A New Way of Eating...

I had a friend share with me this book during one of our morning walks.  It was during a usual conversation about how frustrated I was with my weight.  I have been struggling my whole life.  I have tried everything (more about that later).  However nothing seemed to work.  I was starting to believe that I had no willpower, and that I was destined to struggle and that I would never be able to understand my body.  So being the good friend she was she offered advice in a loving way – being a typical person I told her “no thank you”.  I was sure that I could do it.  I had heard everything.  I would figure it out and keep plugging along.  After a while I realized that there were times in my life when people had asked for advice and I feel like I had something that would help.  But alas, being human we all want to just try doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result, we don’t want to change anything (that my friends is the definition of insanity…)  So, I decided to read her book out of courtesy to her.  Well, hold on my friends… this book has become a life saver.  I was able to drop 15 lbs so far and I have more energy than is normal.  Some of my disorders about my relationship with food are slipping away… so here is the book.  I want to share it.  I want to tell everyone about it.  It makes so much sense, I have been slowly learning all of these things over the last few years or a lifetime but now here it is in a book- it makes it easy to do it makes it easy to pass on.  When you first read it you think wow – she is taking everything out of my diet..

However I feel exactly the opposite, I now feel like I have more options – by taking out the seven foods she list – she has opened up a whole new world.  On this blog right now, I want to share with you some practical ideas on how to integrate these things into your own life for you and for your family.  So far everyone that I have shared it with has had results like weight loss and feeling better.  I hope to share your story as well.  

This is a new blog but if you want more ideas I have a facebook group called “shannonmymom” and that is where we have been uploading ideas and recipes.  If you ask to join I will add you.  This has become a big family and community project.  I want you to be part of the revolution.

Here we go…
