4 years ago today I started my health journey by joining Weight Watchers to follow my inspirational friend Lisa. My goal was to lose weight but 5 months in, I was diagnosed with Lyme after being bit by a tick on a hike, which changed my goal to just simply, being well. I transitioned from Weight Watchers to Whole30 & Clean Eating, which changed my life. As always, I thank another inspirational friend Sarah Jo for getting me on that path. I shed 70 lbs and have kept it off by keeping my food choices clean.
I no longer have a dysfunctional relationship with the scale or food. It’s not about being good or bad, it’s about being & feeling well. Most importantly my Lyme symptoms stay diminished. I’m in control of my food, no longer using it for comfort or reward. My weight and blood pressure are regulated. I sleep well and have less fatigue with no sugar cravings.
I’ve learned so much about my food freedom from Melissa Hartwig (BIG SHOUT OUT! Check out all the books: It Starts with Food, Whole30 and Food Freedom Forever).
Thank you so much to my most supportive friends and family who have been on this educational and rewarding road with me every step of the way! The clean eating community is vast and I’ve learned so much over the years, I look forward to what lies ahead in year 5!
If I can do it…anyone can!
