I had already participated in last year's 30 day detox and fat burn competition. I have always believed in the power and success of detoxing. Although I love food, I have learnt to change my eating habits and replace them with healthier choices, helping me realize the importance of nutrition!

That is why I decided to rejoin this year's challenge with no excuses, and set personal weight loss and detox goals for myself to reach another level of health and wellness. I achieved even more results from this year's detox challenge. Aside from losing even more weight, I got my thin waistline back! My biggest benefit was being able to deal with and improve the latest health problem I developed-a 5 cm fibroid growth in my uterus.

I went back to my doctor to get a checkup, and to his surprise, my fibroid had shrunk dramatically! He had once informed me that I needed surgery to get rid of it in the past, but it was so large that he told me it was dangerous to operate. Now that they had shrunk, he was able to get rid of it entirely! I was overwhelmed! I experienced quite a lot of pain and discomfort after my surgery, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to join in on the result announcement meeting of the 30 detox and weight loss challenge, let alone walk down the catwalk.

But when I got home, I insisted on not taking the medicine my doctor gave me, taking OV products and getting more rest instead. My body quickly recovered, and the next morning there was no pain or discomfort. I was more determined than ever to attend the results reveal of this competition, to share my experience with everyone so that more people might be able to benefit from it!

This competition has not only benefited me on a physical level, but much deeper on a mental level. I believe that everyone should detox. Health is so important! Even if you do not suffer from any illnesses or diseases, you should work hard to maintain good health, and not wait till something goes wrong to then find a solution.
