I didn't hate my body.
I was just tired of every outfit, mirror, and Monday reset reminding me I didn’t feel like myself.
Somewhere along the way,
my body started taking up too much space in my mind.

Not in a dramatic way.
More like little moments that kept adding up.
My jeans felt tighter than I remembered. I started changing outfits three times before leaving the house.
I became way too aware of my stomach when I sat down. Photos with friends started feeling less fun. And every time I scrolled online, I somehow found another woman who made me feel behind.
Perfect waist.
Perfect outfit.
Perfect routine.
Perfect everything.
Then I would look at myself and think:
“Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
Not because I looked terrible. I didn’t. That almost made it more confusing. I could still get dressed. Still show up. Still look normal from the outside.
But inside, I felt uncomfortable. Disconnected. Like my body was suddenly the loudest thing in the room.
The routine always started the same way. Every time I felt uncomfortable in my body, I would do the same thing.
I would create a new plan.
No sugar.
No carbs after 6 pm.
Gym five days a week.
Meal prep everything.
More water.
More steps.
Start again Monday.
And for a few days, I would feel motivated. Honestly, the plan always sounded amazing on Sunday night. That was the problem. I was not building routines for the woman I actually was. I was building them for the woman I wished I was.
The one who wakes up at 5 am.
Never craves sweets.
Always has her meals ready.
Never forgets her water bottle.
Somehow has the perfect routine before Monday even starts.
That woman sounded great.
She just was not me.
Then real life would happen.
Work got stressful.
I got tired.
I missed one thing.
I ate something I told myself I would not.
And suddenly, I felt like I had failed again. That was the part that hurt most. Not just feeling heavy or bloated. But feeling like I could not trust myself to stay consistent.
Then by Sunday, I would be planning an even stricter Monday reset. As if being harder on myself was going to make me more consistent.
It never did.

For a long time, I thought I was the problem I thought I needed more discipline.
More control.
More motivation.
A stricter plan.
A cleaner routine.
A better Monday.
But looking back, I do not think I kept falling off because I was lazy. I think I kept falling off because the plan was too extreme for my actual life. It was too big to survive stress.
Too strict to survive cravings.
Too perfect to survive a normal week.
And every time it collapsed, I blamed myself instead of questioning the plan. That is the cycle so many of us get stuck in.
Compare.
Panic.
Create a strict plan.
Fall off.
Feel guilty.
Start again Monday.
It feels like a discipline problem.
But most of the time, it is a routine problem.
The shift was not a new rule
It was a new belief
The goal was not wrong.
I still wanted to feel lighter.
I still wanted to feel more confident.
I still wanted to feel in control of my body.
But I realized something:
I didn’t need to shame myself into change.
I needed to support myself into consistency. I did not need another full life reset.
I needed one small step that could survive my real life.
Something I could repeat even when I was not feeling perfectly motivated.
That became the idea I wish I had understood sooner:
The Small Step Consistency Loop.
Start with one body support step that feels easy enough to Repeat it long enough for it to become part of your routine. Let consistency rebuild the trust you lost from constantly starting over. That was the first time I stopped asking,
“How do I change everything by Monday?”
And started asking:
“What is one small step I can actually repeat?”

Why most “healthy habits” are harder to stick with than they sound. This is where apple cider vinegar came up for me.
I had heard about it before. A lot of women have.
Apple cider vinegar has been talked about in the wellness and weight management space for years.
But the liquid form?
That was another story.
The taste.
The smell.
The burn.
The bottle sitting in the cupboard after day four because I kept telling myself I would start again tomorrow.
It was supposed to be a simple habit.
But it became one more thing I could not stay consistent with. And that is exactly the problem.
A step does not help much if it is too unpleasant, too inconvenient, or too easy to quit. I did not need another harsh habit to force. I needed the body support idea in a form I could actually repeat.
Why Gabea felt different and why it made the most sense.
I didn’t want another dramatic promise.
I didn’t want another product pretending my body would change overnight. I didn’t want a white coat explanation from someone who had no idea what it felt like to avoid jeans before brunch.
And I definitely did not want another reset that made me feel like I had to restart my whole life.
I wanted something simple that supported the body goals I was already working toward.
Gabea became that small daily step.
Two gummies a day.
Zero sugar.
Apple cider vinegar.
B vitamins.
Vegan.
Gluten free.
Non GMO.
For me, that looked like two gummies every morning with my regular coffee.
Not a glass of harsh liquid apple cider vinegar.
Not a green smoothie at 5 am.
Not a full personality change.
Not another plan I would quit by Friday.
A simple body support step I could actually keep doing.
Not a magic fix.
Not a replacement for eating better, moving more, or taking care of myself.
Just one repeatable step that helped me feel like I was finally doing something for my body instead of constantly fighting against it. And honestly, that mattered. Because once I stopped treating my body like the enemy, staying consistent became easier.
Why the 90 Day Back In Control System made the most sense.
Why the 90 Day Back In Control System made the most sense. I didn’t want another 7 day reset.
I’d done that before.
Start strong.
Fall off.
Feel guilty.
Restart.
Repeat.
I wanted enough time to actually build the habit.
That’s why the 90 Day Back In Control System made sense to me. Not because I expected magic. Because I wanted to give myself a real chance to stay consistent.
One small step.
Every day.
Long enough to feel the difference in my routine. Long enough for it to become something I did for myself, not another thing I had to force. That is why 90 days matters. Not because your body needs pressure.
Because your routine needs time.
Time to stop treating this like another quick reset. Time to make the step feel normal.
Time to rebuild the trust you lost from starting over so many times.
Women are starting with Gabea for the same reason
They are tired of the reset cycle.
They are tired of comparison
deciding how they feel about their bodies.
They are tired of trying to become a perfect version of themselves overnight.
They are tired of liquid apple cider vinegar that feels harsh, inconvenient, and hard to stick with.
They want something smaller.
Something realistic.
Something that fits into work mornings, school runs, traffic, family plans, late nights, cravings, stress, and actual life.
