Here is my health restoration journey
"My personal weight loss & health restoration journey ...
A little over 4 years ago, I had had two car accidents that pretty much robbed me of all the strength I had previously had, and I noticed that the weaker my muscles became, the more health problems I started experiencing. I did not start out on a "weight loss journey" so to speak, more of a "become the healthiest I can be with the injuries I sustained" journey.
I started off with nothing but walking....and walking...and walking....it was all my doctor would agree to. Once I was finally at a place where my doctor approved me to start actually exercising, my investment included Bodylastics resistance bands, a stability ball, a TRX Suspension Trainer, along with changing my eating lifestyle. I did not invest in a lot of supplements or a gym membership, but after awhile I did buy a big jug of protein powder to make shakes with. (oh, yeah, and the only other thing I invested in was a very good yoga mat!)
The yoga mat was an absolute must because I had lost my sense of balance and exercising without the mat was dangerous! Lunges for me were done on the mat between two kitchen chairs to catch me when I toppled over. The stability ball also was a god-send in developing my core and lower back muscles and bring back my balance.
As I slowly got stronger, I incorporated the resistance bands and TRX, took a few TRX classes at my local gym, hired a "trainer" to get me started and continued to cut out unhealthy foods. The biggest and best thing I did for myself however, was READ and EDUCATE myself on nutritional labels, exercise, different diets, learned how to do the exercises, bought health & fitness magazines, cut out pictures of the beautiful women that I admired and taped them to the wall. They were my daily inspiration to get off my arse when I hurt so bad I wanted to give up, when I was so depressed I did not want to get out of bed, when I craved every food in the kitchen and just wanted to binge more than I cared about the end result.... I felt I was finally on my way to being “normal” again, when a very deep personal tragedy last fall plunged me into severe depression...
I slept away my days and nights, ate everything and anything...didn’t leave my place or go out in public...didn’t even get dressed most days ... I became what I never thought would ever happen to me ... then about 5 months later, I “woke up” and really saw myself in the mirror.. I had gained almost 30 lbs, was sitting at 31% body fat, and none of my clothes would fit me. I slid deeper into depression and lost myself.
Then a friend introduced me to Skinny Fiber...I was sad, depressed, lonely, heartbroken, embarrassed, shy, disgusted with myself...I took the plunge and ordered my product in May. At the time I am writing this, it has been 47 days of Skinny Fiber and I am down all 28 lbs I gained, and am currently sitting at 22% body fat. I have more energy, my hair, skin & nails are the healthiest they have been in my life!! I am slowly gaining some of my confidence back and am not so embarrassed to be out in public..
Friends, yes, losing the weight, making new lifestyle choices, and doing what we do no matter what the people around us say, is HARD but WORTH IT!!!! I am SO GLAD I FOUND SKINNY FIBER...it is giving me some of my life back.."
Another happy Skinny Fiber user!
