For the first time ever I can see myself getting to 130 pounds. Being one of those children who has always struggled with my weight I did not know what healthy meant or how to cook it. Being teased for my weight was normal and mirrors didn’t exist in my head. Running was for crazy people who had no life and exercise was what my thumbs did while playing video games. As I am ending the 12-week time period for the protocol Monday the 13^thI am amazed that I have no plans to change what I am doing. I like the shake and wouldn’t want to live without it. The thought of a greasy hamburger kinda makes me want to gag. I find myself watching what my husband is eating and thinking “How can you eat that yuck!” When 12 short weeks ago I would have eaten the same thing.  I am not stressing that I will gain the weight back because I know I won’t.  I have not only made a lifestyle change I have completely changed the way I think. I realized how much my life revolved around food and how wrong that was for me. I ate when I celebrated, ate when I was depressed and ate when I was bored. Not only did I eat for the wrong reasons I ate the wrong foods like hamburger, pizza and chips. I just stand amazed at where I was and where I am and the knowledge that I am going to go so much further. 12 weeks ago a spark of hope that I might actually control my weight has ignited into a blazing sun not only controlling but conquering my weight in a way I never thought to comprehend. If I could Vulcan mind meld with people to show them the transformation I would because I am at a loss for words with how changed I feel and I am not sure anyone believes me anyway.

In health,
