In the 10 years I have been a Cambridge
Diet distributor I have had the good fortune of meeting some of the most
amazing people from all over the country that I never would have met otherwise.
A small percentage of these people are in the catagory of what is referred to
as the "super morbidly obese" or those that have more then 200 pounds
to lose. In general the average customer that I start has anywhere from 80 to
120 pounds they want to lose. Most people that find themselves in that range
feel overwhelmed at the job ahead, but not hopeless. That tends to change once
the number gets to 200, 300, or more. Diabetes and high BP are common for
people in the average catagory, but once you get in to the higher numbers
you can be dealing with serious conditions like lymphodema, infections and
immobility. Many of these people become housebound and can't easily seek
medical care when needed. Often times they have had to learn
to bury their desires and talents while their world becomes very small and
unfullfilled. Simple things like having a job, riding in a car, or going
to the movies become too difficult or even impossible. The emotional
impact can be life threatening as well with depression and suicidal thoughts.
The main thing that needs to happen is a restoration of hope. Once that takes
place these amazing people tap in to a strength and determination that most
others never have to find. Cambridge is a wonderful tool, but the real change
has to occur in the mind and heart of the person with a new beliefe in their
ability to change their life for the better. I absolutely love working with
them! It is truly a previlage to be part of their lives as they go through the
experience of redescovering their authentic selves.
