Last time at this weight was at least 30 years ago. I think I could also have said that at -95.
It was maybe four years ago that I read the book Wheat Belly and it really resonated with my own experience.
What Wheat Belly preaches has been the first and only thing that ever worked for me. I started trying to avoid wheat, and also stopped trying to eat low-fat. The result has been gradual weight loss with hardly any feelings of sacrifice. My appetite is better in line with what my body actually needs, and that makes all the difference.
I don't avoid carbs, but the fact of eating more fat (butter on those veggies!) would automatically shift the balance.
The change has been so gradual that people who see me frequently have hardly noticed. Who picks up on the fact that their plus size friend is a pound lighter this month? People who see me less often have been more likely to notice and comment.
I hadn't weighed myself for a couple of weeks so to step on the scale this morning almost brought me to tears. In a good weigh!
