Halloween…

A little over a year ago on the 4th of July, I lost my mom due to health complications from diabetes and other underlying health conditions. Halloween was her favorite holiday. She would decorate the whole front yard, the front of the house and inside the house. She also made a huge pot of chili and all our neighbors and friends would stop by to have a bowl. Her passing has been hard for me in many aspects and is one of my reasons for joining YL. It was especially hard because knew I was headed down the same path with my own health issues. I was having to take medication for diabetes and high blood pressure and then more over-the-counter medications for the side affects of the medication and on and on. I was morbidly obese and on a path I didn’t want to be on anymore. In my quest to get healthy, I realized that getting healthy wasn’t just about what I was eating. It was about what we put on our bodies, what I cleaned with, lotions we used, pest treatments, laundry soap, makeup, food and the list goes on.

Young Living and low carb have helped me in my quest to get healthier by helping me to loose weight, eliminate one of my diabetes medications and going from diabetic status to pre-diabetic. I am just a mere 7 points from going from obese to overweight on the BMI chart. Young Living has truly helped change my life. Follow me on Instagram to learn more. Dutchcreekoils
