Some weeks feel like progress. This week? It feels like purpose!
Two consistent weeks —down 7 pounds and 42.5 inches! Honestly, there are no words to describe how I feel, both physically and mentally. For the first time in years, I don’t just see results — I feel them. I feel lighter in every sense of the word.
But the real magic this week wasn’t in the numbers. It was in my why.
I reached out to a friend and asked if they’d share my story with anyone they knew who was looking to lose weight. I told them I wanted to help others get started on the Balance & Burn journey — to find the same hope I’ve found. My friend said they wanted to try it too but money was tight right now. Then they told me something that stopped me in my tracks: their doctor wants them to lose 40 pounds because of medical issues, and they were considering having a balloon inserted to force weight loss. That hit me hard. I know what it’s like to be desperate for change. I begged them not to go through with it — not until they gave Balance & Burn a fair chance. I shared my own story, how I had gastric bypass years ago. Yes, it worked — for a while. But eventually, most of the weight came back. Because while surgery changes your body, it doesn’t automatically heal your mindset.
So I made them an offer:
I told them I’d buy their first month’s supply myself. No strings attached. I wanted them to focus on feeling better, not worrying about money. They tried to refuse, to insist on paying — but I wouldn’t let them. That’s how much I believe in this product. That’s how much I believe in them. This friend has Type II Diabetes, takes multiple medications, and is under pressure from their doctor. Still — they said yes. They said yes to hope. Yes to letting me hold them accountable. Yes to trying something new and natural before resorting to something drastic.

And you know what? That’s when it hit me. This isn’t just about me anymore.
This little system, this new energy, this renewed confidence — it’s turning into something bigger.

It’s my calling.
My voice. My chance to help others the way I wish someone could have helped me when I was struggling.
I don’t know where this journey is taking me yet. But what I do know is that passion looks a lot like purpose — and this week, I’ve never been more sure that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
Because this time, it’s not a resolution.
It’s a New ME resolution.
