A Bit About My Primal Journey

First of all, This blog is for me. I would be more than ecstatic if it were to help someone else, but it is for me, so I can keep record in my own way of my journey. My journey to be the "Me" that I know is somewhere inside my horrible, disgusting, obese body.

I don't even know why my wonderful, sweet, and most loving soul mate husband loves me. I don't know why my beautiful 6 year old Son doesn't run away from me because I am so fat. I don't know how either one of them can even bear to look at me when I can barely look in the mirror at myself. These are the things I think to myself every single day.
The answer is simple: They love me....The me that's in there, not the me that is on the outside.
I am going to make the Outside Me, just as beautiful as the Me that's been lost for years now....and I am going to do it for ME. My Husband and Son will love me no matter what I look like, or how fat I am, I won't.

Here are my Major Challenges, besides being a total Carb Addict:

1. I have Degenerative Disc Disease with the lower back disc at L4/L5 gone. Buldging disc at C5/C6 in my neck.
2. I am Type 2 Diabetic.
3. I have Fibromyalgea, High Blood Pressure, a Fatty Liver, PCOS, Acid Reflux, constant Chronic Pain, and of course I am Obese.

There are a few other things I could list but I don't want to type them all out.

Anyway, There is very little I can do as far as exercise because of my DDD. If I can avoid any type of back or neck surgery by not doing what I am not supposed to do, you got it, I am not doing it. I don't ever want to have back surgery or neck surgery. I watched my Mom go through both of them. No Way. Not unless I get to a point where I cannot move.

So, Last June I started a Primal Eating Plan. I LOVED it! Even though I only stuck with it for a month and a half, I felt so much better. This is what I am going back to, for the rest of my life. Within that small amount of time, I lost 28 lbs. 28 lbs in about 45 days!!! That was with no exercising, except the occasional house cleaning duties that I can do...and that is not much.
I had a stumble and began old eating habits again and then completely slipped out of Primal. I have only gained back 7 of those pounds, so I am not too upset at that. However, I wish I would have stuck with it, I could have lost so much more weight and been where I want to be right now. Healthier, Lighter, and ME!

So, if you are still reading this, and not bored to death yet, I will continue to update! ...for Me!

I started my new Primal on January 30th, 2013. I have lost 3 lbs! Here we go!
