In 2010 I decided to get healthy. I have been diagnosed with endometriosis, adenomyosis, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis an auto-immune disease, anxiety disorder, depression, insomnia and infertility. When I gave birth to a little girl in 2007 through infertility treatment I frantically started searching for ways to make sure that she never had to deal with all of these issues. This lead to organic, green living w/ glass bottles and cloth diapers. It was at the beginning of this year that your book came into my life through a friend. I have taken Norco for over eight years for pain, as well as many more meds I won't go into. My doctors have been pushing me to have a full hysterectomy for 8 years. This last month my husband and I went in for our infertility appointment with our doctor and we were told that I did not need medication! I was not just releasing one egg, or two, but ten! Since January I have lost over 30 pounds & counting! I have gone months without a panic attack. My skin is glowing, my hair is healthier than ever before. My energy is through the roof and sleep better every night. I have been able to eliminate over 7 meds from my daily routine, and the rest are on their way! My two year old daughter, Monica, is simply flourishing on this diet! She loves fruit and veggies. She has always been a little girl with lots and lots of energy but her energy is now focused! She loves to garden with her daddy in our organic garden and she is putting on weight at a steady and healthy pace. Her pediatrician says she is doing better than ever before! For Mother's Day this year I gave my mother your book. More than everything else that I have gained from the Kind Diet, I have gained a love of my body and my soul and I want to share that with my mother and every other woman who I come across. Thank you for sharing your heart with the world. You changed my family's life and we are forever thankful!

Congrats! Your story is inspirational. A side note, I flagged something as cool before and it worked, but I just tried it on your post and it said inappropriate! I'm sorry, I thought I was helping!

This post is COOL lol

Congrats! your story gives me hope. Last month got my period for the first time in 18 years without the use of drugs and my husband and I are over the moon. I hope I get it this month also, if not I actually get to take a pregnacy test without the thought of this is such a waste! Good luck on your journey.

*hugs*

Michelle thank you for your kind thoughts I appreciate the attempt to inject the coolness into my post! That is the same thing that I did and it flagged it as inappropriate, haha. The point is to get the story out there though and it worked so I am a happy camper! Kelly, I am so happy for you! It is amazing to me how much my life has changed in these past five months and how much I hear it changing the lives of others. Kelly I really really hope that you are pregnant lots of hugs and good vibes being sent your way. I know how hard this all is and I hope that soon I get to read your story on here.
Lots of love and hugs to all you kind lifers out there!!
