Through the Restore Program and my participation in it, I am now experiencing more freedom. My first response to my conditional acceptace to MediShare was a bit of resistance to being told I must go on a diet and exercise.
However, I yielded. I was not happy with the way I was eating or with how I felt or looked. I knew, even though I had "feelings" of resistance, that it was God's help for me and so I was thankful.
Next, I was shocked when I received the tape, book and workbook and saw it was "vegetarian". But the book was really good and I felt good as I ate more veggies, fruits and beans and less of some other things.
My health consultant had the knowledge, experience, time and willingness to make the program work for me. It was personal, and made changes so much easier than doing it on my own would have been.
To God be the glory for this beneficial six month period for me. Of major importance to me is the flexibility of the program, as I experienced (and will continue) it. If I go to a party, potluck, have a birthday, or to someone's home for a meal, I am free to have whatever is served that I choose. I am able to go right back to my usual (now preferred for most of the time) low fat, low sodium, nutrient rich foods.
A problem I've had in the past with diets is when I would "break it" or "blow it". It was often an excuse to keep on eating all the wrong things. It is different now. Now, I am glad to go back to the plan of the nutrient-rich foods.
