All of a sudden, my once slim and petite figure started to gain weight and bulge in unwanted areas.
It was as if my young and fast metabolism had come to a sudden STOP.
My overall health took a nosedive and so did my energy.
I would go to bed earlier, hoping I wouldn't have to drag myself through the next day. But even after 12 HOURS of sleep, I felt exhausted!
I knew something was wrong.
I didn't realize how BAD things were until my husband surprised me with a couple's retreat in Sedona, Arizona.
The hotel had a fancy digital scale in the bathroom.
I stepped on it, just curious to see the number.
It showed 203.
"No way! It can't be right", I thought.
But no matter how often I stepped on and off that scale... the number didn't change.
Slowly it dawned on me - the scale wasn't off. It was ME.
I glanced in the bathroom mirror and wanted to cry. Double chin, extra rolls around the middle...
"What happened? How did I let myself go?"
I guess, somewhere between two pregnancies and a full-time job, I lost sight of myself and my health.
That night I made a decision to do something about my health and get my weight back under control.
