When I hear; “You have such a pretty face, but….” I always know what is coming next. “You are such a pretty girl to be unhealthy, I am worried about your weight.” Like most if you truly gave me a full up and down with your eyes and really studied everything about me you could see I hide my weight well. I also learned how to make my camera my BFF and even did a quick mommy dearest tutorial; and my boyznberries are well-trained on how to take a great selfie and group shot. I also have my handy-dandy spanx , they totally have my back, yeah literally they have my back, bum and my abdominal area. There is only so much you can hide. Despite my efforts to look healthy, I couldn’t hide from the scale or my doctors dreaded notepad with weight-loss suggestions and him pointing out that according to his BMI chart. Ok that BMI chart is a little TMI. I told my doctor that I was happy in my skin and he told me; “You may be, but your organs are not.” I was told I was heading down a dangerous road to a heart attack or diabetes. Well in February 2015 I had to get surgery and before I did I was having chest pain. I told the nurse I was nervous and had chest pain and I needed anxiety medication. She wouldn’t give me medication she did an EKG. The look on her face, I knew it was something. I was told by my doctor I was going to have or I had a heart attack. That still wasn’t a WAKE up call for me. I kept eating and I enjoyed eating. There is nothing wrong with that, if you live an active life. Despite me being a single mom to three boys that isn’t active enough for my scale. That horrid scale has been stationary for some time now. It’s like a fixture in my bathroom I don’t know why I have it it’s just there to taunt me as it keeps going forward when I step on it.
In all honesty what did it for me; My mother. Yes My Mother out of all people. When she asked me if I was wearing spanx and if the elastic broke. Um no they didn’t.
That night I started googling and researching ways to lose weight. Like everything I have done before I can go to the gym it was my diet. I am my own worst enemy as you can’t out train a bad diet. It was like brushing my teeth before bed and then downing Oreos it totally defeated the purpose of brushing your teeth. I am a foodie, a food blogger and I love food. I wanted a program where I could still tantalize my taste buds yet make the scale go backwards. I will also continue to be a foodie and food blogger, I just need to learn how to portion my food and go back to basics.
Zen Foods ~ Zero Effort Nutrition
I called ZenFoods and I went on their ZEN Spa Experience for 5 days. You get six juices everyday with one salad and soup.
ZEN FOODS ~ Zero Effort Nutrition
Yes believe it or not this is a cleanse and you get to CHEW food. I was so happy to be able to chew real food I knew I could stick with it. Day one I was satisfied to be honest I kept opening my fridge and I kept getting anxiety that there were more juices in my fridge. In other words I wasn’t starving I was over satisfied. Totally weird since I was probably on 3,000 calories a day and this was much less than that.
The second day I learned that I was going to lose weight because I was going to starve. When it was time to have the soup of of the day I cried silently; My chilled soup, my dinner was the Celery Crème Soup. It looked gross and Celery and soup didn’t seem like a nice combo. When I took the first slurp, yes I said slurp I was pleasantly surprised it was so good. My taste buds were joyfully singing tears of joy as they savored the Celery, Cashews, Coconut Water, Onions, Salt as they drifted down my tongue to my stomach in such a peaceful way.
The third, fourth and fifth day I couldn’t believe I made it, it was so easy. Never once did I feel deprived nor did my taste buds. I did make the scale thinner by a few pounds.
The juices were delicious
and
fresh pressed, I also loved the shakes,
