Good Morning Friends & Neighbors!!
120 on the nose today! I FEEL Great! Got my 1st Kudo already w/ Original Limu.
So, they've been asking @ http://twitter.com/2BRecoverED What is a Kudo? I just emailed a dear friend w/ED who is just starting her Kudo chart on my pleading. So, here are excerpts of that email. I hope it helps:
"YES! snack counts as a Kudo!
However, if it is just 3 grapes, then a small kudo. Or i tear mine in half to indicate that YES I Did It! But...it was a small portion that is really too small to count as a Kudo. However, at the end of the week, they all add up!
Then You can do a Happy Dance :), or just revel in the fact that You made it through another week and Fought Back for Your Life.
After a few months of this, it really does Feel quite Cool! It also helps to identify early my daily progress in a positive way instead of just the negative stimuli coming from the disease within.
When i see that Vibrant Purple piece of construction paper on my fridge (9"x6") with all those colorful, shiny, happy stickers on it, i FEEL HAPPY. I FEEL POWER about opening the door to get another sticker - A KUDO! When i drink an 8oz glass of milk outside of a meal, i get a Kudo. It's Nutrition going into My Body.
I Am Putting It There.
I AM FIGHTING BACK!
When I eat 2 handfulls of grapes, I get a Kudo.
I SEE & FEEL I AM WINNING THE BATTLE!
I am so Happy & Proud of YOU implementing this technique!! I am having Great Success! I didn't when i started it a few months back. I wish i would have thought of this 2 years ago!
The main thing is I Started.
So Have YOU!!
And actually, the way You are doing it sounds pretty healthy. Just as long as it is not donuts and coffee for breffie; McDonald's for lunch. I don't think You are. In fact that is EXACTLY where i want to be! How 'bout that? One step ahead of me!
The body functions better with a heavy breffie & heavy lunch, little food after dusk. In fact @ http://oprah.com/article/oprahshow/200903305-tows-oz-calorie-restriction-restriction/4 Great article & info.
Add couple oz Original Limu or can of Blu Frog and You're set!"
Here are some excerpts of that article Dr. Oz wrote on Living Longer w/calorie restriction:
(emph. mine)
"Live Long with Calorie Restriction."
"Have to make sure the calories that are consumed are of Highest Bioavaililility and Nutrient Dense - Then yes - a calorie restricted Intense Nutrient diet With activities Will increase life span.
"When You restrict calories, the body understands that it doesn't haveresources to waste.
"We don' have toxic waste products coming out of Our Energy Cells...actually able to get the individual cell lines to Live Longer."
This coincides with what I've been saying over the last 2 years with my journey through recovery of Anorexia - severe calorie restricted diet.
I am NOT Cheating, (in my recovery from ED)
I AM FEEDING my body the MOST NUTRIENT DENSE, BIOAVAILABLE & NUTRIENT DENSE product on the planet!
In fact, i get Another Kudo! I am sipping Another 2oz right now as i write. I have to go into town later and i find with a couple extra oz in my bloodstream always helps - Physically and Mentally.
Feed the Body the Brain WILL Follow!
OH! Almost forgot, i wanted to share last 3 wks Kudo charts w/y'all.
3-22 to 3-28 = 32.2 Kudos (.2 are those small snacks)
3-29 to 4-4 = 16 Kudos
4-5 to 4-11 = (so far) 16 Kudos! Still have 1/2 week left and already at the intake of the previous week. No wonder why i feel so good and healthy!
See, it's ok to have a lower calorie intake ( Lower calorie - NOT No Calorie!) as long as You have Real, Whole Food that is so dense in Nutrients Your body can't help but put it all to work repairing damage from that 1st sip on, preventing future damage by ridding the body of toxins, bourishing the very cells that make up our body to perform better, last longer, and be stronger.
I Feel like the 6 Million Dollar Woman!
And this is after years of abuse and neglect to this body through toxins and severe malnutrition.
In just 2 short years, i have transformed my body ONLY because of Original Limu's 83% Fucoidan content, Pure Whole Food Liquid Nutrition.
Blessings of Peace & Health and Life More Abundant to YOU!
Take Care of YOU Today!

hey hun it is lisa from twitter
ReplyDeletei like the kudos thing :)
i want to encourage you to keep trying to challenge the anorexia.
i developed an ED in 2001 (anorexia), had that until age 19 then changed to bulimia (i am more a mix of both). from the ED i have developed bowel and gut problems along with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. the longer the ED sticks the more complications you develop and the harder it becomes to eat normal due to the complications.
So keep trying daily to challenge the anorexic thinking and have some food to give you energy and focus
xox
Hi Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI am glad this is encouraging to you. I hope You can use this technique as well. For bulimia, everytime You eat and keep it down, that's a Kudo!
The complications of ED are too numerous to mention, but i do not want to leave out the heart.
This is why i started drinking Original Limu after researching on http://pubmed.gov about Fucoidan.
With all the years of damage i have inflicted on this body, something had to give. Either my health or the complications of the ED. I chose to fight the ED with easy liquid nutrition that would start right away to reverse the damage. Liquid, because i could not eat.
Been working wonders! 2 years now and stronger than ever, physically and mentally. Plus i get added benefit of Nurtients on my worst anorexic days when it is easier to tip the bottle than make food.
Come back Anytime! You and Your comments/views are welcome here!
p.s.
You get a Kudo from me for having the strength to speak out about Your ED!
No longer are we stuck in the closet where this disease festers on lonliness and isolation. The door is wide open and the Light of recovery is Real. All we have to do is take a step toward it everyday and we'll achieve Life more abundant than we ever imagined!
Blessings of Peace & Health to You Lisa!
