Now, ever since starting a family 20 years ago I’ve struggled with my weight…

I knew having a child would leave me with a few extra pounds…

But I didn’t realize how hard it would be to stay in shape as a mother… I mean even for a tall woman like me… 

It only dawned on me recently how bad things were when I was told my by Doctor that my blood sugar is too high and that I might develop diabetes…

Given the less-than-active lifestyle I had, it shouldn’t have been a big surprise.

But the news made me really scared of course.

And when I thought about all the health problems it could lead to, I became terrified.

I started making small changes; reducing my portion size, trying to cut out the snacks, and even tried a few workouts.

But when the current global situation came along, I got so stressed and worried I began to comfort eat.

I know this was the worst thing I could have done, but in my head, I kept justifying it.

Certain things were beyond my control after all. Plus, what else could I do?

Gyms were closed, and I never enjoyed working out in the park as everyone was always staring at me…

A friend of mine told me about how she was getting great results by drinking a few cups of a Costa Rican tea every day, but I didn’t believe her!

But then I came across a story on my news feed about a woman who was a little older than me and had lost over 100pounds with the same Costa Rican tea. 

So, I decided to get the recipe and start drinking a few cups of tea every day!
