I Went From Not Recognizing Myself in The Mirror, to Looking Better Than I Have in 3 Decades!
I'm Loving this NEW me!
For Years I Didn't Like What I Saw
Hi, my name is Jessica. I want to tell you my flab to fab story. All jokes aside, it was an emotional journey for me with a happy ending.
It started with me fighting the battle of the bulge for 3 decades. When I looked in the mirror, I didn't like what I saw, if you're reading this I bet many of you can relate. But don't worry, I have something that should help it get better from here!
I Was Over 40 And Stuck With A Spare Tire
As a woman over 40, I have been fighting this battle for nearly 3 decades. And over that time frame the weight gain has been the battle I just couldn’t win.
Not 5 pounds.
Not “holiday weight.”
Not baby weight, for heaven's sake I was over 40!
I’m talking about the kind that slowly wraps around your waist and refuses to let go.
The spare tire that kept accumulating over the years refused to deflate no matter what I did.
My favorite jeans that I had for years, remained in my closet collecting dust. The jeans 3 times their size were getting worn out.
I was at a point that I was avoiding pictures as they were being taken, dodging picture windows where I could see my reflection and avoiding social gatherings. I had stepped out of life.
I kept telling myself I would feel better and become more social when I lost the weight. But month after month I wasn't successful and my friends stopped calling. I felt isolated and alone and most of that was my fault.
During this time I was:
Eating less.
Moving more.
Trying harder.
Without success.
No matter what I did… the scale barely moved, and my frustration was at it's peak. Giving up was so much easier but also unbearable.
I wasn't a quitter... was I?
Me at my top weight of 192
Each Year Was Adding Inches!
What scared me most wasn’t just the weight. It was how it kept increasing every year. I was terrified that I would end up at 300 pounds!
Five pounds turned into ten.
Ten turned into fifteen.
My energy started crashing by 2PM.
My cravings felt stronger than ever.
Even when I skipped desserts and forced myself through workouts, nothing changed.
I would go to bed determined. And wake up discouraged. I started wondering if this was just what happens to every woman after 40?
Maybe my metabolism had slowed too much?
Maybe hormone changes were working against me? Maybe this was my new normal. I was leaning towards that this is just what happens to women as they age...except I have skinny friends too - there goes that theory.
And honestly?
That thought made me feel hopeless. Why me and not them too? As bad as that sounds, I couldn't help but be a little envious.
The Tea Recipe That Changed Everything
Then I stumbled across something that sounded almost too simple.
I was scrolling on Facebook when I started to see post after post about people using a tea recipe to drop inches. I assumed they were doing those GLP1's, which I wouldn't do because of the side effects. I watched a friend go through that, and I wanted none of it.
After pausing on one of the posts, I realized this was different. No shots, no prescription pills, no stimulants. It is like my phone was reading my mind!
Not a crazy diet.
Not an intense workout. And I could still eat the foods I love within reason.
A tea recipe — made with everyday ingredients — designed to support the body’s internal “furnace” and help it burn more efficiently.
I could go into all the sciencey stuff about why it works and how it was started in the Mediterranean, but none of that matters when you know it just works.
All I had to do was mix it up and go. For less than 2 minutes of work, I was supporting my body all day long.
That’s it.
Once I Started Using The Recipe My Life Changed!
The first thing I noticed wasn’t the scale.
It was my energy.
Instead of crashing in the afternoon, I felt steady. Clear. Awake.
Then the bloating started easing up. Then my cravings weren’t as loud.
And slowly… my clothes started fitting better.
The weight didn’t disappear overnight, but my body didn’t feel stuck anymore.
For the first time in years, I felt like my body was cooperating instead of fighting me.
It Didn't Happen Overnight, But It Was Pretty Quick
And the biggest change after I started losing inches? I stopped feeling ashamed of myself, and my husband and I reconnected. As a matter of fact, he started doing it too! He is already down 10 pounds.
I felt hopeful. Confident. In control again! It wasn’t just about looking better.
It was about feeling like me again.
For those who Feel Like I Did, this is my PSA!
If you’re over 40 and frustrated with stubborn weight…
If it feels like your body has been fighting you for years…
If you’re tired of trying harder and getting nowhere…
I need you to know something...
You’re not broken!
Your body may just need a different kind of support now.
This tea recipe made all the difference for me.
It just might be what works for you too!
I am here rooting for you -
Jessica (from 192-129!)
