I completely understand how you feel. Life is so much better, easier, more enjoyable. I feel empowered and in control more than ever before. It really seemed like I lived to eat but now food is not such a major part of my day sucking away my time, my energy, my health and ultimately my life. Even though my journey has just begun, my confidence is so much higher. I'm loving everything about all the changes so far and looking forward to even better things to come!
Congratulations on your success! Thanks for your post...very well said! Kim

Congratulations, Tracy. What a great message. It is so nice to hear someone celebrating life. I hope you give yourself credit for making some big decisions to make it all happen. You have many reasons to be proud of what you have done for yourself.
Your post is itself inspiring, especially to someone like me who is about to start down the same path- only 6 more days until Opti-fasting.
Keep up the good work, and keep posting to inspire the rest of us.
