Trent_C, Age 31, 7DW Level 1, Introduction

[Trent_C]

Hey everybody! Talking about myself isn't the easiest thing for me to do, but I need to make some changes in my life, and this seems like the best way to start. I'm definitely looking forward to cleansing.

I've been very lucky to have been blessed with basically good health, but there is definite room for improvement. I admit that I don't exercise as often as I should (although I do have a physically demanding job) and I know my diet hasn't been the best. I've been eating the "traditional" Western diet, and we all know what kind of trouble that can lead to! I want to shift to a more natural, healthy diet and lifestyle (and hopefully be rid of those nagging, chocolate cravings). This cleanse seems like the best first step in that direction.

Some of the things I need to work on are the fact that lately I've put on some weight, and I seem to lack energy. I also don't sleep as well as I would like to and I always seem to wake up tired.

I guess I should really count my blessings that I haven't become really ill with my poor dietary choices, but I know it's just a matter of time before all my bad habits catch up with me. The mature thing for me to do is to admit that I'm responsible for my health beginning to decline, and that I'm the one responsible for it improving. I'm hoping that this cleanse will give me a good start towards a healthier lifestyle.

Hi Trent,

Welcome aboard!. I belive you will find this to be a very beneficial program for you. It is very well thought out, and with help and guidance of the support group a joy to experience.

I too have some of the problems you have described, but by reading and keeping Daniel's book at your side ,you will become more aware of your old bad habits and slowly start to change them into a more positive part of your life.

Follow the guide lines set forth in the program and pay close attention to your precleanse, and I believe you will have a very exciting and productive Level 1.

Peace,

Stephen_C

I look forward to reading your posts.

Welcome! You are already off to a great start by realizing that your current state of health and any improvements to come are your responsibility. Good for you! It isn't always easy to remember that, but keeping that in mind will facilitate the entire process so much better.

Cheers! Tina_A

Welcome Trent,

You've come to the right place to begin to make some of the changes that you're seeking. I think you'll find that after you've been on this path for a while that you'll have lost weight and are sleeping much better as well. But most importantly you'll have begun the life long process of setting the right causes and conditions for vibrant health and all it's benefits.

Love and Light,
Pat

Hi Trent,

Welcome to the group. You have come to the right place to make the changes in your health. I think that some of us are lucky, health-wise, and we do coast along for a while. But, ill health always catches up to us. I am glad to read that you are ready and willing to meet the challenge of making changes. It may be hard at times to rethink what you have learned as traditions, but it will be so worth it. Not only will you learn a lot here about good health, but you will be an example to others that you come in contact with.

I had a craving for chocolate before my level 1 cleansing experience. After my level 1, my craving for chocolate truly was a thing of the past. I can not say that I have not eaten any chocolate since. I have. But it is not the same. My mind has changed. I found that was the biggest thing for me. My mind was in control for the worse not the better. I have more control over myself now.

This is a great program. I am glad you found it.

Take care,
Tisha

Hi Trent and welcome on board.

It sounds like you have got here before developing any serious problems which I think is a good sign that you are serious about your health.

If you work the program as its designed Im sure you will get the results you are lookink for.

Welcome Andrew,
You are embarking on a wonderful journey. Your age is such a bonus because you have not had years of abuse to reverse. I read on the board that food is used to create poor health, rather than to establish good health. This program will help you develop the good eating/health habits that will reestablish good health. I have changed my eating habits, something I never thought I would be able to do. I have always wanted to get control of the 20-30 pounds I was carrying and I knew it would abe possible only if I changed my eating habits. How could I? Well, I haven't had any chocolate since I started with the program. I am 20 pounds lighter and I am getting ready to delve even deeper into the program with Level 2. Good luck on your journey.
Your friend, Kay M

Hey Andrew, congratulations on making the decision to change your life. We're all in the same boat. Raised on home cooking and super-sized, extra-value meals that have no nutritional value. You are definitely doing the right thing to improve your health and quality of life. I suffered from a lack of energy too prior to doing this cleanse, but not anymore. Hang in there and you'll see for yourself in a few weeks. -mark
