Christine’s Cleanse Corner helped me gain control

I am a 45-year-old woman who has always struggled with weight.  I have a great husband and two beautiful daughters ages 15 and 13.  For as long as I can remember, I have used food as comfort.  Through research I conducted at Christine’s Cleanse Corner, I have learned how to use food as a fuel for my body, in order to get the nutrition I need to achieve the goals in my life; to harness my positive energy to fulfill my daily commitments and obligations, as well as take advantage of the many opportunities that surround me.  I have started taking a morning yoga class three times a week, and about three months ago, I began walking with my husband every evening.  Once I learned the secret to proper nutrition, other elements of my life started to fall into place.

 

It all started last summer when I took my daughters to the local outdoor pool.  When I took off my towel to step into the water, I noticed they avoided being around me.  My excessive weight embarrassed them.  I was devastated and hurt.  I realized then that I needed to do something to address my weight problem.  Christine Dreher, a nutritionist, author and herbalist showed me how to change my life in a positive way through her wonderful site, Christine’s Cleanse Corner.  I learned how whole foods are the best source of nutrition for the body, and that the best source of nutrition is vitamins and minerals.  Now, I pay attention to what I put into my mouth.  I choose whole foods that contain necessary proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other micronutrients to improve my health and well being.

 

Also, I have begun the Perfect Weight America program, which has been such a blessing in my life and has truly made a difference.  The program has educated me about how to change my diet and my life by helping me eat for my “perfect weight,” and how to customize my plan according to my body type, age, gender and geographic region.  I have been able to maximize my intake of nutrients, while lowering my calorie consumption.  This has helped me engage in healthy weight loss.  I have also figured out the importance of eating and cleansing my body with the seasons.  Perfect WeightAmerica, through Garden of Life — a reputable, high-quality brand of whole food and holistic products.  I have incorporated regular exercise into my life, as well as learned the importance of nutritional supplements and eliminating toxins from inside and outside the body.  I have been able to reduce my overall stress, find time to get more rest and focus more on myself and my mind, body and spirit.  It is a summer later, and my daughters now look to me as an inspirational role model, which is how it should be.
