This Mom Dropped 105 Pounds By Eliminating Coffee From Her Diet

As many parents can attest to, the introduction of children into your life can mean all of your past priorities fly out the window.

You can usually find my kids well-dressed and fed, and I’m just over in the corner hungry and dehydrated with my hair like a rat’s nest.

For one mother of three, Lorraine, this pattern held true. After having kids, she focused on them and let her own health start to slip. But it got to a point where she was so unsatisfied with how she was living her life — the insomnia, the night eating — that she decided to make a huge change.

And she did it by cutting out one simple drink from her diet!

SHARE Lorraine’s story with every mom you know so we can be reminded that we matter too and we can’t let go of our own happiness.

Lorraine O’Loughlin of Northern Ireland is a stay-at-home mom of three.

Though she loves her children very much, she was missing out on some pretty great moments with them due to her weight.

She had always struggled with her weight growing up.

But when she reached 266 pounds, she didn’t want to leave the house and therefore very rarely took her kids out to the park to play.

Also contributing to her poor health was her insomnia.

Night after night, Lorraine found herself wide awake, so she would eat to pass the time.

Being up all night meant that she would need something to help her get through the day with three kids.

So how did she do it? How did she raise three kids with no sleep at night?
