My job recently announced that it's doors will close for the NY location that I worked at in July. I already was under extreme pressure because my company was enforcing new policies that would increase attrition and destroy our already destitute morale. It was like our location was self destructing with everyone at each other's throats.
It has also been a year since I gave birth and I was so wrapped up in the confusion at work that I barely could enjoy my new addition. I wanted out so I took a chance, I quit.
How it all started:
I was told after my second c section that I should avoid having any more children. When I was rushed into the emergency Operating Room my doctor was in shock. When the surgeon opened me up, it seems as though I had an excess amount of scar tissue that were binding my internal organs. The doctor had to perform a procedure called a lysis which prompted a blood transfusion because I almost bled out. The doctor and her staff had warned me that if I were to have another c section I could possible damage my intestines resulting in carrying around a shit bag or worst, die.
During my recovery I was struggling most with my GI. No matter how careful I was about what I ate, my stomach was shredded no matter what by whatever I chose to eat. Passing gas and using the bathroom was also extremely painful. The stress at work only made the problem worst.
In November I began my lifestyle change. I started to eliminate fast food out of my life and began the path to eating clean. I avoided fast food and gave up my beloved Wendy's cheeseburgers and McDonald's fries. I would later on discover the downfall of cheating on my commitment when the food would no longer digest exposing me to further torture in the bathroom.
I have since lost all of 20 lbs of baby weight. I juice a few times a week but I still wasn't satisfied. I haven't been able to wear a bikini since I gave birth to my son when I was 19 years old. I gained 60 lbs and peaked weighing 180 lbs before birth. He is 8 years old now. My body was stretched so much at of place it was impossible to fix it without surgery. Or so I thought.
For years I tried waist training using corset, plastic wrap, Bio Oil, scar serum, Palmers coco butter, coconut oil, Shea butter, you name it. Although it improved the appearance of my stretch marks, it did little to firm my skin to perfection.
After I had my second son I was introduced to It Works Wraps. I followed the company's results for over a year because I really didn't believe it worked. After seeing the amazing pictures and speaking to clients I still was reluctant. The pictures sold a dream. An attainable dream.
So I tried the product. After just 1 wrap I felt the results. The ingredients are all natural. You can feel the camphor and menthol penetrate your skin as the other ingredients works to tighten and improve elasticity. I used the wrap in conjunction with a waist trainer and left it on for 3 hours.
This new life path that I am embarking on is about finding happiness. Ultimately my goal is to look good and feel good from the inside on out. The current situation in my life did not allow that so I quit my job a few days ago and became an It Works Distributor because I believed in the product that much.
Come follow me on my journey.
