Finally my Story Female 130lbs Lost with LOTS of Pics

To all:

I thank you for reading my story and finding some motivation in it. Again I am getting a ton of questions off the board and hope that a few posts will satisfy those lingering questions and bits of information I failed to mention in my original post. First of all, I now feel amazing. Before the weight loss I was lazy. I did not want to get up in the morning. I rarely ate for health. I just ate because it was good or because I thought I was hungry. I often fell subject to food pushers. I had no motivation and no desire to do anything to change my life/habits. It was not until my son was born that I really started to make any changes. What I did/ate became a direct reflection of my son's health. I actually saw it in my husband first. Fried food is horrible. It makes you feel horrible inside and out.

When my son started to eat food (non-breast milk) I would be sure that would have time to process his food. I made no excuses. He was eating whole food and loved it. Why couldn't I?

The main reason I have almost completely eliminated processed food now is not because of an allergy or a weight loss ploy; it's simply because they make me feel icky. Oh don't get me wrong, they taste so great at the time, it's later that I feel and look icky. I am not carb free. That is NUTS. Fruits have carbs, veggies have carbs. I reduced processed carbs. Bread, pasta, chips, snack foods, crackers, bars, alcohol.

I hope I addressed most of your questions and concerns. Please feel free to ask more! I will try to get back to you as soon as I can!
