My journey with Ideal Protein...




Hello everyone my name is Becky Garska.

I grew up here in the Grand valley and graduated at a local high school.  I am married and have a couple children, my family is my life.  I have always been a bigger girl most of my life and had trained myself to eat junk.  I do a lot of things with my family and it was so easy to fall into the drive thru life so here I am today at a weight that brings me down at times.

I ate at places like McDonalds, Burger King and others as well.  I fried every meal I cooked at home and loaded it with cheese and sauces.  Believe me it added on fast.  I also am a bored eater so if there are chips and such around and I am alone I would eat them.

I tried various programs like weight watchers and working out at the gym and even weight loss drugs that only made me feel terrible.  I lost some and gained twice as much back each time.  I was ready to give up and was down about my appearance. I worked with beautiful young ladies and didn't feel I fit in I was the older fat lady or so I thought.

I started work at Fruita Chiropractic and they have Ideal Protein.  I was skeptical at first but I talked to a few of the patients and saw major results so it got me thinking that I can do this for myself and my family. Since starting I have learned in just the 5 weeks that I can make my life different it wasn't that I was the depressed fat girl I just had never really known how to eat well.  I now have trained myself to eat better, like cutting out sugars and dairy which was hard for me as I was a pop drinker and ate a lot of candies.  I now eat more healthy foods like vegetables and drink tea and water.
I didn't have to give up everything good I just learned to cook it different.  I can still have goodies and still be healthy.  In the 5 weeks I have dropped down 11.5 Lbs something I have never done before.


My hope by doing this Blog and posting in it is to help others like me see that you can do this and that we are in this together. Sometimes a buddy is all you need.
