okay i simply have to share this with you all.
i went to the doctor to get my blood work done. as some of you oldtimers *giggling* may remember, i was diabetic, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and my liver was toxic... very very toxic. that was mar 07. last year in mar 08 i had my blood work done... after being raw for just over 6 months. my doctor was blown away with - not only my weight loss (over 100 pounds) but also my blood work. but... my residual iron levels were low AND my good cholesterol was low. he wanted new blood work done in 6 months.
well i don't do doctors much so it took me a bit longer to get them done... but i did, last week. i went this morning to get my results.
my doctor opened my chart and started paging through the results. he was saying "wow"... "oh wow"... "oh this is great"... "wow" as he went through the pages. he looked up at me and said, "aleesha you are the picture of perfect health, what have you been doing since i saw you last year?"... i said, "fasting and eating raw... and doing lots of yoga"
he responded (are you ready for this?)... "well keep it up!"
he said my good cholesterol is perfect, my iron is perfect, my thyroid is working great, my b12 is perfect... he said that my test results are literally the image of a person who is in top health. perfect health. that's the words he used. *beaming* i started clapping my hands together i was so excited.
he told me that he just can't believe the difference in me. he said, "you've lost more weight than you weigh... you look like your daughter sitting there." (my daughter is 22)
i am so beyond thrilled... i can't begin to explain it. it's soooooo nice to have a doctor who supports my life style choice 100%. he was just beaming at me while he was talking to me. he said he's so thrilled to see me like this...
then i stopped at my local market and was chatting with the lovely ladies who work there. they said, "look at your aleesha, you are literally melting away to nothing" i said, "yup that's the plan" and giggled. they said that the way i glow i beautiful to see.
now these are people who are total SAD people... and i was so touched for them to say that to me. there were lots of hugs being passed around!!!
so... that's my news. i'm beyond thrilled... beyond thrilled!!!
i hear so often of people who's doctors don't support this life style and i wanted you all to know that i do have a doctor (bc canada) who does support it... 100%. he keeps telling... the proof in the results! i went from a very unhealthy person to the picture of perfect health! all in about 18 months.
so... those of you who are pushing 300 pounds like i was... you can do this... you can be healthy if you are here over health issues... it IS really truly and honestly possible.
and i have the blood to prove it!!!
