After photo sessions at Power of Fitness Gym and in the desert here in Palm Springs and now having dinner with Juliet at the Ace Hotel, there were some big secrets I had found out about this amazing woman in our brief time together. Juliet Banks is very active on BodySpace, the online community on Bodybuilding.com for people interested in health and fitness, and I had seen her many times online.

There Were Some Big Secrets I Had Found Out About This Amazing Woman In Our Brief Time Together.
I knew that she was a Mom of 3 and had built herself a life around being fit. Juliet managed to look great and stay on top of working out and training others also while taking care of her 21 year old son Brandon. You see, Brandon was never expected to be 21; born with Cerebral Palsy and Dandy Walker Syndrome, a congenital brain malformation. But through very pro-active care by Juliet, Brandon is now a young man even going to Las Vegas with his Mom for his 21st Birthday! And along the way Juliet became an advocate for other families facing such dire health care problems and she even once ran for Congress.

Was Never Expected To Reach His Current Age Of 21.
But there was one secret Juliet kept hidden; it was too painful for her to re-visit. She had made her way up to weighing 239 pounds. Taking care of her son, raising her family and working to help so many others had taken it's toll and Juliet was not taking care of Juliet. Bad eating habits and no exercise racked it up. Every time the kids heard the doorbell ring they would yell "PIZZA" because of all the pizza deliveries. That ended and Juliet took her life back.

Juliet Spent So Much Effort Taking Care Of Her Family
She Wasn't Taking Care Of Herself And Hit 239 Pounds.
A change in diet alone took 60 pounds off her right away. Then into was into the gym where she found her next love, working out. And that working out took her to being a trainer, led her to continue her adventure in health and fitness and even standing on stage and winning trophies in Figure competition!
"JulietArtThou" tells me that she knew that there was a "Goddess within" And the photographs here really tell the story! She believes in the art of our own selves both physically and spiritually and I think there is much for us to say about the spirit of Juliet Banks.
