As a young girl, at the age of 9, I was in a car accident and was unable to walk for the next 10 years. My lack of activity combined with my bad eating habits led to me putting on a lot of weight. Since my parents were usually busy I had to feed myself. I've always had a huge sweet tooth so I'd go for the junk food, like chocolate chip cookies, coke and my favorite - a big bowl of ice cream followed by a bag of potato chips. So, my weight went up and down through the rest of elementary school, high school, and even the beginning of college. Because the accident kept me from doing what I loved most - sports and playing with my friends - I began to feel alienated. My friends would play and run around and all I could do was sit there and watch, yearning to be part of the group again. Not only did I look different from everyone, but some basic functions and actions anyone could do normally, I needed help with. Anywhere I went, someone would need to open the door for me, anytime I needed to use the bathroom, someone had to come with me. Even leaving the house during my teen years required one of my parents or siblings to come along to help me. I felt so helpless and alone and my confidence shattered almost completely. Food was the way out for me, a way to cover up and bury how I felt.

Eventually I learned to walk again, but my insecurities and lack of confidence stayed, and so did my bad eating habits. Food had really begun to negatively impact my everyday life. It came to a point where even walking up a flight of stairs had me breathing heavier, only after a few steps too! One day I just finally reached a point where I was tired of the way I was living. I was tired of being too big, I was tired of having no energy, I was tired of being insecure, and more than anything I was tired of being tired. So I made some changes. I started eating better by watching my calorie intake and I started exercising, and soon my body began to change.

A little over 5 months ago I was exactly 36 pounds heavier. Combining the MRP and Complete Burn into my new lifestyle made things much easier for me. In fact using our health products allowed me to lose the majority of my weight, a total of 21 pounds. I take the MRP and Complete Burn as recommended. I have one MRP for breakfast and dinner and take one complete burn with each and with my lunch, with a couple of healthy snacks in between. I love having our Meal Replacement Shake because it's so easy for me to create a healthy lifestyle. It’s hard to keep healthy when you eat out so much and there aren’t too many healthy choices, but our MRP is a great healthy alternative and since you can just shake it and go it's easy to get fit and stay fit.

Our health products are a miracle! Since I went from 146 pounds to 110 pounds I have been able to shed more than just my weight. I have been able to find the person that was buried underneath it all. Some people say you don't have to look perfect, just be comfortable with who you are. I used to believe that. I used to say that as long as you're comfortable with how you look then you'll be happy. I thought I was. Looking back now, though, I see how wrong I was. I don't believe that you need to be 36, 24, 36 to be happy and confident, but I know that using food to mask the way you feel isn't good. Since I have taken control of my diet I have also taken control of my life. I feel better physically - I can run for miles, I wake up actually feeling rested, I even have more endurance, just ask my boyfriend! And, now I feel better about myself. Nothing compares to the kind of confidence I feel when a guy checks me out just because I look good naturally. Nothing compares to being able to fit into pants that are 4 sizes smaller then they used to be. Nothing can describe how I feel when I walk up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing and knowing that I did that through my hard work and determination. Thanks to YOR HEALTH I look great, I feel great, and I know there's much more to come!
