A New Me!

The few of you who read my blog probably already know that I'm taking a diet supplement called Skinny Fiber.  I started taking it August 26th.

I'm 50 years old, 5' 1/2" tall (yes, I count the 1/2") and I started out weighing 207lbs.  I wore a skin tight size 18 jeans and needed a size 20, but couldn't bring myself to buy them.  I wore an XXL top.  I was miserable, my body ached, my hips hurt, my knees cracked and hurt all the time, my feet burned, I had headaches, acid reflux, IBS, esophogitis, diverticulitis, I tossed and turned all night long and would wake up exhausted. Like I said, I was MISERABLE!

I saw an ad on Facebook for Skinny Fiber and a before and after testimonial and thought "that's fake".  I'd been on every diet plan, taken diet pills, shots, HCG, and all the fad diets you see in the magazines while your waiting to check out at the grocery store.  Yes, some of them worked, some didn't, but I was always hungry, felt deprived, tired and drained.  I'd give in to a dessert or go out with my friends for lunch and screw up, then I'd give up and all the weight would come back with a few friends.

I really don't have an answer or reason why I clicked on that website and purchased Skinny Fiber except that they did offer a 30 day empty bottle money back guarantee.  I really didn't think it would work, and was totally expecting to get my money back in 30 days.  Within 1 week, I started noticing something happening.  I was a Diet Dr. Pepper FREAK...that's all I drank, I would drink 4 or 5 - 32 oz fountain drinks EVERYDAY!  It was crazy, but I didn't crave and need the diet pop anymore.  I wanted water!  It was funny, but I realized that I hadn't taken my prescription meds for acid reflux in a day or two and I hadn't eaten any TUMS or Rolaids.  So I kept taking the Skinny Fiber and after 30 days, I had lost 11 lbs and lot's of inches.

Since I've been taking Skinny Fiber, I'm not hungry, I don't feel deprived, because I can eat whatever I want to eat.  Skinny Fiber expands in your stomach making you feel fuller faster, so you are able to control your portion sizes.  The digestive enzymes in Skinny Fiber fixed all my gut problems.  No more acid reflux, no more IBS, no more diverticulitis episodes, no more esophogitis.  My aches and pains are gone and when I go to bed now I actually sleep and wake up feeling very rested.

I'm a slow loser, no metabolism to speak of, I don't exercise like I should but I've still lost 38 lbs and 60".  I'm now wearing a size Large in my tops (I've got big boobs) and a size 10 in some jeans others I'm still in a 12.  So I knew things were happening, but I really couldn't see it that much.  My family wasn't noticing, if they were they weren't saying anything.

Okay, the reason I've gone into this story again is because...

This morning I woke up, I'm going to Branson, MO this weekend for a Skinny Fiber meeting and decided I'd better dye my hair and wash away the gray.  I grabbed a box of color from the cabinet (I bought 5 boxes one day because they were on sale) and mixed it up and started applying it to my roots.  I wasn't really paying to much attention and then I looked in the mirror.  I normally put dark blonde on my hair, because I feel like it lets me go a little longer with the gray not being as noticable as it would in dark brown hair.  As the color processes on my hair it starts turning a dark color with a little purple in it.

Back to the mirror, when I looked at myself, my hair was clown orange.  I grabbed the box and I had dark auburn.  Most of my hair was covered, the beginning had been on at least 10 minutes.  I didn't know whether to rinse it out right then and put the dark blonde over it or just dye all of my hair orange.  So that's what I did.  I was really nervous about what the color would be.  In fact, when I was rinsing it out in the shower, the water looked like someone had been stabbed.

I had taken a picture of the orange goo on my head and sent it to my BFF for her to see my clown orange mess.  She told me it would probably be okay and to send her a picture after I dried my hair.

About an hour later, hair dried, eye make up and lipstick on.  I took a selfie.  I was really suprised at how pretty I felt.  The picture I was looking at didn't look like the girl in the mirror.  So I found a picture that I HATE of myself from my daughters college graduation last May.  I put the old picture and the new picture side by side and I was in total shock.  Here's the picture, what do you think?



In the first picture I was so miserable, It was a happy occassion, but I wasn't happy.  Today, I'm happy and I feel pretty.  I haven't felt pretty in 25 years.
