My Name is Carmen Archibald and this is my Thrive experience! My situation is not unique, I know there are others out there who can relate to my story and that is why I am writing it down. When I was 31 due to some Health Challenges, I had a complete hysterectomy. Fast forward 12 years of trying this and that and finding nothing that works to bring you back to feeling somewhat normal. You get to a point where you give up and feel like this is just how it’s going to be. From the outside looking in, quite honestly if you know me, you know I am happy, you know I have a wonderful husband and 3 amazing kids, and great long lasting friendships, and if you know me then you know that my life was pretty darn good. But what you didn’t know is that at home, behind closed doors, I lived a life of an unenergetic coach potato, as time past I gained weight as my body slowed down more and more, living in a brain fog that left me forgetful and unable to carry on a conversation without stumbling over my words. Every day household chores were overwhelming, and my kids and my husband, oh my poor kids, and husband, they paid dearly for my lack of patience, and mild mood changes. This didn’t create such a happy place to be at times, and let’s just say I was the thermostat in my family. If I was having a bad day, then everyone was having a bad day. It’s hard to admit it to myself and put this down in actual words, let alone throw this out there for the world to see. The guilt I felt and feel for putting my loved ones through my hardship hurts my heart daily, but I had nothing to change it. It took me a month of seeing Facebook posts to decide to contact my good friend Connie about Thrive, and all I can say is “WOW!!” I got my life back, and more importantly my Husband and Children got their wife and mom back. I was one of the lucky ones, and within a couple of hours, “BAM” my brain was awake. For the first time in a while I actually felt like the fog was gone. It is so hard to explain, but it felt like a million little cells were igniting in my mind. It sounds crazy, but it’s the truth. Couple days in my husband calls from work, and he could hear my enthusiasm through the phone, and could tell that there was a huge difference in me and our conversations were no longer the negative, miserable 5 min venting session’s, and what the heck I have patience, where did that come from. Two weeks in I started noticing things in my body changing that I didn’t even realize were a problem, I just chalked up the stomach discomfort, and back aches to “Oh well, this is normal, it will go away in a few hours” Now here I am, I have been taking Thrive for 3 months and still seeing changes, and instead of it taking 3 hrs of drifting in and out to fall asleep for the night, I am going to bed and falling asleep within 10 minutes. I wake up feeling rested, and not shuffling out of bed like I was 90 years old waiting for the kinks to work themselves out. I have energy, and a lust for life like I did when I was in my 20’s. My family and household is calm and the positive energy is rubbing off on everyone, no more tension and walking on eggshells, that right there is worth its weight in gold and I am never going back to where I was. Thriver for life!!!! So when you ask me “Why” all the posts. It’s because I know that somewhere out there you may be giving up or you know someone that has given up, and think that this just how it’s going to be, and I am telling you that it doesn’t have to be. Trust the people who are bringing this Lifestyle Experience to you because you having nothing to lose but everything to gain!!!
