I’ve been where you are right now.
I was staring down the barrel of a new decade and everything felt wrong.
I was burned out in my job
I was navigating the world as an empty nester
I had packed on 35 pounds that I couldn’t lose no matter how many salads I ate or miles I ran
My digestive system was shot
My father had been diagnosed with degenerative brain disease
I was unhappy and unfulfilled in my marriage
And I wasn’t getting any help from the ‘health professionals’ that I saw. Unless of course you count a little pill being ‘help’ to get through it all.
I knew that there was more to what was going on with me than food.
YES I had to deal with food. I had to find out what I was eating that was causing me so much disruption.
I had to change my habits
I had to REST.
More than that, I had this burning desire to reconnect with myself. I had lost myself in the raising of kids, the building of a home and a career, the years of marriage and partnership.
