About Shame

⚠️ Emotional post warning ⚠️

Shame is “a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.” 💔

When my dad was about my age he was told he was pre-diabetic and he made some RADICAL life shifts. It’s so funny how stories repeat themselves. 😳 He started taking vitamins and supplements, he changed his diet, he became faithful with exercise. He didn’t push it on my mom but he set clear boundaries for his own health. I have ALWAYS admired his self-control, but I perpetuated this thought👇🏻 in regards to my own story: “I don’t have the self-control my dad has.”

I knew the healthy choices. I knew the right choices for my body on some level, but through my mid-twenties and late twenties and early thirties, I ignored what I knew was best for me and continued to go down a path that caused pleasure for my mouth, but ultimately led me to feel worse and worse and worse. Tired, so deeply tired, weary, embarrassed about my body, overwhelmed by how to even START making good choices, feeling like I was failing my kids, so much stress being carried in my body. My dad NEVER pushed me or made me feel shame. He just loved me. But I felt it of my own volition. I knew that when it came to my health, I was being foolish. But I was stuck because I DIDN’T TRULY BELIEVE THAT I WAS WORTHY OF CHANGE. And I didn’t believe I could do it. 😳

I tried EVERY single health program I could find. Like you name it, I tried it. Even the ones based in psychology. They were a little helpful, but it never stuck. I always derailed after a few months. Which caused more guilt and more shame and more embarrassment. Why couldn’t I do what other people could do?

But then a beautiful friend looked me in the eye one day and she let me borrow her belief in me. 👉🏻 She said “Emma, you CAN do this.” And she said it with such empathy and love and compassion that it made me feel those things for myself too. 😭 I love you Tabitha Goldsmith

About the same time I started hearing more about gut health and I thought “I haven’t tried that yet.” My friend shared her results and how she loved it and two other friends shared their belief in me too - Heather Kaweck SchamperMissie McGovern and Noelle Rottier you were so instrumental to me!! ♥️ I surrendered my journey to Jesus and gave it to Him, and I jumped in. And it changed everything for me physically. Like I felt HOPE, and energy and confidence and healing. I started seeing my cravings change. I started being able to WANT to exercise. The belief I had borrowed from my friends started to become my OWN belief. “I can do this! I AM doing this!” became the new narrative.

After a year of AWESOME results, RESET was released. And after just 3 days of the Reset, I went from about 12 lbs lost in a year (plus so many other amazing benefits) to about 17 lbs lost and I saw another HUGE up-level in my self-control and my cravings. 👏🏻 Metabolic reset is no joke. 👏🏻 The average person loses up to 6 lbs on the Reset and it’s not water weight!

I wish I had been able to start with the Reset and continue with our gut-health protocol right from the very beginning. I can’t go back and my story is beautiful and my own. I can’t start that way, but YOU can!! 🎉 You can press the do-over button and take control. You can say goodbye to shame, embarrassment, overwhelm, uncertainty, feeling stuck, or anything else on your list.

If anything I just shared resonates or made you emotional or made you nod your head and say “yes, I’m there right now.” Or “I have been there.” Let’s chat. 💬

There is so much hope for you. 🙌🏻 🙌🏿 And you can borrow my belief until you find your own. I can pray for you. I can help you with your mindset and I can encourage you in your health journey. Let’s do this together. I’ve got you.
