How has eating paleo/primal helped you? Any non scale victories?

    My skinny jeans are not so skinny anymore, which is a great NSV and indicator that I'm on the right track, even though the scale doesn't move as often as I would like.

    As with GrokRockStar (nice name!), my pants are falling off. People keep telling me I look ridiculous because my clothes are so baggy, but I keep putting off buying new ones. The biggest NSV for me would be not having my life revolve around food anymore. If I miss a meal, either by accident or on purpose, life goes on and I still feel great. No more up and down rollercoaster throughout the day. I'm never "starving" and feeling like I HAVE to eat. I love that.... creates a feeling of freedom.

    Yes to that!!! Congrats on your pants falling off (if it isn't embarrassing you of course!)

    I’m down a jeans size! My mood has been more stable too and I’m feeling less tired and cranky (on my better paleo days especially).

    Another one with jeans that I have to wear belts with, on a tighter notch. My watchstrap needs tightening up too

    Awesome! In January I got so angry at my teenage daughter when she took a belt of mine and punched a hole in it to make it smaller for her (who borrows stuff and alters it?!). Now this week I’m laughing because that notch is not even making my belt tight enough. Gotta keep at it here! The belly is going but the booty remains...
