Thumbs up My mother's success story!

TEN POUNDS ARE GONE!

I started my low carb way of life last Wednesday. Seeing my mother after surgery drove home the reality of needing to be healthy in life. I witnessed her pay off this week!

My mother just had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction at the same time. BIG JOB! She looks wonderful and is recovering remarkably. My mother has followed the Low Carb way of life since Atkins came out in the 70's. When we checked her into the hospital they asked her what medications she was on at this time. She is taking blood pressure medication and one other one. She is 63 today and is healthier than her children, ages ranging from 37 to 50. I'm 45 and on 7 different medications! I could rid myself of a few of these medications simply by loosing weight.

I finally grabed myself by the boot straps last week and said, "Get your act together, NOW!" I have been suffering with pain and the inablility to do the things I like to do for what? Cake, cookies, candy (my weakness)? No.... If I ever get breast cancer, I want to be as healthy as I can to fight back. Not weak and worn out because I didn't want to walk away from foods I know are not healthy for me.

Recovering Nicely, Ela

I'm glad to hear she is recovering well.
