A whole new healthy world.

Hi, I'm Suzette and I started the commitment to get healthy 3 weeks ago. I kicked things off with the master cleanse (14-day) in order to detox from processed, sugary, and high fat foods. The cleanse has helped me so much to get back to the basics of enjoying my food, especially fruits and vegetables. Fruits literally taste like candy to me now!
Although weight loss with the cleanse was not the top priority, I lost 19 pounds, which was a great motivation to keep going. I've been journaling from the time I started the cleanse, which has really helped me pinpoint the emotional triggers for my eating habits. It's also helped me to start facing personal challenges of all sorts and I'm quite pleased with the results already.
I've always been quite a recluse in weight loss, but only recently have I become aware of the fact that wasn't helping me at all. In fact, the isolation was working against me because it just allowed me to hide in the shame/guilt of eating unhealthy foods. So it feels great now to be more open with others, facing things that were once incredibly difficult for me (emotional and otherwise) and getting empowered.
Thank you all for being a part of a community that wants to live well. I'm really glad to be here.
