
