January 12, 2013 - My Journey Begins with Rapid K cleanse 

 I attended the information session tonight for Rapid K cleanse in Wall Twp NJ after seeing the dramatic change my Mother experienced I knew it was time for a change for me as well (Mom lost 60 lbs). I have always been overweight basically my whole entire life but this is the largest I have ever been even when I was pregnant with my son 14 years ago, I gained about 60 lbs with the pregnancy but didn't have much of a problem losing it. I noticed that the past year I was eating out a lot and not making healthy choices and also drinking a lot of alcohol because of depression. I am 5'7 and I was weighed in today at 204 lbs. I  didn't feel that I would benefit from a traditional diet like weight watchers at this time since I need to lose a very large amount of weight and quickly, I will probably use this later when I am closer to my goal weight.  Everything that Eilleen said in the orientation I pretty much already knew but didn't really consider to contribute to my weight. I understand the hormones and additives in meat is not good for anyone, I've seen the movie "Food inc" but I guess I was just not ready to give these things up yet. Well all week I have been having my "lasts" of things in preparation, I had some of my favorite foods and feel content to not have them again for as long as it takes :) I am very lucky that my Mother has also decided to go back on the program with me since she has put on some weight and also is excited to feel better and have more energy. My Mom will be a very good support system as I will for her, and hopefully we wont be having to call Eilleen for any troubleshooting lol I should have eaten before we went in, our appointment was at 5 pm so I am kind of hungry but just rotated my balls and had a nice cup of jasmine tea with lemon and honey which was very good :) I am setting the alarm on my phone to remind me to rotate and also at 6 pm to not eat any more. I really feel like my weight is hindering me in alot of ways, I have adult acne which is embarrassing. I also am not waking up in the morning feeling refreshed and hitting the snooze button several times in the morning (or I just hate my job)  not sure which lol Also I noticed when I was looking for a job, I went to an interview and everything went great but for some reason they did not call back, so I see the ad up again a few weeks later so I was like what the heck let me send my resume again. I sent my resume and they called me for an interview! So basically I looked good on paper but they didn't like the way I looked in person :( This really upset me and made me feel self conscious but being out of work I could not start the cleanse.  So I did end up getting a job but not in the medical field :( So I think once I get to a healthy weight I may have more opportunities in my career. I am ready and I will keep updating this blog as a previous blog I read really was inspiring :) Here is a picture from a few months ago, body shots are few and far between! lol
