Three Months FREE!


We are 3 months into being FREE! That is, gluten, sugar, dairy free.

We've noticed quite a few changes. 

Weight loss being the most noticeable. I've dropped about 30lbs (50 - 60 since the photo on the left was taken). I went from a 24 Womens, 3x (fitting tight) to 18, 1X (fitting loose). And no, I don't mind being open about my size, mostly cause I don't plan on staying here. I actually purchased a L shirt for my son's football games next year, hoping it will be too big. 

We look younger. It's amazing what an increase in water, fresh veggies, organic, non-GMO foods can do for your body! Not to mention the lack of alcohol, soda and caffeine.

We feel great! Every 3lbs lost is 10lbs off your knees! That's over 100lbs off my knees! I have no swelling in my hands, knees, ankles or feet. I'm off my blood pressure medication. We are off all over the counter and perscription drugs. We opt for whole health supplements if we have an ailment or the use of oils. 

In hopes of not offending anyone, I'd like to share my emotional changes. Self realization is huge!

Part of the reason I've held onto the weight is because I'd rather not be raped again or an attempted kidnapping again (I know I'm an adult, but this is truth in feelings). You see, I always felt if I was fat, no one would want me and I'd be "safe." I've changed my way of thinking. I now want my body lean and strong so I can defend myself! The mind plays crazy games with me. Not anymore!

I also, and this is the part where I dont want to hurt others, don't want to be the fattest mom in the room. I have been, for years. That, the "fat mom." No one actually called me that to my face, but I did. Or the "fat sister." Or the "fat friend." Or the "fat wife." I just don't.  I just want to be me. A smaller me, but still me.

Looking forward to the next three months in this journey. Me working on the outside, while I let God continue working on my inside.
