I have given birth to 4 beautiful children, with each one adding about 15 pounds to my overall size. After each birth, I was heavier, more tired, and, honestly, I felt uglier. I didn't like the changes I saw in the mirror.

I guess it didn't help that I loved delicious food. Good food isn't exactly your priority but there is plenty of it.

My grandchildren didn't want me to play with them because they knew I couldn't keep up, and it wasn't fun. My friends didn't invite me to restaurants because they knew I couldn't walk 20 steps without panting. My husband hiked alone because he didn't want to end up asking hikers to help get me back home.

The worst part is that I saw it in the way he looked at me. I know he loved me, but I looked nothing like the woman he fell in love with. And I couldn't blame him for feeling that way.

One day, it all changed...

A woman I'd never met offered me a handkerchief as she sat next to me. She was my age but half my size. And she said something that changed my life.

She said, "I've been overweight just like you, but everything changed when I discovered an 'ancient Mediterranean ritual'".

She said it helped her lose over 100 pounds in an amazing amount of time, which would surprise you.

I didn't buy it because I've tried every diet out there.

"But it's not a diet," she said as she reached into her purse and gave me a piece of paper with specific instructions.

I did the 10-Second Ancient Mediterranean ritual for three days before checking the scale (I didn't want to jinx it.)

When I finally looked, I couldn't believe the results. I had lost 5 pounds. It was amazing!

I had my husband bring in the scale from the bathroom so I could check again.

But there it was, as plain as day. I'd gone down from 267 to 262 pounds!

The results were remarkable!
