Starting my journey to regain my health

Postby Jwelsh104 » Fri Sep 15, 2017 11:48 am

So, after years of dabbling in the McDougall way of eating, I dived in head first the beginning of August. I started a blog to help with my personal accountability and to chronicle my journey back to health, as well as, hopefully, be of encouragement to others who are on the same path. It is so encouraging to see all the Star McDougaller’s stories of success, and I hope to be one someday. Until then, if you are interested, I would love to have anyone check out my blog and leave any feedback or comments you may have. There is no advertising or affiliate links for which I get any kickbacks. I do link to this website, Forks Over Knives and other low fat vegan, WFPB sites as they pertain to my experience and journey and I welcome you to leave any links of the same sort in the comments section of the blog. Thanks! Here’s the link: https://thebeginninghasbegun.blogspot.com/

Thanks for your kinds words and encouragement. I am feeling somewhat discouraged this morning as my blood sugar has skyrocketed again. I believe, due to a new anti-inflammatory that I am on, Meloxicam ... so I'm back on Glipizide as well as Metformin. I'd like to quit the anti-inflammatory, but pain is still so severe. I have not deviated from a low fat vegan diet for seven weeks now, but my inflammation/pain has not lessened much, if at all. Uh oh ... I feel a pity party coming on ...

Again, thanks for the encouragement ... I greatly needed it .

It would probably be of great benefit if you could attend Dr. McDougall's Ten Day Program in December.
