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.
During a stressful period at work, I found myself turning to comfort eating.
I knew it was the worst thing I could do, but in my mind, I kept coming up with excuses to justify it.
A friend of mine mentioned how she was getting amazing results with a 'Costa Rican Tea', but I didn’t believe her!
Then I came across a story in my news feed about a woman, slightly older than me, who had lost over 100 pounds using the Costa Rican Tea.
Intrigued, I decided to learn more and started drinking a few cups of the tea each day!
