Re: What has surprised you about this way of eating?

Now here is my personal list:
1. I am satisfied after I eat.
2. I get super crazy energy after I eat
3. Clears up my skin (psorisis on hands and feet clear up. Face looks like it glows)
4. Put my High Blood Pressure in check
5. I don't crave Kit Kats and Cheddar Cheese potato chips (You know what I'm talking about ladies.)
6. My depression/emotions stay on track(rarely do I have a poopy day)
7. I don't just sit on my couch and watch t.v all day because I am tired(I play with my 7 month old son)
8. No heartburn, or tummy aches (good bye tums)
9. I like when I go out to eat people stare because I order a weird mix of veggies and meats. (My hubby got embarrassed at first, now he's used to it.)
10. I love knowing I can eat all of the forbidden foods and still lose weight.
11. And I don't know about anyone else but my teeth stay nice and smooth /clean feeling all day (NO SUGAR RESIDUE I call it)

What surprises me the most is that It has changed my entire life, not just my eating habits and weight. By losing the weight, gaining the confidence, going out of my comfort zone and becoming involved with people and activities, I have a life now that I only used to dream and write about.

Also, all of the above reasons that everyone else mentioned. There are just too many POSITIVE things to this weight loss plan to mention.

1. That its actually so easy to eat this way. I have never once felt deprived. The food is fantastic. I'm never hungry. I don't crave.

2. That it WORKS! I've tried so many different WOE's in an attempt to get healthy, and none of them worked until now.

3. All my stomach problems went away. Whereas before, everything I ate made me sick, now I can eat whatever I want and am always totally fine!

Those were the big surprises, I think.

Prime Minister Thatcher was granted the stus of "Honourary Man", but I don't think we could do that for you Cleo, and I don't think you would want it.
