Go Jackie!!

I know when I slip up on my diet I feel it. It is amazing to me that food has

such an affect on our bodies. I would of never thought that it would make such

a huge difference in my life. Jackie, any support you need to stay on this

diet....I will be there for you. It is hard at times, especially if you have a

family that eats stuff like (cookies, candy, chips, etc). But if you just

imagine all of those kinds of items as poision it helps a lot. In addition to

the change in diet it was also important for me to begin a good excercise

program. At first all I could do is walk. But now I do stairsteppers for 45

minutes each day (and I am now up to 4 on the resistance), plus 15 minutes of

reps with weights (10 lbs), and stretching. Some days (when I have slipped on

my diet) the excercise will actually take away the pain I get in my legs, knees

and hips.

Good luck jackie...... You can do it!!

********************

I'm going to start this today, but will be including a few protiens.

It's time for me to cut out all the processed foods, sugar, flour

etc.

I feel better when I do this and the last times I did,and stopped

hurting so bad, I started slipping back into my old ways of eating

now I'm a fibro mess again. My hip feels like there is a steak knife

in it right now and I am so tired I wouldn't be able to fight my way

out of a wet paper bag. I have things I need to get done too.

Thanks for the reminder, Ill post with updates Anyone else want to

join me in going to a more natural diet if not the completely veg

diet?

If so feel free to say hello on yahoo messenger. I could use some raw

veggie meal ideas. Fruits I am good at lol
