Transcript of My 2BRecoverED with LIMU call
Thank You all for Your time tonight. Hope you don’t mind but it’s easier if I just read my notes.
I started this path 2BRecoverED from Restrictive type Anorexia with LIMU a little over 3 years ago when all they had was the Original juice.
I was underweight as far back as I can remember. In the 4th grade the teacher used Me as the model of a skeleton because all my bones protruded from my skin. In fact, that year I weighed between 40-49 pounds and so was this 10 pound a year pattern until the 10th grade when I finally got up to 102; then stopped gaining.
My 1st pregnancy I was able to gain 10 pounds to 112 and My 2nd I gained 22. Both babies were 7lbs 15oz and 21 ½ “long. 4 weeks after giving birth both times I was back to my “normal” 102 size.
By May of 2007 I was eating about ¼ cup of Hamburger Helper at dinner with the Family and hardly drinking anything at all. This is when I stepped on the scale for the 1st time since I could remember & was shocked that my weight was 96 lbs at the age of 35. I had to finally admit to Myself & Family that I had a problem eating food – I was Anorexic.
This is where the path started for Me and within just a week or so I received a call from My Aunt Jane LaLonde about Uncle Terry’s throat cancer. Diagnosed stage 4 and told to get his affairs in order right before the Dr. went on vacation.
She had dabbled in LIMU but with this news she went all in and started him on a regimen of 12oz Original daily. From mid-December to mid-February all he had for any sort of treatment was LIMU and the pictures sold me right away; within that time, his tumor visibly shrunk in ½ and all the redness & swelling gone.
Another 4 months with chemo & radiation with LIMU and he is cancer free to this day – over 3 years now.
I figured if this juice could shrink a tumor, it might just help me 2BRecoverED as well as My Family.
We were making just $460 a month at the time and I made the biggest leap of Faith in my life and made the call. Back then we had to pay $25 membership fee in order to get on Autoship.
What happened next was simply amazing! The case arrived in the late afternoon. I gave my children the recommended 2oz, but Wayne & I took 4. Then before bedtime we took another 4. The next day we did the same and the 3rd we cut back to 2.
We figured it was just food & he with a bent frame due to Osteoarthritis and a nasty cold and me starving to death – literally we had faith that it would Not hurt.
On the 4th day he woke to find himself standing straight up for the 1st time in many years. As for Me, I actually ate a bowl of cereal.
You see, Anorexia is a Mind and Body “illness” and can be manifested by one or the other to begin with and then overlaps both. So when I say I could Not eat, it means that whenever I put food in my mouth it was like chewing rocks – even pudding, then to get the rocks past the throat was near impossible and if by chance some made it to My stomach it sat like well…rocks.
In My case, anorexia started in my brain at a very young age. By the time I was 35 it was all I knew how to do and I did it very well.
Anorexia in my opinion is the polar opposite of Obesity. One clings to food to cover their emotions or help them feel safe in times of stress. The other completely avoids food all together.
Anyways, I stayed on the Original every month - only the Lord knows how we could afford it for the 1st 3 years, but we made it happen and gradually I regained My strength and ability to eat solid food. I also had some ups & downs as I fought the enemy that I had created inside of My mind. My highest weight was 120 which didn’t last long before pressure & stress came along and restriction once again ruled my life. I never stopped the juice but continued to forge on.
Then this year The Company came out with LEAN and I couldn’t have been more thrilled! Finally! A Full Meal in liquid form from a company that I Trust & have come to depend on.
I’ve been told all my life that I walk to the beat of a different drum and so I took a product designed with weight Loss in mind and turned it upside down to fit My needs.
By the time Lean arrived at My door, I was under another attack from within & restriction brought me back down to 102.
At 1st I could only tolerate 1 scoop at a time as I started the Last Re-Feeding Syndrome I’ll ever have to go through for the rest of My Life. They weren’t wrong about all the energy it would take to relearn how to digest food, or the severity of side-effects caused by the Syndrome, ranging from confusion, dizzy, coma and even death. Sure am glad I had My LIMU to help Me through I’ll tell Ya that!
Soon enough I was up to the full 2 scoops in addition to real solid food & the juice.
I took the LEAN Summer Challenge more for Me than anything else & was elated to find just days before the end, my Dr. came and said “You are cancer free & 117 pounds.”
