As women, we tend to turn to food for comfort. Anybody relate? Andrea Estes story is super relatable and super powerful. “21 versus 36 😱 if overalls can make a comeback, so can our health right?! (Don't mind the balloons🎈or the price tag 😂) I sent this to my hubby to see if he could see a difference and his response was "WOW"! Honestly, it's hard for me to see differences in these two pics because all I see is me. But there IS a lot of differences in the two. Not just the physical changes but more importantly the emotional ones😭 I wasn't unhappy in the first picture because I was overweight..... I was overweight because I was unhappy. I resorted to food for comfort because of the feelings of sadness I once struggled with. At age 12 I started going to doctors because of the unhappy thoughts I was having. I would take mediations 💊because of it. I slept a lot because of it and as you could see, I would eat and drink 🍺 alcohol because of it too. It helped numb the pain. For over 20 years I lived this way. I hit the lowest of lows in life because of it. I hated feeling this way. Like the weight of the world constantly on my shoulders and pushing me down. I share about my struggles and all that I went through because if I can help just one more person feel better, have a better quality of life by being healthier and happier, then I've done my part to make a change 🌎 Friends, feelings of sadness and anxiety isn't all in our heads. The health of our gut plays such a HUGE role in our overall health including our mental health. People may think I'm a little crazy 😜 about gut health but I'm ok with it because when you find something that you know first hand works, then you start to see it work for other people who were once "silently suffering" and you can't help but wanna share that with everyone! Weight loss is just an added bonus of getting our bodies to a healthy state.....remember we don't need to lose weight to be healthy, we need to be healthy to lose weight🙌🏻” #healthybodies #guthealth #internalbalance #getyasome (at Benton, Arkansas)
