When I met Carolyn over 17 days ago, she weighed 410 pounds. When I started my weight loss system, I was 350 pounds. I was often depressed, but never to the point of being suicidal. I thought that after I had lost the weight, it would be easy to get others to do the same. People who knew me before I had put on 250 extra pounds did not recognize me when I blew up like a balloon. Moreover, I am happy to say that those who met me when I was obese do not recognize me now. When I told people about my weight loss success, they were cordial, happy enough and usually gave me the encouraging congratulations. It seemed as though the obese people I spoke to wanted the results but did not want to do the work. It was not much work; it was just picking up the herbal supplements and a change of diet.

One young woman that I spoke to saw my results and was amazed at my significant weight loss. When I shared my "foods to avoid" list with her, she flatly turned down the notion of the system because she did not want to give up her "cheese". I am the first person to admit that I was a cheese fanatic. That is why I love the herbs so much because they took away my desire or the craving for the foods that are not beneficial to you. The herbs do all the work, all we have to do is listen to our body as it responds to the herbs that help it get back to its original place. I loved cheese and ketchup on "everything". However, I made the determination the night before I saw my homeopathic physician that I would go cold turkey or not do the system at all. The harm comes on the system when you mix foods that you should avoid with the herbs and your body goes into turmoil and does not know which way to go.

Carolyn was at the end of her rope. Two days before I met her she had someone go out a fill a prescription of pills for her, she asked her sister to take care of her 9-year-old son for a while so she could get herself together and she had written the suicide note, which her loved ones would have found upon her death. She had been watching a late night program and saw a commercial on television for the gastric bypass surgery and prayed a little prayer asking God to open the door for her to have the surgery if that was the answer to her many prayers for losing weight.

The connections for the surgery fell through and she sank even deeper into a depression, which she thought was not possible. What would be past suicidal she thought to herself? She called God on the carpet, she said to him, if you do not want me to have the surgery, show me the way to lose this weight or I am going to kill myself. She had been bed-ridden for over a year and had not gone out of her house for more than 15 years. Her family did not know what to do because they had sensed she had lost her will to live and they were right.

My client in Orlando, Florida had successfully lost 9 pounds in two days of trying my system and his wife called Carolyn's sister to share the good news with her. He had been on so many medications for diabetes and every "diet" they tried, worked in opposition to the medications. He had had two strokes in 2008 and his health was rapidly declining. He was his jovial self when I spoke to him (the first time in about 9 years) but I knew something was wrong. When I finally saw him, his feet her massively swollen, his ankles were so large I thought if I stuck a pin in them, they would burst and he complained about a "burning" sensation in his feet that many diabetics, I have since learned, experience.

When his wife called Carolyn's sister, she immediately asked for my telephone number and within an hour, Carolyn and her sister were on the telephone with me describing their war on obesity. The next day, I started them both on my Eating To Live! Lifestyle System and within 48 hours, Carolyn was up out of that bed cleaning her house (her family stood in shock watching her because it was as if she had risen from the grave), she drove herself around that third day, went to a housewarming party that night and for the first time in many years, she went to church.

This is the 17th day I have had the pleasure of knowing Carolyn and she has lost over 50 pounds. She called me screaming on the telephone a few days ago with a report that she could actually "see" her neck now, she said her stomachs (yes, she said she had three) had shrunken back to its normal size and that when she sat down now, she could actually see her whole foot. She has so much energy and eating right is coming naturally now because with the herbs, she is craving all of the right foods. She said she did cheat one day by going to a submarine sandwich shop for her 9 year old she helped him finish off his sandwich and she said she immediately began to feel guilty as it was sliding down to her stomach. She remembers think, "I never want to do that again" and has not diverted from the diet since.

This remarkable victory, along with my other client's success stories encourage me to know that I must keep up the fight. It was okay for me to see the results in my own weight loss, but to see others, who were hopeless, declining in health and depressed come out of the fight victorious lets me know that this is a fight that CAN and WILL be won.
