                                                              The pain was so constant that depression set in.

                                                                                       I can personally tell you as an
                                                                                       obese person carrying all that
                                                                                       added weight all day and all
                                                                                       night, I had lots of exercise
                                                                                       because my back, feet and
        knees were always in constant pain.  If healthy people had as much exercise as I did, their backs, knees and
        feet would be just as painful.  I had to sit down as quickly as possible because I was always out of breath,
        uncomfortable and exhausted carrying all that useless CEMENT all day and all night - FOREVER.

        The worst part was I didn’t want anyone to know how awful I felt because I knew
        the lecture I would get about my weight.  At 34, romance was a distant thing of the
        past and so were many other things – like swimming, boating, and even a simple
        walk in the park.  Why would anyone pay this price ?     YES . . . I was addicted to
        Processed SUGAR.  Look at this 7UP ad to see why > > >

        PICK ONE – A or B:
        (A) A daily walk in the park with your dog or friend AND one terrific meal a-day OR
        (B) Sit at home in pain with your CEMENT that cost an extra $10,000 to $30,000
        a year in food and medical expenses PLUS the loss of 7 – 10 years of your life ?
