And as I fought to keep him on this earth…my own health slipped away too.
It all seemed so sudden – like we were too young for this to happen to us.
We weren’t even in retirement yet…and in the end I felt cheated of the life we planned to have together.
Worst of all…I feared I would never find love again.
I was NOT the active, energetic, happy woman David had fallen in love with all those years ago. In fact, I could hardly recognize myself in the mirror anymore.
So that’s when I scheduled an appointment with my doctor and made a commitment to myself. I was going to take my life back.
After all…I still had my son and my grandchildren to think about, and I still wanted to set a good example for all of them.
The only problem was…
Nothing I Tried Ever Worked (and I Tried EVERYTHING!)
I had been to the doctor more times than I could count.
Each time, I was promised that a new diet or exercise plan would help me lose weight, but nothing ever worked!
After months of frustration, I was finally fed up with my doctor's promises; it felt like they were just leading me on a wild goose chase.
My diet and exercise regimens became increasingly restrictive – and still, not much changed.
I stopped going out with friends because I was so embarrassed by my size and how my clothes fit.
Even when going to the grocery store became too daunting of a task, I still found myself struggling to find enough energy to make it through the day.
It drained me in every way imaginable; physically, mentally, and emotionally.
On top of all this, I had very little support from family or friends.
They all seemed to be waiting for something magical to happen overnight - something that would miraculously cause me to go back to my old self.
One day while running errands, I ran into an old friend from high school, Jessica, who looked absolutely stunning.
She had always been on the “cushy” side but now she looked incredibly fit and full of energy!
And, of course, it didn’t take her long to notice how much I’d changed. When I saw the pity in her face, I almost tried to cut off the conversation out of sheer shame.
But that’s when she pulled me aside and said…
“Liz, listen – I actually know exactly what you’re going through. In fact, I was in your shoes earlier this year! Here, let me show you.”
That’s when she pulled up a picture on her phone…and my jaw dropped.
Somehow, this other Jessica had gone down the same route as me: older, slower, heavier, and sadder. But how could that woman have transformed into the woman talking with me now?
She must’ve seen the shock on my face, because she grinned from ear to ear and said…
“Crazy, right? And it’s all thanks to this fizzy breakfast drink I started using. No change to my diet or exercise at all! Here, let me send you the link…”
So as soon as I got home, I watched the video she had sent.
Not only did the video change EVERYTHING I thought I knew about health and fitness…but when I decided to give this “fizzy breakfast drink” a try, I completely transformed my body!
From 205 down to 197…then 181…then 165…all the way down to 141…
I was FLOORED by how fast and effective this drink was!
Because it turns out…
Weight Gain Has Nothing to Do With…
