Before we start a little disclaimer!
I am not here to promote a healthy lifestyle.
I am not here to sell a product - that's the reason I'm writing this - I guess you just have to trust me on that one.
I am not associated with any brand or around to promote it. I don't want your money, but I love all forms of attention so feel free to comment.
This is just my diary. I am not a writer or particularly good at writing. My grammar is terrible, I waffle on, get paranoid no wants to read this crap and shorten everything to near bullet points.
So perhaps a little "blaa blaa blaa backstory stuff blaa blaa" would be a nice start?
I am 30 years old. Female. Yet to help re-populate the Earth (are you reading handsome man who lives in my house?). I am naturally quite slender - 5'5" around 9stone in weight.
Due to circumstances beyond my control I can no longer run like I used to, play football, basketball, tennis etc. Overall I have become very inactive except when I'm at work or dog walking or decide I need to own that **** on the dance floor who most definitely, inadvertently, challenged me to a dance off on a Saturday night in Walk-A-Bout.
I love all foods and drink that are "bad for me","cause cancer","will damage your kidney's, liver, insert any other body organ here", "a heart attack between two slices of deep fried bread" etc etc.
I strongly dislike most raw un-processed foods though as I get older I grow more tolerant. Broccoli is not the enemy ... sprouts are.
I also really really love sleeping.
So life caught upto me - all this heart attack food, excessive alcohol consumption (god I hope legal&general aren't going to read this??! Thank god for annonaminity) and lack of physical movement has lead to the inevitable. I am starting to get a spare tyre, fat hips and thighs (no thigh gap shock horror!) and bit of sticking out around the old bra strap ... but still flat chested. Damn you fat distribution!!
No I'm not "fat" but I'm not happy with the direction my body is going.
The reason (I am assuming) you are reading this, is like me I wanted to know if this Forever Living Cleanse 9 thing was a real way to lose a few lbs and lose a few inches quickly or were my friends and facebook aquantences just trying desperately to convince me they hadn't made god awful life choices, joined a cult and just really wanted my hard earned ££ in exchange for toilet sludge to fund their aloe vera and protein shake habit.
But the before and after pictures are convincing me a bit.
So I do what any 21st century individual does - I go on google.
Every review I read seem to be blatently done by people who have connections for Forever Living. They clearly take pictures that market the product and always end with closing sale paragraphs.
So I go on Amazon. Good 'ol Amazon a free voice for the everyman. But again the same distrust seeps across my mind - are the 5 star reviews by Forever Living sales people?
The few one star reviews didn't fill me with confidence either "the gel was disgusting so I just drank chocolate milk instead. I didn't lose anything waste of money :-(".
Hmmm
So in the end I think eff it! If I don't try I wont know.
My friend makes a sale. She is getting married soon so maybe I wont have to buy her those crystal glasses..
My purse becomes lighter and hopefully I do too.
Ready to go?
