Good morning #crew53. Happy week 2. I hope everyone is staying strong in their joumey! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to those of you that don't know me yet. My name is Jennifer. I'm 48 years old and a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, granddaughter and niece to the most supportive family I could ask for. I quit my career as a restaurant ban manager 3 years ago to start my own housekeeping business. One of my biggest passions aside from loving my family is playing billiards. My life changing journey began in crew 42. When I began I was on 7 medications, medical diagnoses of N/A fatty liver disease, pre diabetic, 30 lbs overweight, daily excruciating acid reflux, chronic abdominal inflammation/pain, headaches on a daily, insomnia and severe depression and anxiety. My quality of life was approaching zero at full speed! I was living to treat and manage disease! I was the most lost I've ever been in my life! I tried so many programs, fad diets, junk supplements over the years. The time, money and health wasted is unbelievable! I'm not kidding yall when I say, I was "at the end of my rope " mentally, emotionally and physically! I had no spark left, which was strange for me cause I've always been a firecracker with a zest for life and all of a sudden it was just gone. I was just sick and in pain all the time.
Well.. That was until... on one of mu insomnia filled scrolling nights I came across one of #DLG videos. I had never seen one thing from DLG on my feed until that night. Nor do l ever click on them ads anymore. I know now that it was god leading me to him! I believe that with al my heart! I watched the about 8 minutes video and with no hesitation I ordered my book and that's all she wrote! That was the night I would begin to live and be the person god has chosen me to be again! I decided right then and there, I will NOT be just another statistic of the sick care system. That was the first time I realized that" no one was coming for me" and the job was mine alone! That 'I am the solution" to every single problem I have! I can honestly say I would not be here typing this message to you beautiful peeps if not for #DLG, #NLG, #coach and my crew! God really does work in mysterious ways! The guidance from this group is everything I need. Big thank you to #dig for being such a fearless leader. Ok with that all being said, I can stand here loud and proud on this day to testify to yall! Ok here we go..... -My medication list is now at zero. -I am no longer pre diabetic! My numbers are perfect. -I no longer suffer from acid reflux! -I've lost 35 Ibs! -no more abdominal inflammation and pain! - I sleep like a baby - just received my results from recent ultrasound of liver. NO MORE fatty liver disease! Function back to 100%. My doctor was shocked and amazed at the same time! -no more constant headaches! - And the big one for me, as of 3 months ago I'm no longer on depression and anxiety medication! Wooo hoo! *I used dig mood and stress support when I was weaning off of meds" it provided the support I needed to get through a very tough time*
Thank you for having that available to me. There are days I still struggle but now I have the knowledge and wisdom to deal with things in a healthy manner:) not only has all of the above happened, I also received another gift i didn't even know I was missing and that was, loving myself again! And I'm proud to say on September 10th 2023 I gave myself back to the lord! I am now an active member of my church and it gives me so much purpose and joy! Thank you just don't seem like enough. Took care of my mom and she had several health conditions also so l pulled her on this ride with me and she's doing wonderful. Down many lbs and off of her diabetes medication! In closing, I felt it necessary to share a part of my journey for anyone who might be struggling. You can do it! The strength is inside you! Don't get discouraged and be kind to yourself! Slow and easy wins this race. And to the new members, I know at first it is very overwhelming but trust me when I say it gets easier! Things you struggle with today will come as second nature in the future. If anyone needs me for anything don't hesitate to reach out to me. I love you all so much and am beyond grateful to have y'all in my daily life! I truly consider you family. Great big hugs to all!!
Off Med, Weight Lost, Loving Myself Again!!
