On a positive note:

- I started a chain reaction of positive things that have been happening in my life ever since.
- I was compelled to move my body more, and went from despising exercise and not working out at all to working out and looking forward to it every single day.
- I learned how to make exercise fun.
- I essentially reinvented myself through healthier eating and moving my body more.
- I am happier and lighter (both in my body, my mind, and in my “whole being”).

On a not so positive note:
During the 21 days (while I was detoxing) I had withdrawal symptoms. I was tired, dizzy, nauseated and I was easily irritated, but all that went away.
The journey to a healthier, happier you is so worth it. I know—because I lived it.
I stopped chasing skinny and started focusing on my health—and that single shift changed everything. As I mentioned, I ultimately lost 140 pounds, but more importantly, I found clarity, energy, and a life that finally feels like mine. I share the whole story in my book.
