Re: How to drop a jeans size - the mouseclick way ;)

I'll second that Hopinso, great post Steve!!!  I'll have to agree that fasting isn't the best way to lose weight but it sure is a kick in the pants toward changing your lifestyle if you pay attention to what your body is telling you after the fast.  I reset my tastes through fasting but I've still go a ways to go in that area but as you know my Vita-Mix is helping me in that.  I didn't fast as long or as many times as you did but I still gained insight into what to feed my body.

I see far too many come here and want to fast strictly for losing weight and it is a great tool to start with but I've read about too many going back to the bad eating habits they had before and end up gaining even more weight than they lost through fasting. Hopefully your post will help some see that there is more to sustaining the weight loss after the fast then they thought.  Its not easy to change ones life but it is attainable with an attitude and goal of wanting to change no matter what the obstacles.  You are living proof of that.

That picture is worth a 1000 words isn't it?  Wow what a difference, I know when you look at that you've got to be so proud of what you've accomplished, we're all proud of you too.  I like what you said about getting younger through nutrition, its very true.  I bet you wouldn't even have considered going and knocking on a door and running before you started on this journey huh?  LOL, that is so funny and proof that we can immensely slow down the clock through doing what's right for our body.

As for Steve Jobs the CEO of Apple.  Just a few short words on his story.  When the financial crisis started in the fall of last year Apple stock was one of only 2 companies that never went down. Until Steve Jobs stepped down as CEO due to his health.  I saw him make the speech and he looked really bad. That was after he made the speech in the video you posted.  I don't know what the problem was, he didn't say, all he said was he needed to take some time with his family, but the difference in his appearance in the video and in the step down speech was telling, he didn't even look like the same guy. I can't remember but within a couple of days Apple stock started going way down.  I love my MacBook and I'm hoping he'll be back as CEO.

I hope he has found his way back to health.  While watching this video my heart went out to him, I wish I could tell him he has a much better chance of healing himself through nutrition.  I wish he knew what we've been learning in the last several months.  

Anyway congratulations on how you've turned your life around for the better.  I know you'll never go back, you couldn't, you know too much now to go back.
