My whole life, I have been healthy, athletic and not the standard package. That's my way of saying my weight never followed the weight charts. Gaining weight, losing weight has just been part of the seasons of my life. About 20 years ago, I found a terrific all-natural, organic, very nutritious diet that absolutely changed my life. It helped me then and I sought it out again this month. I'll get to that in a moment. First the reason why I am seeking it again.

I have spent three years living what I would call a very sedentary lifestyle. Oh sure, there have been the animals, but, I spent a year and a half with my husband who was fighting throat cancer, in and out of hospitals, doctors offices and treatment centers. I wanted to be by his side every step of the way, and having lost him to the disease I am so grateful I did. Many private moments of love, faith and acceptance filled those days.

Following his death, I launched myself into the research, writing, publishing and marketing of the book, Animals in Heaven? Catholics Want to Know! He made me promise to finally write what he and I both had shared in coming to understand the Creator and Church doctrine on the eternal continuance of animals and creation. That took another year and a half.

The pounds by virtue of my lifestyle have crept back on. And I am finally in a place where I can mentally deal with the necessary change that must come.

So back to that great diet from 20 years ago.

I didn't know if the company that offered the program was still around, but they were. And WOW, had they come a long way. There were choices now. Quick Start, Advanced, Ultimate programs each addressing how much weight you wanted to lose and lose it to stay off. No guessing for me, it was the Ultimate.

I have been on the diet for a month and a half and have lost 21 pounds and am looking for another 25 lbs to lose.

It works! I feel my old self again, I am beginning to look like one of me again, I regained the energy I had lost, my joints are screaming with relief and I sleep better now.

It is amazing to me how a truly nutritional program directed at the human body at the cellular level can bring about such WELLNESS in such a short period of time.

It is just so good to feel good again!!!

This time I won't relapse, I will make good nutrition and wellness the priority that my body needs.
