Why can everyone around me eat whatever they want?

"Why can everyone else in the world seem to eat all the foods with no issues?! And I have to work my BUTT off!" I’ve been guilty of this pity party too many times 🥳 

Here’s what I want you to Understand 💛 just because people seem to eat all the food without issues doesn’t mean they don’t have issues!!!! Looks can be deceiving and talking about gas, bloating, loose stools and food sensitivities aren’t typical party conversations (except if you are at a party with me…. I’m here for it alll!!!!) 

It can be a few things: they likely aren’t talking about it, they think their symptoms are normal OR things are fine until they aren’t fine.

People’s unhealthy habits will catch up to them one day…in one way or another. They might start experiencing some bloating here and there and chalk it up to it being normal because of age… but bloating is not normal.

When someone’s metabolism is slow, they have fewer nutritional requirements, which allows their bodies to live on smaller amounts of food. The problem is - these people usually have less energy, drive, motivation and vitality. Many people who eat whatever they want to have a low sex drive, low energy, muscle loss, low motivation and sleep problems like trouble falling asleep, not waking up rested or waking up in the night.

We often aren’t taught what IS normal when it comes to digestive issues, bowel movements, inability to lose weight etc…..other people might experience similar things and can relate so we take that as being normal.

Maybe, you had your gallbladder out and have had loose stools since. No one told you what to DO after you had your gallbladder removed and you have had loose stools since. It becomes “normal” when in fact this is NOT normal!! 

But our symptoms are signs. Signs that something is up.

You see…

  • feeling cold all the time

  • Only pooping 2-3 times a week

  • Feeling bloated after your meals

  • Waking up and not feeling hungry in the morning

There are so many symptoms people see as normal… when I’m reality it is their body trying to talk to them but they just aren’t aware. 

You aren’t alone in your symptoms, and the best part, they don’t have to be forever! YOU ARE IN CONTROL!!

People around you can’t just eat what they want and get away with it. The fact that you are aware of this is a great place to start. You are recognizing that what you put in your body MATTERS!

I don’t know about you, but a healthy life to me is strength, mental clarity, happiness, not relying on medication, no bloating, not being sick all the time, glowing skin and hair, and good poops!
