Still Thriving! :)
Mar 09, 2016
Its funny, when I first saw people talking about Thrive I thought it was a weight loss gimmick and i am so against those. after having been a sucker to all these scams all my life. Then I saw it was a direct sales (MLM) company and i was like FUUUUCK THAT! i hate those things!!! ughhh. But after my plastic surgery to remove lose skin i had the hardest time getting back to the old me. recovery is a bitch. I never knew how long i would be out of comission for. I found myself drinking coffee and 2 energy drinks a day just to get to normal. just to take care of my son. it sucked. i was looking for something. some kind of detox cleanse or something bc i knew i needed to detox my system from all the crap i was eating. as i was looking i disregarded Thrive altogether. I looked into lots of things because i was looking for energy, but also something to help detox my system. I looked into motive8 products bc ericafitlove is all about that life and i figured it must be good. but $60 for pre-workout?? are you serious? Then i looked into Advocare bc i wanted to try SPARK and also i heard good things about it and they had detox stuff, but to be honest it was too many products and too complicated and i wasn't trying to complicate my life.
eventually, after a lot of eye rolling, i FINALLY gave in and tried Thrive. I have to say, i am very knowledgable about supplelements, i have taken many many many of them. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Thrive contained all the vitamins and supplements i already took and more. all in 3 easy steps. so instead of taking like 15 pills spread out throughout the day, i take 2 pills in the morning, drink a mix and put on this cool DFT and i'm done in the first 30 min. not gonna lie, i felt NOTHING day 1, day 2, and day 3 i felt tired and sick. then finally on day 4 i was like woah...i had a little burt of energy. i actually went for a walk that day, which was huge for me. i finally started to feel human again. thats when i said, i need to continue this. it wasn't instant. it was a subtle, gradual but steady progression. after a few days i didn't need coffee, after 2 weeks i didn't need any energy drinks, and every day it got better and better. here i am 7 months later and it continues to get better!! i am just now finally starting to get back to that hardcore working out/energetic/getting it all done woman i was before plastics. FINALLY!!! i could have been here alot sooner but i'll be honest, i had a detour over the holidays. i just kind of went all out and let jesus take the wheel and ate what i wanted and didn't work out at all. i kept busy with lots of other things and had no disicpline. lol. and while Thrive kept my energy going and my sleep up, i wasn't feeling as good as i know i could bc i was practicing bad habits. and Thrive isn't a magic pill. it's vitamins and supplements that work ALOT better when you're not eating CRAP! hahaha. but fuck it, life happens, i had fun. but came back in jan ready to get myself together.
and what i'm noticing is my hard work is paying off a lot faster. i'm seeing progress alot more quickly with Thrive and thats amazing. really keeps me motivated. i've done this completely on my own before and i guess bc of my PCOS its the slowest process ever. took me a year to lose 30lbs. and that was a year of diet and exercise! now i don't have to push myself as hard to see the results. i stay active and i eat in moderation and i'm STILL seeing great results! i'm so excited!! i'm actually trying for baby #2 and i want to get as fit as i can before so that i will have a fit pregnancy and keep it up so i can bounce back quicker this time.
i dropped all those pre-conceived notions i had about Thrive. it has helped me tremendously!! Energy, sleep, and mood were huge issues for me and Thrive has helped so much with all 3. i feel sexy again. i feel strong and capable and HAPPY!! i'm excited about life again and i'm soooo grateful!!!!
i just wish there was a way to introduce people to Thrive in a way that didn't seem salesy because it takes a while for people to drop those walls like i did and actually give it a chance.
