Hi there! My name is Marie. I decided to do a blog about my journey, because I have been struggling with my weight most of my life. I always said, that as long as I don't go over 220lbs, I was satisfied with my weight. It's crazy how we trick our minds into thinking that everything is okay and go into denial, but in the end, what's in the heart will be uprooted. After taking this photo, I noticed that my face was bigger than it's ever been. That lead me to the scale and there it read 246lbs!! I was appalled! Never had I let myself go like that. I had to do something immediately, so I researched the Master Cleanse and put my mind to the test. Guess what?! I completed the 10 day Cleanse (Lemonade Diet) and I did not cheat at all! I surprised myself! I did this cleanse so that I can try to remove some of the build up of all the fatty foods that I have been consuming all these years. Of course, 10 days won't remove EVERYTHING that I have destroyed my body with, but it's a fresh start for me to get on the right track. With this blog, I want to share my ups and downs and how I overcome them. The motivation that I have today is very different. I no longer want to take medication for hypertension, get tired when going up and downs stairs, or try on several different outfits before walking out the house, which makes me late everywhere I go. Not that I have never wanted these things, it's just I am now more alert to the dangers that being overweight causes. I am ready to make a turn for the better and get far away from my old lifestyle. As you follow me on this journey, please be encouraging, prayerful and patient. I am open to all suggestions, that will help me along the way. Thanks for following!
