My cousin joined the cleanse "team"

So I had been talking to my cousin about this cleansing thing. We were recently walking on the beach just chatting about it. I didn't want to push it. I know her financial situation, but I also was listening to her talk about her body and her eating habits and her unhappiness.  And I mean I'm no sales person. BUT this is the first shake program I stuck to and it worked. The others, 30 days and no real results. This one was a little more expensive which is probably why I started with the other ones. But you truly do get what you pay for. I paid to lose 8lbs. . .To break a plateau. . . To gain energy. . . To see results.

I got it.
You can too.

I had a long conversation with my cousin last night.
I told her about my journey with Isagenix.
People are always asking me "Why are you on a diet?"
Why not I say- because YOU think I'm skinny? Because you think I'm petite?
I'm on a diet because it seemed like the easiest thing to change- there were plenty of things in my life I was complaining about. This I could act on. This I could make every day changes and integrate them into my life. This I could do. The results wouldn't be super instant, but I was almost guaranteed some sort of result within 30 days.

Wait wait wait- I'm not saying "take the easy road" or "take the easy way out"... but when you've made mountains out of molehills, find the easiest one that can be brought back down to size.
I have high stress and suffer severely from anxiety. That affects my weight. I was then going into depression. That affected my weight. I had no energy. I slept 8 hours and woke up more tired then I went to bed. In reality, those things affected my whole life.
Reasons to give this a try:
-increased energy
-better mood
-curb cravings
-make my body efficient again
- make my clothes fit again

The greatest accomplishment of this endeavor: I've picked one thing to focus on and damn have I been focusing well!!
8lbs. Compliments. Better mood. Better sleep.
It's a start. I feel the depression lifting. I feel the urge to share this success and product with others. I feel the urge to help others feel good about themselves.

And a healthy diet is a damn good place to start!!

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea

The new normal: Fat acceptance

A new study published in the 'International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education' reveals that the average size of an American woman is now between a 16 to 18, which is an increase from 10-year-old data that indicated most women in the U.S. were a size 14. "I am hoping this will help nudge the fashion industry to seriously consider expanding their sizes," said study author Deborah Christel, Ph.D. LOL...  But you don't make the connection between larger sizes of humans overall and obesity? You don't hope that the results of the 'study' you did encourage people to start eating better and exercising more and you know, stop being obese? You just hope the multi billion dollar fashion industry changes its ways... er, um, sizes. Because... feelings? I mean, anyone who says they can't find clothing in their size is forgetting to tell you the whole story, leaving out key factors like: can't find clothing in their price range, can

Kevin Hart has said what every normal person feels/believes...

As I sit here in my pajamas, trying to finish eating cold oatmeal and drink cold coffee, with my 3 month old daughter fussing at my side- the little dictator that she is- I say to myself, "Wow, if only 20-year-old me could see me now". What do I mean when I say that? I mean I was pretty much hell on wheels until I was 28. A hot mess for too long. In no way a role model or even proud of myself for .... anything really. I didn't speak eloquently or smartly, I was often not a respectful person towards other, I was probably down right insensitive. And I was kinda a tramp. Not exactly the kind of person you'd want around kids or even to take home to meet Mom and Grandma. But, hey- PEOPLE CHANGE. In the words of Kevin Hart: "   If you don't believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don't know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify or explain their past, then do you."   Can we all
