Deborah's Story!

Deborah says ~ *My story is mainly about mental illness and how Plexus helped me gain a new life! I wanted to put this at the top so anyone with similar issues don't skip this one.
My life began a downward spiral around 1990. I was diagnosed with depression, and as I began taking my first antidepressant, I didn't like how I felt, and found it difficult to get out of bed before noon each day. I struggled for a few years being very unhappy, and I left husband #3 because I felt so alone, and I was also raising 3 young daughters on my own. Fortunately, I managed to find a great guy and married one last time! I then spent the next 20 years on disability. I've had epileptic seizures since age 14, but about this time, began to have arthritis, fibromyalgia, anxiety disorder, constant migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, asthma, allergies, and was diagnosed as being bipolar. Most of my illnesses were considered mental, but with each of them working against the other, I couldn't handle stress and being in public often. I've always loved people, but I just didn't believe anyone loved me. I remember many nights wanting to just go to sleep and never wake up, I felt like I was in the way.
I had a few jobs through those "disabled" years. I would usually begin at the bottom and work my way to the top, becoming a manager. In time, the stress would cause a breakdown. My meds weren't really helping me, and the more I took, the more I needed. I wasn't who I wanted to be in life, but when I tried to better myself, I felt a tremendous amount of negativity from others, and I would just give up. I rarely went out into public, so when I did, it took me hours to get ready. I was afraid to face people for fear of disappointing them. I learned how to live this way, so it became routine and consumed my life.
On February 7, 2012, I decided to try a weight loss product I had seen some Facebook friends posting about, a new product called Plexus Slim. I saw the posts about various health issues that were being helped, but the weight loss part is what convinced me, because I KNEW my ailments could never be helped. I would just be happy to lose some weight. So I began the product, lost almost 20 lbs that very first month, signed up as a Plexus Ambassador the very next month to save money on my purchases. As time went by, I noticed I had energy I never felt before, I wanted to go outside more often, I didn't mind going out in public as much, and began to FIND a life, not GET it back, because in all reality, I don't feel I ever truly had one! I wasn't crying anymore, and wondering if this was IT for me, I was actually making PLANS! What could I do next? My anxiety attacks began to diminish, and totally disappeared. So did my other ailments!
I LOVED PLEXUS -- I never missed a day! I stayed consistent, and just I kept going. I soon saw the light at the end of the tunnel, until I came out of that dark, lonely tunnel!!! I eventually began taking all the products, Plexus Slim, ProBio5, BioCleanse, & the Accelerator. My constant pain began to go away from using Plexus Slim alone, but I kept the Fast Relief Capsules & Cream available for emergencies!
This miracle in my life took place in less than one year! I rarely get sick now, I am off ALL my medications, I've lost over 40 lbs so far, and my life is getting more amazing by the day.
I now realize that my life has a purpose, and I take better care of myself! I also use the XFactor Supplements to have even better health! Helping others is a very important part of my daily ritual. I still take all my products, I'm proud to say that my trying Plexus has helped hundreds of friends and family members decide to and improve the quality of their lives as well! I love talking about Plexus and what it has done for those using the products. I have 17 family members that have already lost over 500 lbs while using Plexus! What an amazing testimonial I have, and there are many more stories being shared, some that you may relate to as well! I know what Plexus has done for me, what can it do for YOU? You will never know if you don't give it a try! My life is worth it, and so is YOURS!!!

Losing it and David's results!!

