Overcoming Struggles
“Been through the most these past couple of years. If I can tell you the details, you will be shaken. All my pain manifested into comfort eating and my body was not able to release the toxins. @ubettinawethu helped me reduce some of my financial struggles. I was able to focus on myself. I was able to come out of a toxic situation and stand on my own two feet.
“My confidence took many knocks and I’m still working on it, but weight loss has helped me look and feel better,” she wrote.
