Words from a Chirothin patient. ❤️
I was sooo nervous when I first started this program. I thought the food was going to be BORING and BLAND. I thought I was going to be craving absolutely everything and feeling miserable... But it hasn't been bad.
Don't get me wrong... it feels impossible some days... I miss going out to dinner. I have to cook every single meal. I work 50+ hours a week IN A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT and come home EXHAUSTED and have to pack my lunch for the next day. I have a 2 year old at home who gets to eat cheese and pizza and ice cream (my 3 favorite food groups) and I just have to resist and drink water. I miss the leisure of just eating something at work, or ordering out, picking up and chowin' down on the couch... But that's what brings me here today.
I'm a 36 year old mom of a 2 year old who had to finally make a decision about her health, weight and overall life. I've always struggled with weight, even when I was in elementary school. It's been a cloud looking over my life for as long as I can remember. I accepted it for many, many years but I finally decided to stop accepting it. I felt like it was a sign when I saw it posted at my chiropractors office next to a picture of my daughter...
It made me more conscious of the food I feed my 2 year old. I look at more labels, I think about "how will this make us feel". I let her chop veggies with me to make dinner. I talk to her about why they're good for us and why we like them. She's eating veggies that are raw and flavorful in their true state. She wants "what mommy's eating", and I don't feel bad for giving it to her. It's taught me how to make better choices for myself and my daughter.
ChiroThin seems limited and hard until we realize how limited and hard life was before we made a decision to change. Life isn't easier yet but it will be when I'm not lugging around 150 extra pounds of toxic fat on my body and can't keep up with my little one. It'll be easier when she doesn't face some of the same struggles I have in life, trying to accept my weight. It'll be easier when making the right choice of food is just the norm. Life will feel better when I don't feel like I need to eat to feel some kind of relief or feel an emotion.
I have been on ChiroThin for 25 days and today I weighed myself at 24 pounds down. I haven't been perfect but I have been committed to changing the way I eat and committed to changing my life and ChiroThin is helping me stay accountable and stay focused.
Thanks for coming to my rather long and impromptu ChiroThin Ted Talk. I hope that motivates someone today and gives you reasons to KEEP GOING!!
