For years I
blamed my children for how I looked…
…and as horrible as it feels to type that, it’s an important part of my story.
Because like so many women right now, I simply didn’t know the TRUE cause of my so-called “baby baggage”.
The result? Years of wasted time and money…not to mention a whole lot of undeserved resentment against my kids.
Not to mention the toll it took on my relationship with their father.
In fact…if I’m being totally honest…it was the divorce that forced me to finally step up and take charge of my health.
So first I tried to just sweat it out by going to spin classes, boot camps, and even hot yoga.
Not only were the classes insanely expensive, they also took up HOURS of my day between driving, working out, showering, and changing.
So then I tried to clean up my diet…but every diet I tried said to do something completely different.
Turns out, keto and Mediterranean don’t mix, for example. And paleo…just doesn’t mix with anything.
I just wound up confused and frustrated…and I STILL saw no change in my body no matter what I ate.
So finally I went in for a physical and explained to the nurse this deadly cycle I felt like I was trapped in.
That’s when she said, “It sounds like you don’t have a diet or exercise problem at all. You have a liver problem.”
Then she scribbled down a note and handed it to me while looking over her shoulder.
