After the birth of my daughter I gained 80 lbs. I was at my heaviest weight and
was miserable. I turned to food for comfort and the weight just kept going up. The unhappier I was, the more I ate. I LOVED fast food. I can't stress that enough. I thought about it 24/7 and I always found a way to get it. To top it off I had severe back problems that were crippling and was on different prescription drugs for high blood pressure and pain. I became a shell of my former self. I went from being high energy, happy and healthy to lazy, overweight and very unhealthy. After doing lots and lots of research I started finding out things that scared the hell out of me when it came to the foods I was eating, pills I was popping and vaccines I was putting into my body. I know it sounds Cliche but I had an epiphany. Here I am, 26 years old and i'm dying a very slow, painful death without realizing it. I was to the point where I thought it was normal to wake up feeling that way every day. It sounds crazy but that was my reality.
Once the light bulb went on the first thing I did was quit smoking cigs. It's been over a year and I have no plans on ever touching one again. The next thing for me was my addiction to soda. I got off the prescriptions, started juicing and changed the way I chose to look at food. I had a bit of a rollback this year when my back went out but I'm happy to say that I recovered and I am now going strong!
There is no greater feeling than taking control of your health. I can't even begin to explain the remarkable changes and progress I have made. As the famous quote reads "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.' It's true and I am living proof of that. I am a novice and I have lots to learn but I hope that through the power of networking we can all be an inspiration to one another. I look forward to hearing about others journeys as well.
I believe the gift of health is the best gift you could give and I hope to help others achieve that any way I can. I am here to support and cheer on anyone willing to change their life for the better! I always love a little support as well. :) Together, we can all achieve a better quality of life.
