Day one; I got the book, now how can I avoid reading it!!
I surf the web!
Well the powers that be act in very mysterious ways I stumbled upon this website -http://www.pinkboard.co.uk

Reading it I immediately recognised some symptoms;
Bloating, fatigue, aches and pains, depression, mood swings, back pain, irritability….the list is really endless. Mostly I put my symptoms down to PMS and being overweight.
However after reading this website it emerged that in fact I may be suffering from an unhealthy clogged up colon. Wow I would have never thought of that. Well actually that is a little misleading. Over the years I have researched my symptoms so thoroughly as to put Shelock Holmes to shame.
I have taken every supplement under the sun, had Acupuncture, Acupressure, Reflexology, you name it I’ve tried it, as still felt like s**t.
I had considered colonics, but felt too embarassed to go to a clinic - again my size and body image issues kept me hiding away. Then there is the issue of a stranger fiddling around in your most private place - not for me!
What this website offers is a home colonic system, everything neat, tidy and clean within the privacy of your own loo.

So I got a bit brave and called the chap who distributes this system. He was very charming and respectful and professional while taking about my colon, we could have been discussing the weather. He helped me understand the possible state of my insides, by describing my colon as the inside of a rubbish bin, that is a rubbish bin without a bin liner, imagine that, the sides of a bin that has not been protected with a liner, all that rotten food just sticking to the sides and not only that this bin has not been cleaned in 40 years. This image alone got me reaching for my credit card. The Home Colonic Cleansing Unit, is basically the bin liner for your insides.

By the end of the call I had taken the plunge and invested in a Home Colon Cleansing Unit.
It arrived alarmingly quickly, damn it I was hoping to put off becoming healthy for at least a couple of weeks.
I will not go into the details of using the Unit, but suffice to say it was simple, comfortable and really quite relaxing. I now use it once a week, and am feeling better that I can ever remember, my stomach is flat, no more constipation, bloating, mood swings or depression, I have also lost 20 pounds.
The board, for me when used alongside my weightloss programme has transformed my health, and feelings of wellbeing, I have much more energy, and vigour, I jump out of bed in the morning and look forward to my day, no more groans when my alarm goes off, in fact I no longer need an alarm clock. I wish I’d found out about colon cleansing years ago and saved myself years of bloated misery.

….I learned that you don’t need to be an addict or have terrible trauma to suffer from poor self image, at the risk of sounding militant the media reinforces idealised images of women and now men (David Beckam) - I know you know that already
- and I don’t need to tell you how negative this is for our teenage sons and daughters,
but hey, I’m 44 and still can feel inferior
(and that is to the women in the ‘Dove’ adverts, who are supposed to be real just like us)!!
Hells teeth! No wonder we are all on a mission to find the holy grail of skinny me.
However, a third of us are overweight.
The problem of course is not on our plates, but in our heads.
What about all the fat kids I hear you cry - they are not influenced by images of gorgeousness the media. Um… wake up and smell the ad for the skinny kid eating Big Macs.
So, we go on a diet.
I’ve been on many, but my expectations were rather high. I am not and never will be (however much weight I lose) Julia Roberts, no more that Julia Roberts will ever be Angelina Jolie…do you get me?
So, my mission is to help women, men and kids lose the lard and feel slimmer, healthier and fitter, but ultimitely to lose it to look like themselves.
