After struggling with on-again, off-again success, I had an absolutely awful day when I experienced some deep depression and self-hate. I gave into some cravings and immediately felt horrible. There were a lot of tears and feelings of hopelessness.
I have read about people going on cleanses and releasing some awful emotional baggage. I am currently on a candida cleanse. I don't know if that had anything to do with what I went through, but after a good night's sleep I was a different person!
I realized that the only person that can make me happy is me. The only person that can make me succeed is me. I must take responsibility for my own happiness, health and success. It sounds so simple when I put it into words like that, but it was such a strong, powerful epiphany for me! I finally got it!
Since that time I have done really well. For the most part I am sticking with my candida cleanse, taking my supplements and eating the foods I'm supposed to. I'm seeing progress. Sometimes Mark and I go out to eat, or I get invited to lunch. I do the best I can in those situations because I am not about to sit home and go nowhere. I still have a life to live.
It has just been a lot easier, and I'm so grateful for that!
My husband took me to a sporting goods store and we ended up buying me some new shorts and shirts. But the awesome thing is I could fit into a size 12! Woohoo!! The Oxycise and candida cleanse is working and I'm making some good progress. The last time I measured myself I lost another 4.5". You know it's 1/4" here and 1/4" there, but it all adds up. I'm so excited I'm going to pull out some of my smaller pants and see if any of them fit.
I have three sets of measurements to post.
