So Here I Am - Beginning My Health Quest
This is Janne from Janne's Jabberwocky! I am here to join Kris's weight loss challenge.
A bit about me:
I am the home-educating mother of nine. When I was married 15 years ago, I weighed 98 pounds and was a size three. NOT ANYMORE. After having nine children (the last eight in just over 10 years), I have...expanded. I'm thin on the inside -- but not on the out.
Although I am quite "fluffy", I am really going to change to a healthier lifestyle for my health, not my waistline. In fact, I'm not really going to "diet", but rather change my lifestyle to include healthier eating habits.
I am nursing a four month old baby, so counting calories is not the way to go.
When my now nine-year-old son was born I became very ill and never really recovered. Almost two years after his birth, after having gone to many specialists, I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Because of my pregnancies and breastfeeding, I won't take medication for my illness, relying instead on natural remedies.
Having done quite a bit of research over the years, I think I have found the answer to my problem...eliminating yeast. Yeast overgrowth can cause nearly all of the symptoms of both fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis!
About a year and a half ago, I began the Maker's Diet, along with the Garden of Life supplements and probiotics. I felt like a brand new person! I could bend over and touch the ground for the first time in eight years without pain!
Unfortunately, my eating habits soon drifted back to their original sad state, and I found myself in pain and illness once again.
2006 is a New Year...
...and I plan to start off on the right foot. I will be starting back on the Maker's Diet on January 1st. I need all of you fine ladies to help keep me accountable :)
Over the next few days I will plan and post my goals...and my current stats.

I started the Maker's Diet the day after Thanksgiving, but fell off the wagon by Christmas. I was going to start over today, but I've been sick all day (and last night) from all the JUNK I've eaten over the last 2 days. Maybe I should wait until January 1st and start again right along with you! It's easier knowing you're not the only one doing it.
I did the Maker's Diet for the first time last January and quickly failed. This last time was much easier. I'm sure this time will be even easier still!
Keep us posted on how you're doing.

How wonderful that you added me to your friends list so I could come on over and take a lookie at your site. After I read thyis post I realized we have sooooo much in common regarding our struggles with illness and weight. It will be great to have some accountability buddies to help each other through this time of getting healthy and changing our lifestyles. I highly recommend the PCOS Diet Book, because it has literally changed the way I think about food. WOW! We'll have to exchange info when we come across it. I have the Maker's Diet book, but the diet seemed really complicated and the supplements costly. I am so glad to hear that it worked for you and want to encourage you to keep on if it works.
Looking forward to getting to know you,
<>< Kelly |
