I've decided I'm going to post numbers on my weight loss. In January I weighed 208 pounds. Through weight watchers, I was able to get down to 202. My weight hadn't been below 200 in a very long time. In May, my weight was about 206. My Nurse Practitioner told me to stop eating wheat and dairy, and ordered food sensitivity testing. I stopped eating wheat and dairy. The testing was delayed by my broken arm, but I had it in June. It showed I had a number of sensitivities, including to many common food additives and preservatives. I began avoiding the foods I was most sensitive to, but delayed the start of the very drastic diet until we returned from our camping. I officially started the diet on July 20. As of today, I weigh 185 pounds. I suspect I haven't weighed that little for over 25 years. During those 25 years, I tried a variety of diets: weight watchers, atkins....
I've cut back on blood pressure medication. My blood sugar is lower. I'm not hungry. I'm in less pain. Here is a link to the testing I had done: http://www.nowleap.com/
Today I'm venturing into a restaurant for the first time as I meet with the local clergy group for breakfast. I don't anticipate being able to eat anything. I'll drink ice tea and enjoy the company. I won't be tempted. In fact, I'm more concerned I'll find the food and smells repulsive. It's another milestone.