I had been previously diagnosed and treated for cervical cancer and this visit was my 1 year check-up to make sure they got it all. Of course after seeing Uncle Terry’s pictures I was never worried about cancer, My biggest problem was the Anorexia.
I guess that was a shock to me on the inside and so I lost 2 pounds, but have successfully stayed 115 for I’m not sure how long now. That’s the most I’ve ever weighed in My Life without pregnancy.
LIMU LEAN is a Weight Management System that works on Both ends of the spectrum of Eating Disorders. The 6 different kinds of protein in 1 shake gives me more protein than I would “normally” have in a month, plus all the Nutrients one could ask for in a meal including that extra shot of Original mixed right in.
Oh! I almost forgot. My nails & hair are longer & stronger than they have ever been. Not real amazing in itself, but consider the fact that I have struggled hard most of my life with restriction, this is darn near an impossible feat due to the fact that I have not been ingesting enough solid food to provide My Body with an overabundance of Nutrients to be able to just grow & throw them away like that.
Also I finally grew out of my 13 year old daughter’s pants. Before LIMU I wore size 10-12 Girls’ clothes and today I can fit nicely into Women’s size 5-6.
I started this journey for MySelf & My Family but it has become my mission to help educate and reciprocate The Blessing of LIMU to all who are suffering malnutrition.
My journey 2BRecoverED with LIMU is just about finished, but that’s not where My story ends. It is only the beginning of a Life RecoverED with LIMU.
Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. :D
With LIMU it’s so easy to get healthy – even this Anorexic can Do It!
I pray the God of Hope will fill You All with Joy & Peace as You Trust in Him.
I’m Barbara A Thornton and I am LIMU - Lady Limu.

Then vs Now
"You don't know what You got until it is gone" is definately a True statement.
I was however conscious of the "feeding times" & length in between. I think i did pretty good in the solids department as I did not lose any weight. Still a healthy 115. Yay!
So i was thinking & talked to My Family about this the other day:
I started at 96 pounds a little over 3 years ago.
I am 115 now.
That is a 19 pound gain over that length of time.
That must be a Healthy weight gain, I conjectured aloud.
"You know Mom," my Daughter says, "When people Diet they are supposed to lose Only about 1.5 to 2 pounds at max per week. So, you're probably right."
Now I know that is "mearly" 5 pounds a year of Sustained Increase to a Healthy Weight with the LIMU Brand, Premier Fucoidan Blend liquid dietary support system.
But 1st we must Realize or Detect a "problem" where Health is concerned and then to understand the background of the "illness" as well as the person with the affliction; to see what, how & why This particular scenario is significant with it's subtle life changing effect.
When My Son was born, I weighed 112 - up 19 full pounds by the day of delivery. With My Daughter 3 years later, I was able to get to 124 - a full 22 pounds. Both babies: 7lbs 15oz, 21 & 1/2 inches long.
So we can see how this traveled along with me well into my 30's when i finally Realized & Admitted I had a problem & it's name is Anorexia who always acompanies The Voice.
Then 'The Blessing' of LIMU came into our home and the Only thing we had to do to attain it was simply sign up on Autoship for 1 case a month and pay a $25 Member fee (back then it was like that, now it's Free).
That was all we had to Do. Just make the call. Get started the next week.
"i've been without Nutrients this long, what is a little longer?" I heard the Voice say.
That 1st case arrived and for 2 years we drank only LIMU Original juice. That "problem" I spoke of earlier? Yeah...well we, meaning: me on the Inside, AN, that Voice and Me on the outside, battling to be "King of the Mountain" except the "Mountain" was Me. My Body. My Mind. My Spirit. My Life.
How completely Awasome is that? The LIMU Brand comes out with LEAN! Drinking 'just' 2 shakes a day is now feeding My Whole Self 70% of the RDA for virtually Every Nutrient: vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, the Most Omega's one can get and the list goes on....
So for months now i've been able to ingest Not Only the fucoidan & 70+ Nutrients in 1 oz but I have been blessed to receive the LEAN to add extra LIMU in My day on top of the 6 different kinds of protein and carbohydrates! That is a dream come true!
