She is always full, no longer feels brain fog, is pain- free, her blood pressure is down, her cholesterol is down, and her blood sugars are finally regulating, at 2. Which gal would you rather be? I’m still a work in progress, I don’t claim to be done losing weight or done with my journey back to health. This is going to be a constant, life- long journey, one that I refuse to stop. I know too much now, and I am too important to stop. There is no food on this earth that is as good as being healthy feels. Not thin – Healthy. Just pause and reflect on that for a second.
