I had very little time as a mother of three and no time at all for myself between work and home. I found myself being stressed out and becoming burnt out. I cherished the moments when I could sit for a moment with a great cup of coffee or a relaxing cup of tea. Often times along with a good book that would either develop me in some area of my life. My focus was trying to hold things together while
raising my children. Therefore, living off fast foods, junk foods, and buffets due to not having much time to cook a full course meal. It all began to take a toll on my physical and mental well-being. The toxins that were constant in my body became extremely toxic for me. June 2010, I began to lose control of my ability to control my bladder as long as I had become accustomed to doing so. I felt weighted down and sluggish all of the time. My attention span was short and my memory was failing. I was 40 years old and living a nightmare because I was experiencing panic attacks over thought of forgetting things. My vision was blurry and I became financially burdened by this, because I was constantly renewing my prescription on my lenses. I went in for my DOT Physical in 2012 and I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I felt my life had hit rock bottom. I was 50 pounds overweight, I became mentally and emotionally distressed because I was wondering who would take care of my children. I was so angry inside to the point that I could not function and because of my lack of knowledge about Diabetes, I knew in my whole being that I was going to die. I went home and began making arrangements and scheduled a follow-up appoint with my physician. The doctor wanted to place me on insulin and I knew that I would have to give up my job because they will not allow drivers to be on insulin while driving the school bus. I pleaded with the doctor after I educated myself on the disease and convinced him to allow me to try diet and pills. The pills kept me nauseated and ill feeling. I honored the diet and changed the eating habits of my children. But there were some times I did not have the appetite to eat. My blood sugar level began to drop from 400, and I began to experience some relief in the symptoms that I was experiencing. Holding at a level of 200 and frustrated because I knew that I needed it to drop below 120 before my license would be taken away; I was introduced to a young man who offered me to try a sample of Green Tea. Eventually I tried it and fell in love with the taste. I purchased some because it seemed to help me remain calm in the midst of all of my stress. When I went into my doctor’s office a month later, I was amazed to find that I had lost 20 pounds and he informed me that I had only 15 pounds left to lose and I would be finished with my diabetes. I was shocked and confused. It felt like life had been restored in me. And I was confused because I know that I did not exercise to lose any weight. The only thing that I did differently that I can contribute it to is drinking the Green Tea. I began to learn about the Organization that this young man was representing and fell in love with the vision. I also signed up so that I could get the products at wholesale and promote the products to my family and friends. Currently, I am happy and healthier than I have ever been. I am meeting new creative and successful people on a daily basis. I just teamed up with Catch The Visions. This is a team who inspires and promotes others to achieve their goals and dreams.
