Holistic Weight Loss

If being nominated a macaroni and cheese and top ramen girl was a thing, I woulda won first place in the competition—crowed with jewels all.

As a teen, my eating habits were predictable. pasta, sugar, anything where the word junk food came to mind, I was probably indulging in it. 

My unhealthy eating style didn’t seem to bother me at the time, I pretty much maintained the same weight in my teens and I felt fine energy-wise.

So I continued lovin’ those starches and sugars. For years.

It was who I was. 

Fast forward to this year June 2023…there I was at 42 years around the sun. And yep… still the carb-lovin’ and sugar-obsessed girl.  

I was the gal who’d impulsively buy that Snickers at the grocery checkout line cuz it was screaming my name!

I’d have pasta at least once, sometimes two times (or more) a day…and bread…and alwayyys had to have sweets.

Something was shifting. I was the gal with the carb and sugar habits, but now the outside and inside of me was different.

I gained weight (like 20 pounds in a few years ), feeling unhealthy, having major brain fog, my vibe was like a slug, and was so tired. My jeans felt like a tight rubberband would feel on your wrist (AKA. not a good feelin.’)

I had this belief, based on the Pareto Principle, that if I bought bigger-sized jeans, then I would, as a result, expand into them. 

Needless to say, I had to toss many a pair of jeans away because they would end up ripping around the waist and even the crotch area! But. I. Stuck. To. My. Guns. 

Have you felt this way too? 

bloated. 

miserable.

sluggish.

unmotivated.

In June of this year, I decided that I was no longer going to be the carb-queen.  She was going to transform.

I picked up a soul-awakening book by Dr. Mark Hyman, MD called Young Forever and I swear, my new holistic and healing Self was born the day I read the first few chapters of this wellness bible!
