[fast5] Re: what a gift!

 

Mary, I was greatly encouraged by your note.  I battle several health problems, thyroid cancer patient for two more years,

arthritis in my foot, surgery didn't solve the problem and I will likely need a replacement joint, and a recent knee surgery just

last week, 2 days before Christmas.  I have been one most of my life to let my health iissues get me down in a way that I would feel sorry for myself

and eat for consolation, for a prize. (there are many more, but I wont bore you with that now!)  

Amazingly, I still pinch myself, but have been the most successful with Fast  5 more than anything else in my life, and I 

have a lot of life to go...I am a homeschooling mom of 7, with 5 kids still at home.  To feel truly my best, I know that I still

need to lose 20 more pounds in order to keep up with them.  I have lost approximately 20lbs now, but the biggest thing has been to realize just

how little food one needs to function.  

Again, Mary, I am so excited to hear about your MS symptoms lessening, and just keep with it.  Slow and steady wins the race,

inch by inch is a cinch, yard by yard is very hard.  

You will feel  better and better as more time goes on.  

Over Christmas I got to see a friend who through another friend that

I shared Fast 5 with commenced it herself.  Sounds confusing, but suffice it to say, my success has caused others to start. How thrilling is that?

And she looked amazing! 

She is a vivacious Puerto Rican woman, full of zest, dynamic public speaker and being on Fast 5 has pumped her up even higher, which is quite hard to

imagine!  She has lost some weight so far, a bit, but even better, feels in control of her life again.  She feels that she can do this.

The sense of denial has lessened to almost nil.  Thanks Bert, and to all who share openly on

this forum. It is a great treat and blessing to read each day what your trials, accomplishments, and daily goals are on here.
