Dear Gillian,

I also would like to share that I have lost 10 pounds, (I am now 135 pounds, yeah for me!), but more importantly, I feel fantastic. My nerves are gone, and I have better concentration and focus than I have had in years. I can’t believe that I blamed my lack of energy and mental confusion on the standard “I am a busy busy mom” when in reality, all it really was was a lazy way of eating.

I used to constantly think about what I wanted to eat or feed my family. I have found restaurants that actually have vegetarian options that are out of this world delicious. I have discovered that since I like tuna, greens, garbanzos, corn, etc., that if I like the individual flavors, I can actually put them all in the same bowl and have a meal. What a “duh” moment! And my family doesn�t even realize they are eating better.

I don’t know if it is because we are eating better and as a result more steady in energy, but I don�t think about breakfast the night before or dinner all day long. I do a little prep work if needed and get on with my life in between meals. And what a life it is! I actually enjoy being active with my kids! Tennis is fun! Swimming is fun! Walking is fun!

I will continue to watch your program here in America on the BBC station, even if I see them a million times. It keeps me motivated and encouraged to stay on track; why I need to “eat to live” not “live to eat”. And also to choose whole foods and thereby have the energy to play with my kids and hubby. And that’s fantastic.

Thanks again!!

Marty
