As weeks went by, I had dramatically less pain, there was a lot less of me(I've lost about 15 lbs) and I'm a lot less tired! I'm much more focused and a much better, more patient mother. When you don't feel crappy all the time, your more motivated to get up, go for a walk, build train tracks with your babies, ride bikes, play hide-and-seek, and read books. This change for me was HUGE! Previously, I may have eaten more candy and drank more soda than anyone in the county..quite possibly the state! It is still quite shocking to those close to me that I just stopped. that easy! Don't get me wrong..some days i just need a 'Laffy Taffy' or a drink of soda, and I have one and that's no biggie. One of my biggest rules is: I can drink whatever I want, if I have had AT LEAST 100 oz. of water and all my juice. Now I'm to the point where, if I go to a movie I can get a box of frozen 'Jr. Mints' and just eat a few, not the entire box during the previews like before!
I read that there is some things we are taking into our bodies, that our stomach doesn't even recognize as food. When we eat those things, it puts all of our organs into over-drive trying to decide what to do with it. If our immune system is called to help digest food, it isn't fighting sicknesses, or Rheumatoid Anti-bodies, or anything else it is suppose to be fighting. Trans-fats are some of these things our bodies view as non food items, we should avoid them at all costs.
This is something ANYONE can do if I can! Rather than slowly cutting out things..I would suggest doing it all at once..give it a try for at least 2 or 3 weeks...you will feel better, it's impossible not too. Just make a goal and stick to it, there is really NOTHING to lose by eating healthy and taking care of your body, and everything to gain!
