"I have struggled with my weight most of my life. The first time I realized I was "fat" was in 4th grade when I was the 1st one to hit triple digits in school (100 pounds). I was horrified and sad. To be 11-years-old and the heaviest kid in a BIG school was not something I should have been concerned with at such a young age.
Teen years were terrible. I wasn't super big...but I was heavy for my short stature. I gave birth to twins at age 18 and ballooned up to 212 pounds. HUGE for being only 5 feet tall.
A very bitter divorce & custody battle at 21 along with a massive drinking binge made me lose 58 pounds in 6 months time. It was not healthy. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, I was a wreck and nearly died from alcohol poisoning. I was so depressed and self destructed.
I was rescued that same summer when I became pregnant with twins AGAIN. I stopped drinking immediately. But I was still terrified as I was a single mom with 2 sets of twins.
I tried ALL kinds of things to lose weight. Some worked. Some didn't. I did South Beach Diet, Weight Watchers, Alli, SlimQuick, Redux/Fen fen (Dr. prescribed), excessive exercise, Herbalife, It Works Wraps, Slim Fast, Starvation, HCG, I can't even remember all the nasty stimulant-based things I tried. I have lost the same 50 pounds SIX times. And wreaked havoc on my body.
I settled on exercise and clean eating about 2 years ago. I exercised 12-15 hours each week and ate very very well. I didn't smoke. I didn't drink Soda Pop. I got the weight off and I felt AMAZING.
But, during a fitness class, I was injured. Very injured. I thought I could brush it off, but that didn't happen. I couldn't exercise. This sent me into a tail spin of depression and I gained back those damn 50+ pounds. I am Bipolar and managed without medication through my awesome diet and the excessive exercise. But without it, I was doomed.
I started smoking, drinking, and went back to my unhealthy habits to cope with my loss. Sounds ridiculous but I had given up. My weight got back up to 188 pounds. I was so ashamed. I felt like I failed my trainer, failed my family, failed my friends, and failed myself. I resolved I would always be heavy no matter what so I justified eating like shit and just kept packing on the pounds.
The awakening came in August 2012. I went home to see my family in Washington after being gone for 5 years. I did NOT like how I looked and couldn't enjoy it as much as I could have because I felt SO uncomfortable in my own body and I was sure I was revolting to everyone who laid eyes on me. The photos my family tagged me in here on Facebook made me wince in emotional pain and I wanted to erase them so no one could see me.
I saw a friend post about Skinny Fiber. To say I was skeptical was an UNDERSTATEMENT. When I ordered, it wasn't because I believed it worked. I ordered it to show her she was full of CRAP and I was going to be the one to burst her bubble and put her out of business.
Well, 4 months later, I was about 40 pounds lighter. I knew this was not something I could keep to myself. I HAD to share it.
I haven't taken Skinny Fiber for about 7 months. I haven't gained anything back. I have about 25 pounds left to go so am starting again now that I know it won't come back when I reach my goal!
Not bad for a mom who gave birth to 2 sets of twins, huh!"
