A Revelation Toward Zija...

I've come to a point in my life where I am through with my weight struggles.  My entire life, I have been taught to just accept my 'heft', my 'thickness', my forever battle with my weight and I'M SICK OF IT!  I faced a reality check recently where my clothing size is now the largest size sold in regular department stores - this means that if that item of clothing (in a size 16) doesn't fit - that's it, I don't get to purchase that piece of clothing... I just can't live like that!

I decided to start making some changes, I started walking everyday with my 17 month old son in the jogger stroller and my very energetic boxer.  I also began watching what I was eating - not dieting, but just being careful to not over eat.  I had refused to weigh myself, because I couldn't stand the idea of seeing how heavy I had become, but also because I know how discouraged I would become by the numbers.  Thinking 'I need to lose 40 lbs' is a lot less discouraging than knowing - 'if I lose 40 lbs than I'll be at 160 lbs'... which still seems way too heavy.  I know that weight on my body is much different than on someone else's frame - so I preferred to just take on a healthier approach to my weight loss rather than a number crunch.

So on a Thursday, we walked into my sister-in-law's house.  She had been taking Zija and had lost a lot of weight, but I wasn't quite ready to commit to a product.  Especially since I still had this 'you got yourself into this mess, so you'd better be ready to do the hard work to get yourself out' mentality.  There has never been an easy way for me to lose weight that kept the weight off.  I'd lost lots of weight on diet drinks (and then gained all the weight back... and then some when I went off of it).  I'd also had lots of success losing weight on protein weight loss programs and had the same tragic outcomes once off of the diet.  I know that dieting just doesn't work... so that's why I just wanted to get healthy.  Then enters Zija.  It was the right place, the right time, and hopefully the answer to my journey toward health.  My sister-in-law gave me an 8 day sample of the product and a very brief overview of how to use the product, the results spoke for themselves...
