Today is a very good day. I took one of my "FAT" photos and had it screened onto a tee shirt and the guy at the printer just stood there with his mouth wide open. He said, "Is that really you?" Now, the way he said it, you would have thought that I would be offended but I wasn't. You see I am losing weight and I don't even look like that person any more....
All of my life I have felt like there was something wrong with me. When I was growing up I ate the same as everyone else in my family and in modest amounts, but I always carried more pounds than they did. My dad called me 'Fat Albert' and at the time I didn't know who Fat Albert was, but when I found out, it broke my heart. I looked into the mirror and I didn't think I was that fat. I wasn't. NO!
Every bite that went into my mouth was something that I was very conscience of. I have always tried to eat 'healthy' and if I had something that could be considered unhealthy I felt terrible pangs of guilt. I shouldn't eat those things. After all, I was fat. I have gained and lost so many pounds. I don't even want to think about it. I have tried every diet and even succeeded at some, but I felt angry, deprived and usually very hungry. It was torture! Why? Why? Why was this happening to me?
It took 54 years but I finally have an answer and, really, it is a very simple one if you think about it. You go to the doctor with a problem, but doctors don't put the pieces to the puzzle together unless you force them too. They are busy and they just don't have time. I used to work for doctors so I know. My problem was that I am (was) hypoglycemic. When you have chronic low blood sugar you are reaching for food every few hours so that you aren't fuzzy headed, weak or shaky. If you wait too long you pass out. That was life for me. 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I thought that this was just the way it had to be.....but I was wrong.
Other health issues caused me to desperately search for answers to my dilemma. I found Reliv which is TOTAL nutrition in the form of a shake. I take it twice a day and it fills in all of the gaps that my body has that are not 'normal'. Everyone's gaps are different, but because it is 'food' it doesn't matter. It just fills them in! Now that my body is healthy it work right. Now that it works right I find that I can lose weight. I am doing that with Reliv too, because it is healthy, simple and IT WORKS!
Three months ago I weighed 173 pounds. This morning I stepped on the scales and I giggled out loud when it said 139.2!!!! I have 8 more pounds to go but I can do it because I am strong now. I am healthy. I am skinny! Oh, how I love my Reliv!!!
