“I Have My Life Back” - How a Chronically Depressed Mom of 3 Lost 39 lbs Without Exercising
Published on 2024/05/05 · 945,987 views
I used to think that weight loss plans were a scam.
I’d seen friends get excited about this or that new fad, only to get their hearts broken when it didn’t work.
And I’d experienced it for myself, trying weight loss plans that sounded good, only to end up gaining even more back.
So I assumed that none of it worked and I was just destined to always be chubby.
I told myself that there was more to life than being slim, that I was just curvaceous, but it didn’t really make me feel better.
Now, it’s still hard to believe that I’m actually 39 pounds lighter than I used to be!

I tell my friends that if I can do it, anyone can do it.
I was overweight, chronically depressed, on meds, working, and looking after 3 young kids.
Plus, I didn’t have time to exercise, and I just had no motivation because I felt so bad about myself.
How much worse could it be, right?
Looking back now, I fully credit this app for saving my life.

So, let me explain how I got here.
I used to be that girl who could eat anything and stay at 120 pounds.
Then I got married and had a baby around a year later.
Then I got married and had a baby around a year later.
I gained about 30 pounds during my pregnancy.
And with a colicky baby, then going back to work and having to look after a little one, I actually didn’t notice how out-of-hand my weight had gotten.
But I assumed it would just “go back to normal” after some time.
Until I had my second baby, and then my third.

At this point, I was about 50 pounds overweight.
Then, I started having weight-related health issues.
Which spiraled quite quickly.
For about 2 years, I battled my way through depression.
And eventually, my doctor told me that if I didn’t make changes, I might not be around to see my kids grow up.
Which shocked me so much that I went home and told my husband I needed to commit to something to lose weight NOW.
(By the way, I have an amazing husband who stood by me through all my struggles, and it’s also thanks to him that I found this amazing solution!)

While we were researching, I kept seeing the words “cortisol detox” pop up.
I’d heard about cortisol before but I always kind of thought it was just an excuse to not exercise (I know, right…)
So I brushed it off and decided to join a gym and put a meal plan together.
And I’m sure you can guess how that went.
After 3 weeks, I felt even worse about myself and I canceled my brand new gym contact.
And then I went home and ate a pizza.
When my husband got home, he suggested he keep looking for other solutions (after spending an hour consoling me).
Again, there was “CORTISOL DETOX” all over the internet.

So I thought, “Okay, maybe there’s something to this.”
I stopped looking for what to do to lose weight and started looking at which cortisol detox program to invest in. And that’s when I found a tool that had a ton of amazing reviews and people talking about their huge success with it.
So I went all in… And I’m still all in, 39 pounds down and still losing!
This app called Digesti caught my eye.
It actually all started with a free quiz.
I was curious to see what my results would be, so of course I spent a few minutes doing it.
My results not only gave me some interesting information, but they also gave me an idea of how long it would take to reach my goal weight with Digesti.
It actually gave me hope!
And I figured it was a sign when I saw they had a massive sale at that time.
So I decided to commit to 30 days.
And this time, it felt different.
They sent me a personal plan, specific to my issues and my needs.
I had a tailored meal plan, an activity guide, and 24/7 guidance and support.

But what really kept me going, is that when I lost 7 lbs on the app, they refunded my sign-up fee AND let me keep using it!
I’m 39 pounds down now. I would NEVER have gotten here without Digesti.
Sometimes it scares me to think about where I would be now if I hadn’t found them.
And if my husband hadn’t encouraged me to keep looking until I found the right thing ;)
My life has changed. I’m happy, I’m confident, and I KNOW I can do this.
And I can finally play with my kids, keep up with my husband, and I’m enjoying life.
Depression under control without crazy meds. My goal weight within reach.
I never thought I’d feel this happy, this energetic.
Ladies (and guys!), if you’re feeling hopeless about losing weight and wondering if you’ll ever feel good about yourself again, I can vouch for Digesti.
