33 days and counting.....

As I reflex back on the last 10 years of my life....I describe myself as being trapped in a "fat suit."

Sure, it has been lovely for the most part! Sometimes I didn't mind as much as other time.... but what REALLY got me to that point?

Stress, four births, ups and downs of life, emotional eating, dare I say gluttony???

I have tried just about every diet on the market....losing 10-15 lbs and then gave up.

Each time praying God would give me strength to " DO THIS!"

With the age of 35 approaching, and lurking health issues, I thought it HIGH TIME to figure out a SOLUTION to my MADNESS!

SO.....wanting to TOTALLY change our families eating habits for some time now....
I took the BIG PLUNGE and went FULL STEAM AHEAD!
*yes, I said "Totally" again!:)

NO WHITE SUGAR? NO FLOUR? NO BROWN SUGAR?

How was I to bake again? 
These were my ponders as I considered what I was getting myself and family into.

Then there was the lists of "WEIRD" new ingredients that I had to find and use to be successful at this new journey!

Xanthan gum, psyllim husk powder???? They sound like something I should be applying to my body as an ointment powders! LOL

I LOVE how God uses others to bring about GOOD CHANGE in our lives.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
                                                                                   Hebrews 10:24

Thanking God today for many friends who have encouraged and pointed me and my family in the right direction.

 The direction of healthy eating.

Maria Emmerich as been my solution.

She doesn't offer any new shake mix you drink all day to get skinny....or a quick and easy pill.
What she does offer is....IN MY EYES.....is...
A lifestyle change of no processed foods, eating real foods that will bring about REAL results of healing, energy, freedom from aliments, clarity of the mind, and a new found enjoyment for ENJOYING the foods you eat.

Seeing the results is just an added bonus.:)

This journey may be long....but I am enjoying the experience.

So today....just some random thoughts on this new road to a NEW ME!

* Guess I will have to find a new home for my many "PETS!" hee hee hee.
