The Turning Point

Detox foot pads are the best ever!! Read my story of self-discovery below to decide if this is for you.

My Struggles

For quite some time, I had been struggling to lose my excess unwanted bulk but felt constantly at war with myself.

There seemed to be an unacknowledged gap in the scheme of things that I couldn’t quite put my finger on.

Television shows, radio advertisements, billboards and social media infomercials all seemed to well-meaningly cover healthy eating habits. How much sugar was really in a can of Coca-Cola (apparently 13 teaspoons). Products that seemed to work in the short term (protein shakes, Gummies, Ozempic).

The Problem

What wasn’t being addressed for me was why my soul felt ripped apart whenever I said no to chocolate, donuts or nougat. Why my body chemistry seemed so determined to bring me to my knees when I stood up to it.

A well intentioned yet patronizing radio advertisement was playing in the car during one of my commutes one day. The woman’s voiceover on the add had an attractive, smug and all-knowing quality. She was rhetorically asking her target audience why Kylie was drinking a can of soft drink (containing 13 -16 teaspoons of sugar) her body didn’t need.

I couldn’t help but say out loud to an empty car that that didn’t seem to be the point. Why did Kylie want to drink it despite the evidence that it was not ideal?! What psychological torture was her body putting her under to make her drink the offending beverage her body didn’t need?! Why was her body and mind making this particular demand?!

Magda Subanski on ABC1 put 13 teaspoons of sugar into her tea and pronounced it to be disgusting. I couldn’t help but wonder if other viewers felt the same as I did. Were they asking themselves why is tea that sweet so disgusting to drink and not soft drinks!? They have been cleverly concocted to be deceptively pleasant to peoples palate’s! My son certainly can’t leave them alone!

Discovering The Solution

I am also partial to gaming sessions on my phone. Kakuro, Solitaire and Ball Sort are my favourites. This is where I came across an advertisement for an Eastern medicine product. As I usually ignore all the advertising and feel it’s potentially a scam, I held off on taking action. But after a while, in spite of myself, I found I was actually starting to warm to a particular product.

Detox foot pads!!

What if they were some sort of money-making scam? I didn’t want to fall prey to losing money to something that might not work at the whim of my desperation.

Eventually, desperation won out and I decided to chance one packet. What harm could this do?

I put in my online order and proceeded to wait for the product. I felt yet another glimmer of hope that this time, maybe things would be different. Even feelings of hope were starting to feel cautiously familiar to me. That was how long I had been trying unsuccessfully to solve this problem.

10 days later, my order arrived on the day of my son’s graduation ceremony. As I prepared for bed that night, I assembled the first pair of my $33 ten pack of Nubu foot patches and hopped into bed.

The next morning, I awoke with a rare feeling of Christmas Day Excitement. Gently peeling off the lavender scented bandages, I was greeted by the promised black patches from the advertisements.

The Desired Outcome

Over time, I have discovered other brands that are easier on the wallet (sorry Nubu, you’ll always be my first).

Assembling and attaching them is quite easy, too. Half of the price with my first pack would have been in the product already being assembled. Putting it together myself for a much more reasonable price has been worth it. These Detox foot pads are the best ever!!

As I continued with this process, I found I was able to successfully abstain from my favourite high calorie treats. Occasionally, I’ll find myself with that urge to chomp into the nearest chocolate bar. But it doesn’t last very long and I’m able to reason with myself.

I have so far lost over 17 kilograms (but with just as much to go) towards my goal weight. But I’m definitely feeling better. Walking around isn’t as arduous as it was and my clothes are slowly fitting me the way they used to.

Hopeful Parental Influence

A couple of nights ago, my son asked me if exercising felt really hard for me. He struggles with his weight as I’ve posted in Christmas Night Resolutions. I proceeded to tell him about my joyous discovery. For the second time, I’ve found that addressing my diet first seems to aide a more successful exercise routine. His love of food is proving to be as difficult for him as it was for me. Being his mother, I’m not sure how much I can help him without putting him off. I can only hope the proof I’m discovering slowly rubs off on him. Meanwhile, we’ll continue to meet with his NDIS funded dietician, Exercise Physiology and Mentoring sessions.

While I told him of my success, I felt compelled to pass it on to anyone in my position. It’s a hard weight loss world out there and we all need each other.

My Conclusion

Judging gets us nowhere and could only makes things worse. We need solutions, patience and kindness. Not punishment!

If you are interested, I highly recommend this product. Just click on this link to my other page which recommends products you might like to try. You can decide for yourself if Detox foot pads are the best ever for you.

Everyone is different and can respond differently to the same things. So, you may find this, or any other products, helpful. I will also be trying out more products and will let you know how I go.

I hope this has been helpful for anyone. Wishing all my readers the best success on their attempts at turning things around for themselves.
