In the best of health or condition

{or a 1996 compilation album by The Psychedelic Furs :}

For me it was 'watch' what I ate or else continue to feel achy, bloaty and have allergic crisises as it was put. My journey began when I was tested and found out I was sensitive to flour, soy, potatoes, dairy & eggs. I needed to eliminate as much of these from my diet as possible. So I started. Feeling overwhelmed at times, but realizing I really did feel better helped with my commitment. Besides when I cheated at first I realized how crappy that stuff made me feel because my body was detoxing at a high rate. Bottom-line once I began 'watching' what I ate, I started feeling much better on all levels, even ones I hadn't realized.

That was 2.5 years ago, since then I have released 22 pounds (released because I let it go, I didn't lose it like lost keys :), I also don't have the stomach pain and bloat like I use too and I feel overall much healthier and have more energy. By changing the food I put in my mouth, detoxing my body, taking whole food herbs, and have addressed my environmental allergies I am the healthiest I have ever been. And yes, I cheat, like now during the holidays, and sometimes I pay for it, depends on how stressed my body is. So there's my intro in a nutshell. Lots more to tell and if you're a regular reader I'm guessing you'll get to know more of my story as time goes on.

I also encourage you to share your stories and to add tips, places and food choices that you have found supported your healthful lifestyle...even share the things that have not supported your healthful lifestyle. Whatever you choose!
