I ordered my a/s & cc on the 9th of dec & received it on the 13th... pretty good I would say. I am pumped to get started but also a little aprehensive!! Obviously we are all united here for the same reason, so I am sure you can appreciate the level of desire I have for this product to work (all with all the hard work & healthy eating I contribute).
I am 27yrs young, but feel about 80 sometimes & have a fair amount of fat to shed. I am utterly disgusted with where I am right now & it is affecting my life in everyway possible. I was a dancer growing up, which created some of the most wonderful experiences but also provided some severe body issues. At 15 I was getting a costume made & I remember being referred to as "the big girl who needed a lot more material to cover" & that was one of the nicest things people said to me. Funny thing is I was 5'7 & under 60kgs!!!! I thought I was the most grotesque thing to grace (or elephant thump) along the stage.
This combined with the trauma I have experienced over the last 6yrs (my boyfriend of 6yrs suicided, my mum was diagnosed with skin cancer & my dad more recently with colon cancer). I haven't had much time to myself & July last yr gave up work to look after my dad & started a masters degree on the side. I decided that I liked my old career prospects too much, so recently dropped out of my uni course & I have great ambition to get into a certain field within my profession. However, I am absolutely terrified to give it a go. I work in the health field & my mum tells me I won't be hired if I am more than 20% overweight (which I am) & the area I want to get into will involve working with athletes & some health promotion type stuff & I would be a hypocrit not to practice what I preach!!!! But I am a driven & ambitious with a bit of perfectionism on the side, so I will do this & I will do it well (I hope!!) I have a lot riding on it.
Anyway this is a snap shot of how I developed a weight / eating addiction problem & why I purchased the product. Sorry to ramble - I am a woman of few spoken words but give me a keyboard & I will type an essay. Don't worry I won't unleash the typing devil everytime I am on here :)

Sorry to hear about your problems, I think the best thing for you to do is to do something positive like losing weight. If you lose the weight it will make the rest of your problems a lot easier to handle.
I have been on the acai slim diet since Sept and have lost 12 kilos. I find having a progress page helpful. I find weighing in every week then posting it on here is good for motivation and everyone on here is very encouraging and we'll try and help all we can.
Good Luck.
