Determined, I threw myself into every diet and exercise plan I could find.
First, I signed up for a bootcamp. But my knees screamed in pain after just a week. The weight was too much for my joints to handle.
Next, I tried the juice cleanse craze. It worked for a few days—until my cravings took over, and I found myself binging on snacks late at night.
Then, I went full-on low-carb. Cutting out pasta, bread, and even fruit. But after weeks of deprivation, the scale still didn’t budge.
That’s when I started to wonder… Was there something wrong with me? Was my metabolism permanently broken?
I scheduled an appointment with my doctor to find out.
