We love interacting with our Integrative Nutrition community online, including our Facebook page! This week we learned that many people know the exact moment at which they made a life-changing decision.
We asked:
When did you decide?
I want to be healthy.
You answered:
Lots of times over the years. Thirteen months ago, I committed to doing something about it. Haven't looked back since! – Suzanne P.
After a few false starts, about three months ago I hit the ground running... and it feels great. I think it's always going to be a bit of a juggle, but I feel well equipped to stay on top of it now. – SWELLmom
I always thought I ate healthy until my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After doing extensive research, which lead me to IIN, the tumor has stopped growing. Doctors are amazed. – Christine S.
April 2009! Fifty pounds lighter and now I'm a personal trainer and nutrition counselor. – Gabe J.
I thought I was healthy...until I got diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and was told I wasn't eating 'right' for me. I decided then that I wanted to be healthy - really healthy. And heal. That was 3.5 years ago. – Ilise R.
When my doctor kept telling me I needed more drugs to control my Crohn's disease. I am drug free and feeling great (Crohn's and all!) – Vickie M.
When my mother died at the age of (barely) 40 from cancer. I was 18 and decided to quit smoking. After that, several more people in my family got sick with cancer and some of them died. I decided I did not want to leave my children without a mother. – Kami Mercorella CH HC
November 16, 1978. I quit smoking that day. Couldn't believe it was possible! – Jane S.
I have fibromyalgia, after years of inactivity, poor food choices, weight gain and depression I new I had to make a change to enjoy my life. I have been on the road to health pretty strong since last November and feel better than I ever have! Loving life! – Laura P.
After I had aspartame poisoning in 2010 that mimicked MS for over a year. I stopped using artificial sweeteners and a week and a half later I was fine! I looked at what else was in our food and the politics behind it. That was when I decided to become a health coach to prevent others from going through what I did! – Healthy Healing Wellness, LLC
When Rose Payne presented Sugar Blues at my company! I went on to lose 52 pounds in 52 weeks when I was 52 by giving up sugar and walking an hour a day! - Simply Sugar Free
January of 2000, when I weighed the heaviest I have ever weighed and every activity made me out of breath and nauseated. Went on weight watchers and started running and just kept on running. Two half marathons and 60 pounds lighter and never looked back! – Nili S.
In 2006. I now have 17 pounds to go until I have lost 100 pounds. Yay! - Meghan T.
Every morning when I wake up. – Liz C.
