What am I doing wrong!!?

I appreciate the reminder of healing. Having wrestled with weight since my teens (once having lost almost 100lbs over almost 3 years thru 12 step program) the losing pounds is my 1st focus, tbh, but I am also eager for the increase in overall health and wellness that I know is coming.
Congratulations on your journey and i look forward to sharing your experiences, soon 😊

I remember the first time I heard cellulose as a food ingredient is usually wood pulp. Turns out one of the "stated" reasons for using cellulose in our food is for its anti caking properties. And here's where the joke writes itself, What product uses anti caking ingredients? CAKE MIX 😁

Some of those weight loss stories are correct. I ended up around 30lbs in 30 days, give or take a pound or a day here and there.
It is definitely worth celebrating. But shortly after that month I was off medicine I had been on for 6+ years for an auto-immune disease. Some 16-17 months later I think I have had my last infusion (7-8 hours every six months).
So even with an amazing weight loss (total about 95lbs 17 months) the healing and not taking medicine or infusions far outweigh that weight loss. (if that makes any sense at all).
The weight loss tends to be the headline but the healing and health improvements normally mean more.
Good luck.
