These are the most painful words I could ever type... but I’ll type them anyway because YOU need to hear them.
My marriage didn't have to end in divorce.
My husband didn’t have to leave me for a younger woman.
This was an AVOIDABLE PROBLEM…
...and even though, deep down, I saw the warning signs a mile away…
...I did nothing.
I engaged in wishful thinking.
Instead of finding a way to shed my unwanted fat, increase my energy, and make myself look younger…
I clung to all the usual excuses. “I’m just too busy...I don’t have the time...I’m okay with being ‘okay’ looking…”
The part that stings the most is that ALL of this could’ve been avoided with a simple, 30 second morning ritual.
I didn’t know about this ritual at the time...since it’s actually an ancient Indonesian secret I NEVER would’ve found unless I was looking for it.
But after the divorce, I was desperate. I was in so much pain. I NEEDED to find a fast, easy, sustainable way to manage my health…
So I went on a wild goose chase across the globe (well...Internet) to find a way to consistently lose the most weight in the least amount of time.
After all...divorce takes up a TON of time. I was so busy meeting with attorneys, filling out paperwork, and crying on my friends’ shoulders I couldn’t even find 10 minutes to work out every day.
And no, I wasn’t interested in “cleaning up my diet” -- I was on the brink of emotional collapse. I NEEDED my comfort foods so I wouldn’t go crazy.
So I skipped right past the usual fad diets (Keto, Paleo, Carnivore, Atkins, Whole 30, Low Carb, High Carb, etc.)
And I skipped past the exercise fads (boot camp, HIIT, Crossfit, Curves, Burn Boot Camp, Beach Body, F45, etc.)
And instead looked for ONE thing I could do EVERY day.
I knew it had to be something I could do even on the days I didn’t want to get out of bed.
The divorce was so painful and draining...I just wasn’t in the mood to “crush it” or “smash my fitness goals” or whatever.
I was a heartbroken woman trying to put her life...actually...trying to put HERSELF back together.
I thought, “I’ll start with my body...because if I could just look in the mirror and love myself again I’ll be okay.”
I went through so many failed attempts.
So many teas, powders, pills, and at home gadgets that did NOTHING but burn a hole in my wallet.
Until, almost by accident, I stumbled across an obscure Indonesian morning ritual…
Something that would COMPLETELY change my life…
...Something I still do to this day, which has me feeling more alive, beautiful, and confident than I felt even in my 20’s.
And as crazy as this might sound…
Sometimes I wonder if my husband leaving is the best thing that ever happened to me.
But enough about me...this is about you.
