My first day!

Postby lenzinett » Mon Jul 06, 2015 6:34 pm

Hi there everyone. Last night I got my McDougal books out made a shopping list went shopping today, put it all away and I feel like now what ;-) Let me tell you why I decided to make a life style change. I am 53 years old & 13 years ago I lost 140 pounds, but it was not a healthy way of eating. What has come of this is one I have gained 40 pounds back and I have no energy & life gets boring eating just meat & veggies all the time not mention all the bad that goes with that life style. Today I weigh 257 pounds, I have DDD in my back & my hips worn flat. I am in pain all the time & I don't want to go down the pain pill road though I do take them at times. Today I cant stand or sit for very long without lots of pain. I have been okayed to have the weight loss surgery. I really don't want to do that. When I was 33 years old I was a vegan for 2.5 years & got pregnant & was told I couldn't cont the vegan life style & by a miracle I was pregnant so I didn't want to anything to hurt my baby. I wish I know what I know today, I wouldn't of listen to them. The only problem I had back then I was hungry all the time & I couldn't get my blood sugar under control I have low blood sugar. I ate to many white rice, torts ect I think that played a role in being hungry. So here I am today hoping I can make this work. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Sorry if I rambled I tend to do that :-D

Welcome! Do anything to avoid that weight loss surgery, been there, done that, some regrets. I just wish I had known about the plant-based diet before. I am just getting started again on this WOE and will be travelling this road with you. Check out the Star McDougallers' stories, they are always an inspiration to me.
