Before starting with Network Marketing I was struggling to maintain work and my health. I had an erratic work history and in 2006 I was advised that I needed to lose at least 10 kilos or I would be up for a gastric banding or worse become a diabetic.
I had been working on getting the weight under control for many years through changing diet, pills, eating better, eating more fruit. Yet the diet was still very unhealthy something which I had failed to learn until adult years. I had to learn more about a better diet through a dietion who assisted me to learn so much.
As part of the plan to get my weight under control I was to go back to the gym and see a exercise physiologist. I was unable to work full time and was self-employed and on benefits, through being unable to maintain work. I mostly had casual, temporary or part time work and had been involved in around 3 network marketing companies or work from home programs, some were start-ups, some were scams, some were genuine, I’d done home care ™, Herbalife ™, Six figure income ™, as well as other companies which am unable to remember. I had also been working in customer service nites and as a trainer during the day for students who wanted to learn computers.
I had range of movement from reoccurring dislocating knee-caps and a curved lower back. I had stopped doing anything I wanted to do as was so scared of hurting myself more and making myself worse. So I just gave up on doing anything at all. I was also shy and had low self-esteem. At my heaviest I was 131 kilos, the initial goal which my doctor suggested was to lose 10 kilos. I was also unable to stand for extended periods of time.
With the improved diet and exercise I was able to start losing weight around 250 g a week, not much yet was still losing weight. That was one of the first times I’d been able to lose weight with support, a few much had helped keep my weight under control before going to the gym and starting in Network Marketing. Yet I was unable to keep that weight down.
At times I would also need physio for the back or knees, my knee caps had dislocated 4 times (3 times on left knee and 1 on the rite) since 1996. In mid-2007 I found network marketing whist working part time, also working on losing weight and regain my health. I found an add online whist searching for work and knew the people running the add from being involved in that company before. Saying to myself should I be meant to go back to Herbalife then ok.
This started a journey of my wildest dreams; initially my weight was starting to drop even more. It was working. Then my health started to improve, it became easier to get up and down the stairs at the gym, then my heart rate started to drop as this was quite often high when was working out. I started walking the pool to take pressure off the knees and build its strength again. I was able to stand for periods of longer than a couple of hours without any pain in my lower back.
I started being able to talk about what was going on for me gradually and started getting to know people. Had it not been for these products I would not be where I was today, now I also managed to improve my skin and to eat less, to have less dry skin, to need to eat less cheese, to be more regular, there was just so many changes to remember.
I had been used to personal development from the previous experience in network marketing, yet had stopped doing such. I left the company previously owing to ill advice from someone who I trusted, yet it turned out they were only concerned with themselves. Anyway I started to do what personal development could to become a beta person wanting to start a better life for myself, starting to learn relationship skills mostly as this was very hard. The family relationship was fractured owing to being unable to speak about what was going on for me and I was living in fear.
From here I learnt to be a beta person and who I was. I went on to lose 35 kilos by 31st Dec 2008. Then to lose a further 10 kilos from there for me it was lovely and health was easier. Yet I still had many challenges ahead.
In 2010 I found an eBook success in 10 steps by Michael Dlouhy which was an amazing read. I had been looking for ways to work at home around health as the methods had been trained in were producing bad results I was failing forward. Knowing that the company worked from its products, which an income was also doable yet I was unable to get that income. I had read a number of other eBooks and done what I could to earn an income from home.
By reading Michael’s eBook learning how to think and my why I was gradually able to become a better person. It started off with relationships slowly creating better ones, then onto a couple of quick intermit relationships, then onto one which lasted 6 months, now into another. I’d been scared of love all my life being hurt again although I had so much love to give. That just made it so hard for me to love anyone. These days I say I love you something that was rare to even hear from others at all, these days do more than ever knew and am planning my own future which never knew the way to until now.
I must thank everyone who has assisted me on my journey, although there have been way too many to name here. A special thanks goes to Michael, Willena and Ken the fabulous mentors who have guided me.