Let's see, 15 pounds over 3 years is a decent gain considering i was emaciated & nutrient deplete most of my life. Now My muscles are growing along with Much Needed (visceral) fat to protect My Body & My Mind as well as giving Me a sense of Peace with every LIMU product ingested throughout the day ~ a sense that I am doing just fine, My family & Me are all healthier than could ever be as long as we continue to step out on Faith and keep receiving that blessing of Health.
Now that I have been going through...what? A 2nd puberty? Of sorts maybe as My Body grows stronger & larger - to a Healthy Weight- pains & all, Ya know?
I can only imaging that as long as I stay the course, feeding My Body & my Mind, I will come out the other side better than could have been expected.
Anyways, that's my rambling for now as I traverse to the end of the path, 2BRecoverED; with LIMU, the Nutrients are so easy to get...even an ANorexic can Do It!

My LIMU LEAN Challenge Results
I'm Barbara A Thornton a.k.a. Lady Limu and I also completed the LIMU'Summer in the Sun' 90 day Challenge.
However, my Mission was to Gain a LEAN, Healthy weight as I finish my journey on the path 2BRecoverED from Anorexia (AN).
I started the path 3 years ago when all LIMU had was their ORIGINAL juice - 'The Blessing' I like to call it because i was 96 pounds when the Opportunity was presented to me.
Never could I have imagined another product on the market designed with Optimal Nutrients & Health in mind...until LIMU LEAN Meal ReplacementShakes, although i call them Meal Addition.
The 1st few weeks on the LEAN was grueling. Previously i had sustained my weight at 120lbs but a series of unfortunate life events facilitated the AN triggers & subsequent restriction of all food leaving me totally Dependent on the Original juice as that was all i was "allowing" MySelf to ingest.
I started the Challenge;
Weighing 102;
Wearing a size 12 to 14 GIRLS pants;
My breasts less than an A cup;
My hips, non existant except the protruding bones;
My limbs were little more than straight sticks.
In the beginning I could only tolerate 1 scoop as the AN & me had to gothrough the Refeeding Syndrome - where Solid Food is re-introduced intomy system parts & This is the Make it or Break it stage.
The side effects include confusion, comotose, even death. The bodytakes ALL the energy from every cell and uses it to Digest which leavesNOTHING left over for thinking or even moving.
After a couple of weeks I increased my daily dosage to the full 2 scoops once a day with a 1
scoop in between as well as increasing my "feeding times" and portions.
By week 5 I was up to 108 having gained 6 Solid, Muscle pounds (NOT fatwhich helped to lessen the anxiety about the weight gain - knowing it wasNot fat).
By July 5th, I was at 110 when I went on a 3 week vacation after another"triggering" death. 1.5 weeks later i was dealth another serioustriggering, unfortunate event that left me completely devastated.
I combated the AN the Only way i knew how - LIMU LEAN, Original juice &Blu Frog throughout every day.
When I arrived home I was happily amazed to find my weight was still at110! I had lost Nothing as my solids decreased & liquids LIMU increased.
Back home with the last week of the Challenge, i really set My mind & schedule to reach my goal - 117 to 120 in 90 days. My LEAN increased to twice daily while I continued to push through the AN wall forcing the solid food to go down.
It just so happened I was due for my 1 year cervical cancer check-upright as the Challenge was ending. There's good news x 2 to this story.
Not only am I cancer Free!
My weight is 117.
My pants are size 5 WOMENs;
My breasts are nearly a B cup;
My hips no longer allow me to step into a slip, it now must go over my head.
My limbs were commented on just yesturday by my 13 yr old daughter,"Mom!" she exclaimed as she reached over to grab my bicep & squeeze thethickness. "You have really big muscles! I want mine to look that way."
Melted my heart to hear My Daughter say that she wanted to be Like Me. NOW that I am healthy. I flexed them both and watched the amazed smile float across her face. She was Proud of Me.
I give the Lord the glory for this awesome transformation going on inMy Body & Mind and I give LIMU the praise for walking in His ways to bring real Healing & Health to Me & You!
Anorexia vs 90 day LEAN Challenge =
15 pounds gained.
6 pant sized gained.
1 bra cup gained.
Formation of hips.
Muscled & toned limbs.
There simply is NO easier path to take 2BRecoverED than with LIMU!
May the God of Hope fill You with all Joy & Peace as You trust in Him!
