Thank you @Nagina Abdullah and I appreciate you. I just did two changes which I didn’t think it would be huge and today I finally see a shift in my weight! Before joining this community I was at 68.5kg on 12th Oct and this morning I had to blink many times and weighed twice and it’s showing me at 67.7kg!! Yet my brain questioned is this a fluke. At the same time, Let’s do the same again one day at a time till next week.

I have been a professional weight loser. I've been playing this game of ups and downs since late high school. I was a practicing bulimic and binge eater through college running eight miles a day and still gaining weight because of my habits. My husband and I have done Weight Watchers more than once with success in losing, but not in keeping it off. In between we had an incredible life in Alaska where I was constantly on the go, however skipping meals was how I lost weight which I gave myself permission to eat treats or sugary items from time to time. I had a killer wardrobe and loved how I felt. Then we returned to the lower 48. During COVID we did Keto, however the program I chose was focused on his body type. He lost 50 pounds, but I gained. Then he gained it all back. We buy organic groceries all the time, however our life is such that we are often in a "fast food season" as my husband's career pulls him in multiple directions with little consistency; he's on-call 24/7. Starting day 2 of the 5-Day Metabolism Boost workshop gives me hope even with what I was able to implement on day 1 that my husband and I can be successful. More than anything, I'm curious to hear more of what she is teaching as I think it will build on what we have learned so far and begin to undo the negative thinking and shame/guilt we've experienced in the past. I love the mindsets. Good food for thought!

I don’t know about y’all (southern phrase meaning everyone listening), but I am so grateful to Nagina for her gifting us this class this week and next. I have struggled so long and often have gone to several grocery stores to purchase organic foods only to continue gaining weight or having belly fat. I love learning these tips and I hope others of you have been encouraged like I have. My integrative medicine doctor suggested I sign up as I’ve been working with her on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Thank you Nagina!!

Curious about how kombucha might fit in the framework discussed. Not recommended??
