My journey really began when I noticed how much being
overweight was affecting my entire life. It had become easy to stay in denial of the negative impact UNTIL we moved
from Chicago to Fenton after my husband got a promotion. Fenton is a charming small town on Missouri's outer banks, featuring a great mix of city and nature activities.
We adore all four seasons, but fall and winter are especially beautiful. Hiking, cycling, fishing, camping, and a variety of other outdoor pursuits are all available.
However, there was one problem: I was far too heavy to move. Trust me, carrying a "wide load " on a bike or down a hiking trail just doesnt work well. I was embarrassed for even trying.
Years of stress and bad eating habits had taken its toll. I was in poor health, suffering from aching joints and recent cardiac problems.
I was sad, and I loathed the fact that, because of my girth, I was missing out on so many important moments with my family.
I felt trapped in a body i didnt want to be in. I had a constant desire for sweets and junk food, lacked energy, and struggled to get out of my chair.
I was depressed and had little faith in myself. I'd seen several doctors who had run a battery of tests on me, but they all came back normal, and no matter what I did, the results remained the same.
You lose a little and then get it all back.
As a result, I elected to stay at home while my husband took our grandchildren out to enjoy Fenton's beautiful scenery.
But, thank the Lord my fate was altered one day. I ran into one of my old friends from school years ago name Linda while at the grocery store. I have to admit, she looked fantastic! Linda is nothing like she used to be. I barely recognized her at first. I wanted to know her secret, even if it was a little awkward to ask.
I think see saw the desperation in my eyes while talking, she sent me the same video that had a significant impact on her life.
I figured I had nothing to lose after trying a variety of diets with no meaningful results. This seemed much different and didnt include the same amounts of "sacrifices" i was used to seeing.... watching the weight drop off with this easy "Fizzy Juice" method was truely remarkable!