It's not just for women. I know how hard dieting can be and I have seen my own husband struggle with his weight. He has roller coastered with his weight for the last 2 years. Below is David's testimony and his results may vary from others!
David says ~ I need to Thank my upline and our competitive nature. (j/k) I was 260 lbs, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Low Testosterone, and completely lethargic. My Dr. put me on Phentermine and while I did lose 20 pounds, my heart... was freaking out and I hated every minute of it. Il felt like garbage everyday and I stopped taking it. I started gaining weight back and I needed to something with my life and fast. I was utterly depressed. Thats when my upline and personal friend introduced me to Plexus. I started Plexus at roughly 245lbs and I just hit the 200 mark. My blood pressure is way down and although I still take medicince for it, I am on the lowest dosage. My cholesterol is awesome and I haven't taken a testosterone shot in over 2 months. I feel GREAT. Plexus saved my life atleast that is how I see it. Thank you Plexus.....

Where I come from and God's creation

I don't tell many people this and I think every woman or girl has felt this way. So, I don't feel like I am "different" or "special" because I once thought this or occasionally still do. But, I feel that sometimes saying it out loud may help another woman understand or feel comforted.

When I look in the mirror it's not what I thought I looked like. I always thought my skin was smoother or possibly less splotchy. My hair looked better or didn't curl in certain areas.

I remember how I once looked in the mirror at myself, I must have been 12 or so, and thought: "That can't be me. Who is this person looking back? Do mirrors really work?" Of course it was me but I didn't think I was pretty or that anyone else would think I was. Where did it come from? I'm not sure.

It could have come from my mom or my dad. It could have been society or just Satan being himself to me.

However, I do remember my dad referring to my mom as a whale, when she was trying to climb into our family's boat. I remember my dad telling me a woman was to "big" for him and thinking she was the same size I was. Or my dad saying he wanted a "No Fat Chicks" bumper sticker. I remember my mom being on endless diets. I remember her telling me she wasn't going to eat whatever meal we were having because she had a donut earlier that day. I recall being worried that my mom wasn't eating enough when she was pregnant with my youngest brother. Or my mom always telling me to suck in my gut. I also cringe when I think of how my aunt told me I was a heavy little girl growing up.

But the funny thing about all of those memories, I don't remember being worried about being fat or weighing too much. I just remember feeling like I wasn't pretty or enough.

And now that I am a mom I worry about my sweet little girl. One day I freaked when I told her she was skinny, me being worried she was too thin, and her smiling at me proudly and saying how happy she was skinny. Where did that come from? I thought she was perfect any way she was. Was I sharing the feeling that being skinny was the only way she was pretty? Maybe.

But as I think about it, I am telling her that because I am not proud of myself. Children know. I remember knowing, even without words, what was going on at home. My parents didn't need to say it straight out for me to understand.

And so now as my beautiful girl is growing up, I realize I must learn to love myself. No matter if my hair is going gray way too early, if my weight is a little too high for my liking, that I still have acne at age 34, or that my breasts aren't where I would like them to be.

I must remember to be proud of who I am for my boys, so they can look at women and see the beauty they have. Because heaven forbid, I don't want my son referring to someone they love as a "beached whale" or no being pretty enough.

So after my big poor me party here. I am going to pick myself up and remind myself that God loves me and created me. God doesn't want me looking at His creation and saying how horrible it is.

I pray you too will look at yourself and see what a God sees!

Newest love!

I found a new love. No not a new guy. I love my husband way tooooo much for any of that. Anyways...
We found some great new stuff and my husband is using it to help him have more energy and gain his weight loss goals. Have you heard of it? It's called Plexus.
The product was developed to help diabetics level out their blood sugars and in the mean time they found there were some other side effects. However, they were good ones. They found the test subjects not only lost weight, but also lowered their blood pressure AND cholesterol levels.

Do you know of someone with diabetes? Are they suffering because they can't seem to get their blood sugars under control?

Are you:
  • Tired of dieting?
  • Tried every diet or nutrition plan and struggle?
  • Want to leave some weight behind?
  • Too busy to diet?
  • Too tired?
Plexus Slim can help you with all of these.
Just ask me how and I will be happy to help you figure out what will help you get to your health goals.

Hi again!

I am so sorry that I have been away for so long. Between school starting, business changes, and other life issues I have be lazy with this blog.
