Re: Self Defeating behaviors - Do I want to live?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I definitely feel for you and I hope your dad can heal from the stroke. I know

everyone is different, but for me it is anger that drives me to be committed to

this way of eating. I am angry at the world we live in that poisons us in so

many ways. I decided that I didn't want to be a part of it anymore, figuratively

speaking.

For 37 years I poisoned my body and I hit a point of desperation. Absolutely

NOTHING is more important than getting healthy now. I started Bee's program over

a year ago and have NEVER cheated, not even for a second. Not because I have

great willpower or discipline, but because I'm angry!

You will get your will to live back on this program. You will respect your body

when you treat it right. There is no reason to wait years to do it. Do it now.

Also, there are a lot of things you can do to get you through the rough times.

Just search the forum for epsom salt baths, dry brushing, coffee enemas, deep

breathing. Therapy, meditation, and light yoga could help as well.

I hope that helps in some way.

Just remind me, how great do you feel and look? how much energy do you

have?...

When I was strict on the diet I was so thin, so much energy, I got to get

back there.

Thanks for your words of encouragement!

I don't want to repeat too much of what I've said here before so I'll ask you to

read the success stories on Bee's website. I have 2 on there around June-Aug

2010. I still have to read the success stories often when I'm feeling bad.

Especially when I'm going through heavy detox. Nausea is a big problem for me as

well as fatigue. But when I finish those serious bouts of detox I feel

incredible.

Hi .

I was self-defeating for years. Just spent so long feeling sorry for myself

that I could never stick to any diets. Why me? Boohoo, poor me. Why can

EVERYONE eat the yummy stuff except me. Whaaaa!

You know the score.

What profoundly changed my mind-set, was when my digestion finally collapsed and

I could hardly eat anything. That set me on a quest to find out why. What I

learned was incredible.

The 'yummy' food - plus the lack of nutrition it doesn't contain is damaging

EVERYONE to a greater or lesser degree. Sooner or later it will catch up with

them. They will get Diabetes, or Arthritis, or MS, or Alzheimer's, etc., etc.,

etc.

That realization completely blew me away. I realized that if I want to get

well, I need to avoid it like the plague.

I try to look at it this way. If I lived on a desert island and had never seen

a chocolate eclair, or a banana toffee tiramisu cupcake, I wouldn't miss it. If

all I ate every day was fish, breadfruit and coconut, I would be happy and

grateful for the food I had.

It is because we are surrounded by this stuff all the time - and other people

eating it around us that we want to eat it. It is purely habit and temptation.

If it physically made you vomit when you ate it, you would avoid it. Because it

doesn't do that and the effects are more insidious, we pretend it's ok. it's

not. We are fooling no one but ourselves.

They say that knowledge is power, and knowing this has certainly empowered me.

I am on a quest to convert as many people as I can to a natural low-carb way of

eating - whether they are interested in following Bee's diet or not. Doing

research helps to keep me focused. Doing my research, finding out the Truth

about the health system, and the food we eat, discovering Bee's diet,

encouraging others - they have all been ways to help me keep on the right path.

Getting rid of the bad food is a good place to start and anything I can do to

help others ditch the junk has to be of benefit in the long-term.

I grieve that I discovered all this too late to save my parents a lot of pain

and heartache, but am grateful that I can help myself and my husband and

precious children and my friends and that is what keeps me focused. How can I

promote this way of eating if I don't do it myself? I have to try and be the

'evidence' that it works. I still have some way to go, but I already have a

long list of things that have healed or improved since I have been low-carb (3

years) and on Bee's diet (1 year). I have to prove it to myself - and everyone

else....

I know it is hard to stay focused when you are feeling depressed but that gets

you into a cycle of self-defeating behaviour. You are floating in a boat with no

understanding of the direction you need to go in. But Bee's diet has given you

a new horizon. Something to aim for and keep your eyes focused on. It works,

but you have to keep rowing to get there. Bee and her diet are inspirational -

and you too can be an inspiration by being the 'evidence' that it works.

I really hope you can get through this very stressful period in your life and

that your father is able to achieve some kind of recovery from the stroke. He

needs you more than ever right now - and he needs to know that you are looking

after yourself and doing the best you can for your own body.

Hugs - Ali.

+++ Hi

You've been given some great responses. I actually wish I were as angry as

Josh: no cheats! In a whole year! Wow! I can't seem to go 3 weeks w/o

cheating and I, too, have been on Bee's pgm for a year.

But I, too, am angry at the lies we have been told. That we can eat whatever we

want and just look to the medical society to 'cure' us.

How awesome of Bee and many others whom have discovered that we can indeed

control - to an extent (we're not God, after all) - our health by controlling

our diet.

I encourage you just to read Bee's site. See what she says about diet, blood

sugar, heart disease, diabetes, etc... so many health matters that we can

control via diet.

I think you will be encouraged enough to live and then not only to live, but to

give others a hand up, as well.

Healing prayers for your daddy...and your heart and will to live...
