It went on for YEARS...
I was exhausted even though I had JUST woken up. Faint memories of my night full of thinking came back to my foggy brain. If you get this, you know. And if you don’t have time to read the rest but want it to STOP, then SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM! I never got restful sleep. My brain “ran” all night… • work projects • people (read: issues) to handle • problems to solve Stress flooded my brain and body constantly. I dragged myself to the coffee pot. Then off to a scalding hot shower. And I prayed to wake up from the haze. I wanted to lose weight and feel better. But I had no energy to do anything except come in from a long day, pull off my bra, and plop onto the couch. And dinner?! I didn’t have the brain power or time to figure that out. So we mostly ate drive though crap. I’m embarrassed now to admit that. But it was my reality because I “just couldn’t.” Did I mention I was only in my mid-late 30s at the time? I was done. Over it all. And some days I didn’t know how I could keep going. I felt horrible - about myself, about my mom-ability, and about what I was giving in our marriage. Let me be clear... I had done every fad diet. I had spent thousands on gadgets, pills, teas, detoxes, prepackaged foods, and every program. I hoped “this one” would be “the one” to fix me. But they didn’t. So I’d spiral - again. Look, I’m just saying I get it... I get you. And I’m saying…
YOU all deserve that! YOU DESERVE THAT LIFE! And it doesn’t take a crazy, time consuming commitment. But making real change does take a proven process and credible help from a woman who’s faced and overcome it. And when you’re truly sick of living in your waking hell, you don’t let anything stop you. Am I right? I'd love to hear your thoughts and struggles too. |
