So, this is how I live my life. I don't like any level of deception or trying to hide. I have spent my entire life hiding in big girl clothes and hating it. I like to have all the cards on the table.
I was approached yesterday by someone asking about HCG in light of the Dr. Oz show on Tuesday. I appreciate people wanting to ask and talk! As a retired, public school teacher I could neither teach nor assess without questions, so I love them! I did not see the show, but I do want to state a few things:
1. I am not a doctor. I started under a doctor's care, and I have my blood checked and a check-up every six months (have done this for 30 years as I was obese and needed meds for arthritis, reflux, blood pressure, cholesterol, fluid, etc......) Now that I am 56 pounds down, my blood is finally perfect in all areas.
2. I didn't start this group on my own. I just started with Chip and I and then added a couple of friends. More than 50 people are now walking with us in the victory circle. Two new fam members this morning! Welcome.
3. I don't have all the answers - but God does. And, collectively we can share hope, encouragement, and recipes for life! There is also accountability. I had someone yesterday confessing the "doughnut thing" and we had to have a little "modification" talk. :) We adore each other and if I was wandering a wee bit I would want one of you to come along side and help me get on the path again. :) Please do that for me - don't let me ever be like Lot's wife and look back (at what, a city of sexually immoral people) and long for days of sugar and starch and fat clothes and take my eyes off health. Someone say you'll help me.
4. Rotating 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off the drops allows our bodies to rest - which is critical. There are 20 different variations of the diet and varieties of the formula. I only use one product and cannot vouch for the others. I would not take the injections. And, the formula really needs to be made in the US, as ours is.
5. I haven't heard of any side effects from our group except slight headaches in week one from sugar and caffeine withdrawals or being more cold than normal, which many of you love!
6. I HAVE heard amazing stories of lives turning around, spirits lifted, families learning to eat together in a healthy manner, God receiving all the glory and honor for helping us. That's great!
Why am I sharing this? Because it's important for all of us to be informed. HCG is controversial - and I don't want to lead anyone astray. I am just a person who experienced freedom for the first time in my adult life and I am reaching out to others desiring the same. And because I hate those emails that clog up my system. I always want us to walk together because we WANT to, not because you feel obligated and can't tell me. If you've changed and gone in another direction - I still love you. I promise. Just send me a note and I will take you off the list. NO PRESSURE! And please remember, we are life-long family for eternity. :)
Choose life and eat to live,
PK
