For the past 20 years, ever since starting a family, I’ve had a hard time managing my weight...
I knew that having a child would leave me carrying some extra pounds...
But I didn’t realize how hard it would be to stay in shape as a mom... even for someone tall like me.
It only hit me recently how bad things were. My doctor said my blood sugar was too high and I was at risk for diabetes.
Given my inactive lifestyle, this news shouldn't have shocked me.
Yet, it did make me very scared.
When I thought about all the health problems it could cause, I was terrified.
I started to make small changes. I reduced portions and cut out snacks. I even tried some exercise.
But when the current global situation hit, I got so stressed and anxious that I turned to comfort eating.
I knew it was the worst thing I could do, but in my mind, I kept finding excuses to justify it.
After all, certain things were beyond my control. And honestly, what else could I do?
The gyms were closed, and I never liked working out in the park—people were always staring at me…
A friend of mine mentioned how she was getting amazing results with a 'Costa Rican Tea Method', but I didn’t believe her!
But then I saw a story in my news feed about a woman, a little older than me, who had lost over 100 pounds using the same Costa Rican Tea Method.
So, I went ahead and learned the method, then started drinking a few cups of the tea each day!
