You won't believe how my body's metabolism slowed down after pregnancy! I went from being a new mom to a fuller-figured post-pregnancy woman in no time. It was quite a shock, let me tell you.
Desperate to shed those extra pounds, I embarked on a quest to find the perfect diet regimen.
But the truth is, sticking to various diets proved to be an uphill battle, especially with my demanding schedule as a nurse. Juggling work and taking care of my family left me drained and devoid of energy.
It felt like a never-ending cycle of trying and giving up, which only left me feeling hopeless and frustrated.
At one point, I even thought that maybe being overweight was MY DESTINY.
Then, almost a year ago, something happened that shook me to the core. My grandson was born, and I was overjoyed to see him at the hospital. However, in the midst of my excitement, I experienced a terrifying heart attack on my way there.
I was rushed to the hospital and ended up staying for two long weeks.
My doctor explained that my uncontrolled high blood pressure and high cholesterol were the culprits behind the heart attack.
It was a wake-up call like no other!
In a nutshell, my weight had started taking a toll on my heart.
My doctor made it clear that I was fortunate to have received immediate treatment; otherwise, I might not be here to witness my grandkids grow up.
That experience was a harsh reminder that I needed to prioritize my own health, not just for myself but for the sake of my loved ones.
Little did I know that this would mark the beginning of a remarkable transformation in my life.
