allergies and success, its a beginning

So I have never started a group before. But I thought about how we need to discuss what it feels like to be overweight with no judgement. I cannot find stories or how to over come what it is like. For me for example, I am the largest woman in the family. For years, I have always felt different and not like the rest, size, what I eat -- how I am a busy work modern day mother, grazing as I cook dinner as I missed lunch to get home on time. Eat dinner, only to want to continue to eat. Or conversely be uptight and anxious and want to stuff my face until I cant stand it any longer.

Once I determined the type of eater I am, I have been a bit more successful. What I haven't had is putting all the pieces together. For the first time in my life, I finally feel like I got the formula correct for me.

The doctor, the weight loss coach, the trainer and variety other supports - would shake their head and think I was cheating or miss doing something. I have been an enigma all my life and I went on a mission to see what I could do about it.

I think watching my friend go through gastric bypass was the final straw for me and that was only one week ago. I would like to document my journey and weight loss and see where it gets me. Since figuring out all my little weird things, I have read as many books about food process and what does what and I still don't quite get it all. But I am more aware of how little traces of things in the day where affecting my scale.

This is so new and I am extremely excited as it is like it is melting off me, since I always knew I wasn't cheating and months and months of hard work and only 5 or 6 pound loss. I think my food sensitivities play a huge part and I didn't pay attention that they were counter productive. I just simply thought, it wasn't something I should have. My largest surprise was Dairy, I couldn't drink a glass of milk or cereal but had no problems with cheese or sour cream. However since eliminating that instead of lightly incorporating and trying to do smoothies which are toxic to me. I simply cut it all out.

If it isn't a fresh veggies, basic apple, orange or banana along with protein and absolutely no condiment. Nothing processed and I feel the best I ever had. It took a few weeks to go through the wheat withdrawal as wheat stimulates just like an opiate addiction.

So share your journey, I would be interested in the read. Thanks for reading me
