Imagine for a moment how a person who was blind since birth might feel, if suddenly they could see. That’s how I feel. I have been released from a burden I was carrying that I believed was permanent.
I was a striking 120lbs for the first seven years of my adult life, until my weight increased dramatically due to a birth control method I was using at the time. I went from a perfect 120lbs (size7) to 140lbs (size12), almost over-night. I battled my weight for 10 years after that and watch the scale slowly go up and up until I reached an incredible 183lbs. (size16).
I wore bigger clothing to hide. I still felt like the cute little 120lb girl I used to be. I was just lost under all the fat. I tried every diet pill and plan available to man. Sometimes with exercise I would loose a few pounds, but it always managed to find me again. Not to mention it wasn’t a very significant weight loss.
Exercise was very difficult, I was not getting restful sleep so I was tired, I had no energy and I was suffering from back and knee pain due to the excess weight I was lugging around.
I also had extremely low self-esteem. I felt ugly, worthless and depressed all the time. It affected every area of my life, including my relationships. Strangers treated me much differently too. They were short and impatient, sometimes rude and mean. Walking around at stores people would step in front of me and cut me off and didn’t seem to notice my existence. The really sad thing is I just accepted it in fact I didn’t even notice it. I didn’t demand the respect I deserve, I allowed people to walk all over me. I didn’t realize everyone was treating me badly, because I was walking with my head down in shame.
Now in the last few weeks since I have once and for all released all the excess weight I was carrying and I am 130lbs (size7…again) everywhere I go people are showing respect. They are polite and friendly. They do back flips just to hold the door for me and go out of their way to help me or get out of my way. I hear them call me sweetie and darling all the time. It was this new wonderful treatment that made me realize what I was missing before. What a huge difference. The weight loss has given me confidence and a new appreciation for my body I never had even when I was thin before. I have been on the “other side”. I have courage I never knew existed. I have energy like a child, I sleep like a baby (minus the waking up and crying part), my relationships are better, and my knee and back pain are gone. I have true joy and peace. I honestly feel like a whole new person. I released 52 pounds and 48 inches in four months, the best part is the system I used is all natural and completely healthy.
The first step was deciding to be healthy, probably the hardest part. People are so comfortable in their fat they often don’t realize how bad it is and even if they do, it’s so hard to give up the bad eating habits it seems hopeless. The next step was finding this nutritional cleansing program and making it work for me.  I only had to give things up in the beginning and I didn’t even have to give up everything. I still had pizza and ice cream. Last I followed the program as best as I could, with a few modifications to suit my life style and soon the pounds began to melt off like butter. Before I knew it I had reached my goal. Now all I want to do is help others that may be in the same position I was in. I know how hopeless it feels, but there is hope. With a little bit of determination, and the right program it is possible to have the healthy body you deserve.
