Today, I’m going to share with you the biggest mistake I’ve made, I think ever, and how it affected the way I think, the way I feel, and what I put in my mouth. It’s a big reveal.

So friends, remember, I help women over 40 to get healthy, lose that belly fat, increase their energy and change the way they think about losing weight. It’s all about Ditch the Diet Roadmap, the workshop that I’m going to be teaching very soon.

Now, here’s what I learned. I’m a human being who can win and fail just like everyone else. When my health journey first started, I learned how to ditch the lies and embrace the truth about food, my body, its systems, and how they work together for optimal health and weight loss.

What I didn’t realize was that life can sucker punch you and knock you totally off your journey. It can actually cause you to gain weight back if you don’t stay focused on putting yourself first.

My mistake…I chose to put a lot of things and other people first before myself. I allowed my heart to get really wrapped up and take ownership of some situations that weren’t mine to have ownership of. I was just, so to speak, the caretaker, not the owner.

When circumstances changed, it rocked my world big time. I slid into depression, sort of a numb state. I won’t say I was depressed, but it wasn’t a good place. I started not caring about what I looked like. I started forgetting to eat. Instead, I slipped back into my old habits of feeding my face junk just to console myself.

I know it doesn’t make sense, not a lick of sense. I know better.

Yet it happened. So long story short my heart was hurting. I fed the mouth to turn off the brain and console myself, and I packed on 30 pounds.

So why would you want to follow me? Why would you want me to help guide you to the best weight loss for yourself?

I’ll tell you why. Because I can admit my fault. I know how to stop it. It only went on for 30 days, but those 30 days were intense. I did a lot of damage to my body. So now I’m repairing it, and I’m feeling so much better and in a better mental place. I’m in a better physical place and ready to help you get started.

So who’s with me?

If you’re reading this on my blog, send me a message. If you’re reading this in the email newsletter, reply to the email.

Raise your hand, and say, Carla, I wanna do what you did. And if you are hearing this from a friend or a neighbor or a family member, ask them, “How do I get a hold of Carla? I wanna feel better. I wanna have more energy. I wanna get rid of the belly fat that causes so many issues”.

So with that, friends, I hope that my admission of guilt gives you a little peek inside at who I really am, my real intent in helping you, and how I’m qualified to do so.
