After turning 40, my once slim figure disappeared, and I started to gain and bulge in all the unwanted areas.
I began to feel tired and drained during the day and had very little energy. I would sleep for 12 hours sometimes and still wake up feeling exhausted.
I knew something was wrong but I didn't realize how bad it had gotten, until one day I stepped on a scale...
Me and my husband had taken a trip to California to visit some family and were staying at an AirBnB. I was in the bathroom when I noticed a fancy looking scale on the floor by the sink. I hesitated at first, but we hadn't had a scale at home in years, so I decided to step on it just to see what it said.
The scale showed 235!
Surely something must be OFF, I thought...
The owners must not have calibrated the scale properly...
That number couldn't possibly be right, could it?
But no matter how many times I stepped off and on that scale, the number didn't change.
As I thought about it, my heart sank, and I slowly began to realize that the only thing OFF... was me.
I felt awful, and I started to think...
How could I let this happen to me?!
I used to be so careful...
But somewhere along the way, after 3 pregnancies and a full-time job, I lost sight of myself and my health.
That night I decided to do something about my health and get my life back under control.
