Stephanie Reduced Chronic Pain with the Challenge!
"My name is Stephanie and I am a 46-year-old mother of three amazing kids and grandmother to three beautiful grandkids.
When I signed up for the 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge and one of my greatest challenges were my physical limitations.
I had major back surgery in 2008 that caused my spine to worsen. Due to the surgery, my weight began to spiral and my pain level increased tremendously, some days so much that I just couldn’t function. I lived with chronic pain for years and had just accepted that this was my life.
On top of it all was my addiction to food. I just wanted to eat all the time. I figured if I wasn’t able to do much, at least I could do what I enjoyed, and that was eating.
I realized then that I really needed to take my health seriously. I was tired of living in pain. So I gathered my courage and signed up for the 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge. Best decision ever!! Since starting the challenge I have learned so much about food.
I have learned how food really affects the body, both real and processed. I’ve learned about the importance of portion size, and how much food my body really needs.
My inflammation levels have gone way down, I look and feel thinner.
Most importantly I have learned how support and encouragement are such an important part of this entire process. So many times I have tried other programs, only to fail because I felt like I was doing it all alone.
The entire team and CFC family have encouraged me throughout the entire challenge.
I have seen results I truly never thought I would see. My energy has gone up, I no longer deal with foggy brain, I am sleeping better, hot flashes are gone and the pain in my spine has decreased significantly!
I am able to function again in everyday life. I can get out of bed and be awake, it used to take me hours to wake up.
I also don’t dread doing the daily things needed to keep life in the house running.
While I will still occasionally have pain due to my spine, there is no reversing my condition, the inflammation is gone – it is amazing!
Even my daughter told me the other day that she can see such a difference in my body, talk about encouraging! Now, this is just a way of life for us, and everyone is benefiting from it!
Here are my words of wisdom: trust, grace, vulnerability, failure, and success are the words that come to mind for anyone that is new to the challenge. TRUST, the process, trust what Rachel and her team are saying.
When the days get hard and you don’t feel like it, keep going. If you stumble, whether it is one meal, one day, or even one week, whatever that time frame is, brush yourself off, and keep going.
You and I are worth it!" -Stephanie
