Blair

function get_style1020 () { return "none"; } function end1020_ () { document.getElementById('paddle1020').style.display = get_style1020(); } Dear Gillian,My name is Blair, born and bred in South Africa. My mother has a passion for cooking and so do I.

Our home has always been a warm and inviting. We plan what to cook as and when we have guests and even if there was no one coming to join us for lunch or dinner, will still prepare all this delicious and tasty food.

Presentation is one of the things my Mom and I love most. Food must always look good on the plate, even if you only just cooking for one while the rest of the family is away etc. When I was 8yrs of age, my Mom signed me up with the arts and culture school, where I took my dancing lessons and drama. I love and enjoyed what I was doing and excelled very well!

To me weight has always been an issue because I did not want to gain any weight as dancer which was fair enough. Because I always wanted to stay trim and thin. I would eat and eat until I made myself sick. I use to look forward to food because I knew that at the end of the day I would drink lots of milk, let it settle in my tummy for a while and then go to the toilet to take it all out. I even started eating everything with a glass of milk on the side to make sure that the way the food went down also comes out easily without hurting the pain I use to feel in my heart or chest.

I made myself sick from the age of 15yrs until I was 29yrs old. Everything that one does to them does pay off eventually. Later in the years I started reacting every time I eat anything that has dairy (guess it’s from the milk I was abusing earlier in the years when I was eating and drinking milk to help me vomit). I started having some strange headaches, ear infection that would ache, vision problems, my menstrual came to a stop still for about 2yrs.

I went to see the Gynecologist who examined me and put me on some drugs which were horrendously expensive and I did not have the medical at the time. The worse was the dizziness from the strange headaches and earaches. Then went to see the Neurologist, Neurosurgeon, E&NT and the entire specialist I could think off. I went through CAT scan’s and all other scans I could think off and every time it was frighten because my pains were just getting worse by the day. I lived with one of the strangest headaches which were indescribable. I would feel something moving through my scalp in a rotation, I have to say it was very abnormal and uncomfortable. The neurosurgeon told me that I needed to go for surgery since my perpetuity gland was abnormal and the size of it was bigger than it should be. I had panics, when everyone was sleeping I use to pray thinking that I would not wake up to see the next day. In the morning, I would say OH, THANK GOD. I’m still alive. Basically I went through a lot. To an extend that my family called me names and said I like to pretend as though I’m sick when I’m not. The pain was getting worse to an extend that I have written a letter to my family and gave it to my boyfriend at the time. I asked him to give it to my family in case I die while sleeping since I thought I would never see the next day with the headaches and ear infection I had. Throughout this I ended up living on tablets from the E&NT everyday of my life. The pain from my ear would feel better and when I stop taking tablets it would just go back to normal. The headache was always there. No one new what I was going through at all. To cut the long story short, Then Came An Angel In My Life – Gillian Mckeith.

A friend of mine from SA has two daughters who live in the UK. One of them bought my friend one of your book called You Are What You Eat. My friend then told me about it. Lent it to me to view. I read the book. Put it away without thinking of anything. After three weeks, I read the book page by page and all what you have written started to sink in a bit.

After a week I did the same again, reading the book page by page. Eventually my eyes realized what was in the writing and why it was important fro us to take care of ourselves body and lifestyle. At the time I was now married. I started changing my eating habits. My complete shopping list started changing. I have to say because of the pain I have suffered over the years I had to make it easy for me and follow your rules. Which I did very well and I’m proud to say! Then I bought You Are What You Eat book recipe book. My entire diet changed even more. Went hunting for health-shops. I carried your books with me everywhere I went. Friends, family & colleagues laughed at me a lot. Told me I ate like a rabbit. My husband told me I was eating shit! I did not care cause I knew what I was doing. Slowly, slowly, I started feeling the change in my body. My ear, headaches, menstrual and pains, joints pains, tension, stress, short temper, depression, skin, hair, nails, eyes, the list is endless… I felt the difference. My personality changed, energy, warm, friendliness, calmness and I’m glowing from the inside out now!

Gillian, I never believed in Angels before in my life. This only changed when I chose to have your books as my best friends than any thing that’s around me. You are my angel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have changed and saved me from what i thought it was death. I’m proud to call you my best friend! Please share this story with other people. Most importantly is that should you vist south africa one day. I would personally like to meet you and thanks you in person. You have no idead what you have done to me……….it’s absolytely undescribable.

I know now, that I will age very well and even have a far lees frustrating menopause later when I reach that stage. Tried to tell my friend about your books but none of them are interested because they don’t want to give it a chance. They think I’m talking a crazy language and yet they are going through different pains and strange feelings as they do not know how what they eat affects their bodies and their lifestyle. You should see my groceries in my cupboards and what’s inside my fridge……..it’s your teaching and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gillian, I love you very much! “You are my angel and no one will ever take your space”.

Thanks
