Have you ever noticed how beautiful the flowers are, even in the rain? We are having a wonderful rain shower this morning and I could not help but notice that the colors of my flowers just seemed to pop. I ran outside and took a picture and thought " Life is so beautiful! I want to enjoy every single moment of it!" I can not even remember the name of this vine flower that I had bought last year. It was supposed to only last one season. Obviously, it is still here for us to enjoy. It still has life to share!
This reminds me of my own cancer survival story. I was diagnosed with Small Cell Carcinoma in January 2010. I was given a 15% chance of survival. Instead of just accepting my fate, I decided that for whatever time I had left, that I would be the best me that I could. I was going to be Happy! If I were to leave this world, I wanted my friends and family to remember me as someone that kept a positive attitude and as someone that enjoyed life. Everyday that I went for my treatments I would make it my goal to make people smile and laugh. I refused to sit in a chair in the waiting room. I would walk laps around the entire floor. I would smile and talk to everyone. Not only did this make me happy but I think that I was able to bring a little joy to their lives, too!
I was so determined that I would not be sickly. I ate and ate and ate. I also started taking healthy supplements. I took CoQ10 and Odorless Garlic. I took Noni capsules and drank an ounce of wheat grass every day. I took Vitamins. Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex, Vitamin B-12. I also took Ginger supplements so that I would not feel nauseous. I started including loads of fresh tomatoes and spinach into my diet. I drank V-8. Basically, I was filling my body with everything that I thought was healthy. But I never gave up on my bad habits. I still drank my Diet Pepsi by the case. I still ate sweets. I still did all of the things that I should not have.
By the time I had finished all of my treatments (about 8 months later), I had gained about 40 lbs. I was cancer free and fat! I would go for my checkups and the Dr. would say things like " You know that the cancer is usually back by now!" How do you respond to that? I would just smile and go celebrate by eating. Oh, I tried to lose some of that weight. But I just could not seem to pull myself out of this eating everything in sight cycle that I had put myself in!
September of 2013, I saw a before and after picture on Facebook. I looked at it and thought to myself..........Oh, yeah! What a scam! Sure that I would not get those same results. Well, I kept on seeing those ads and I kept watching for them. Guess they finally worked on me because I found myself ordering this stuff called Skinny Fiber. It is an all natural supplement. That was right up my alley! I began taking it on September 11, 2013. Imagine my surprise when I actually started losing that weight!
Here it is June 2014 and I have to tell you that I have lost 51 lbs. I feel fantastic! I went from a very tight size 16 to a size 6! I feel healthy and more like I did way before my cancer diagnosis. I am now also a distributor for Skinny Fiber. If you are looking to shed a few pounds .......please check out my website @www.getslimwithskinnyfiber.com
