She Had Bariatric Surgery But Didn't Gain the Weight Back
"Sure I had bariatric surgery… and some could say that was the one thing that helped. But so many people put their weight back on after having surgery because they don't change their habits. I created the habit of waking up earlier," she continues.
This Habit Helps Her Stick to These Other Habits
She maintains that "one simple thing" has helped her lose 140 lbs but also keep it off by:
- Hitting her water goals
- Taking her vitamins
- Getting in a workout.
"All before most people are getting out of bed in the morning," she says.
There Are Other Benefits
There are other benefits to being an early riser, per Jessica. "But it's also helped me in other areas. I'm spending more time with God, my house is cleaner, I feel more organized, so I'm in a much better mood," she says. "All because…I WAKE UP EARLIER."

She Also Has a Tip for Those Who Struggle to Sleep
In another post, she offers suggestions to anyone who struggles with falling asleep and shutting their brains off. "After many years of nightshift nursing I have royally messed up my sleep schedule. Some nights I'll lay in bed (mind you I've crawled into bed around 8) and can't fall asleep until after 1-2a," she says.
She Drinks Mushroom Hot Cocoa at Night
"I have prescribed medication to help with times like that but I really don't like taking it. I decided to try out @ryzesuperfoods mushroom hot cocoa to see if I could tell a difference – and it's been a huge game changer!! For one you can't taste the mushroom part at all, y'all know I have a sweet tooth and this taste just like straight up hot cocoa but the best part is I feel super sleepy within 10-15 minutes of drinking it!" she continued.

"Transitioning from a night owl to a morning bird has been a huge part of my journey to better health."
