Hello fellow cleansers! I am a married homemaker with 2 boys (10 and 18). My educational background is in health and science education, but I have been in the financial services industry for all of my working life up until I "retired" when my youngest child was born. We live in Franklin, Tn (a suburb of Nashville).

I come from a family plagued by obesity. I was a stick thin child, but my mother often told me that she too was thin like me. She would tell me that we (in our family) were all big and that I too would look like her.

For 40 years I ate whatever I wanted to; didn't exercise had 2 children and remained very trim.

Then I noticed that the weight started to creep on. Weight control was at the root of what brought me to HPS -- in a round about way.

My mother was the queen of diets. Through her I witnessed the failure of every one of them, so I knew that dieting was not going to work. I began to exericse and learned that the worst thing to do is to start to diet before spending a few weeks increasing ones metabolism through some form of exercise.

Anyway, I hired a trainer and got into shape. I didn't lose any weight, but my clothes looked better. I still had cellulite and fat pads on my thighs. My trainer started talking about diet, but it wasn't making logical sense. I began researching for myself.

I had this intuition about cleansing/fasting -- not for weight control but for setting causes and conditions to create a better healthier body. In addition, I think this intuition was aided by a series of terrible herniated disc problems. Though the physical healing was aided in a conventionally western way, my own exploration into the problem showed me how negative emotions are stored in the body causing the same energy stagnations that lead to disease.

I found HPS and read every single page on the web site and signed up.

The person I was when I began exercising was quite vain and driven to maintain a healthy appearance. I got it too after one cleanse. I got rid of a lot of cellulite and as I continued a moderate exercise plan (2-3 times per week no more than 1 hr). I have MY best body.

Those are the superficial facts, but my HPS experience has been much more. I am on a journey to follow the balanced path. I realize that only through maintaining balance can I maintain health.

I am very blessed with good physical health and I have been working to protect it with this program. My goals is to continue to find balance in all aspects of my life.

The 7DW has helped rid me of a lot of toxic mental garbage. I am hoping in the future to continue rid myself of this garbage and nurture a vessel capable of learning new ways.

I am extremely grateful to Jos-hua for having the love and committment to maining this program and to all the cleansers who make this program work.

With much love,

Susan_L

Hi Susan L,

Great to see you are ready to move to the Master Faster level! I will follow your journey closely and I hope to join you and the others this summer.

I too, have two boys. One just turned 17 and the other will be 9 in April, so the age gap is the same. The fighting/teasing has finally subsided to an acceptable level! As I wrote that, it occurred to me that maybe they are responding to my more calm, sane, less toxic demeanor? Hhhmmmm? Interesting thought.

Thanks for being part of this wonderful group!

Hi Susan,

Its good to see you back in the group after your unintentional hiatus. I will follow your level 4 with interest. You've had so many positive changes with the first 3 levels its hard to imagine where you will go from here.

Looking forward to your input and experiences as you attain the Master Faster designation.

Susan,

Welcome back for level 4.
I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted too. I never believed that it would catch up with me and then when it did, I did nothing to take off the weight. I have 5 kids and with each one, I added a little extra.

This is such a great place to come and be supported by others wanting to reclaim their health. I will be looking forward to your level 4.

Love,
Tisha
