Honest post again as always, because I know so many of you are watching this journey…
The last few days I’ve been in tears.
The bloat, the pain, the gas… I literally looked pregnant and felt so uncomfortable in my own body. And for someone who’s built a business around weight loss… that messes with your head.
But here’s what I’m learning.
This isn’t me “failing”
This isn’t fat gain
This is my body finally feeling safe enough to start letting go.
After everything my body has been through (and yes… trauma, stress, living in fight or flight for way too long)… my gut has taken a hit. And your gut IS your second brain. When it doesn’t feel safe, nothing works properly.
So this is what I’m doing right now:
– Vitals (gut support)
– NAC
– L-Glutamine
– Magnesium
– Zinc
– Whole food, simple eating foods like bone broth, phase 3 foods (not much as I had so much bloat) avocado, sardines in oil etc)
And I’ll be honest…
It got worse before it got better.
Like REALLY worse. Like don’t look at me, don’t talk to me, I’m in too much pain to sit kinda worse.
But today?
The bloat has already started to come down.
My body is moving things again.
Things are shifting.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan.
This is just what MY body needs right now. Because it is starting to finally feel safe.
And I’m sharing it because I know how many women sit there thinking:
“What the hell is wrong with me?”
Maybe nothing is wrong with you.
Maybe your body just hasn’t felt safe in a long time. Maybe you’ve been under HEAPS of stress. Grief / Loss / DV / Toxic people…..
I’m not hiding this part of my journey.
This is the real work. Jess x I hope it helps. I’m working on me to come up with a solution for you. So far I swear by the magnesium I am taking. This is one day apart.
