Two weeks ago, I made a decision to change my health—for real this time.
Not a quick fix. Not a new trend.
I committed to an anti-inflammatory protocol knowing it would be hard… but I didn’t realize how hard.
The first 10 days were brutal.
Eating every 2–3 hours felt like a full-time job. Turning down the food I made for my family or at family events left me emotional and drained. Packing my meals everywhere I went got old fast. I found myself wondering, “Is this really worth it?”
Some of the foods didn’t sit well with me. A few supplements made me feel worse before they made me feel better. I dealt with major bloating, constipation, and full-on detox symptoms. I felt like I had the flu some days. I was sure I’d crash without caffeine—but somehow, I didn’t.
This journey has taken trial and error, patience, and grace.
But slowly, something shifted.
I woke up two days ago and told Kevin, “I am starting to feel like myself again.”
I had energy. I was happy. My clothes fit. And for the first time in a long time, eating felt doable.
I’m so glad I took those before pictures, even just for myself. Because my body is changing. Not just physically, but on the inside too. It’s healing. And that gives me hope.
So, if you’re in the thick of it, wondering if it’s worth it—keep going.
Give your body time. Trust the process.
I promise, change is happening. Even if you can’t feel it yet.
You’re not alone. And you can do this.
