HEALTHWISE....

At 304 pounds,I had acid reflux soooooooooo bad that I would wake up at night and it seemed the entire contents of my stomach were almost up in my mouth. It was horrible. One week after I started the low-fat style of eating, I no longer had it. I'm not kidding. It was so amazing to go from miserable every night and going to bed dreading what was going to happen to just sleeping with no problems! I LIVED ON ROLAIDS FOR ABOUT 14 YEARS!I have not needed even one in over 7 months.Wait...I lied. I did need a Rolaids once a few months back,but I'll tell you about that in another post. That was a lesson learned!

Another benefit is that my feet,legs and knees feel better. My feet used to hurt so bad that I dreaded walking anywhere.They are so much better. I actually walk faster than some people when I go shopping now. ;-)

Now this is a big plus...I used wear size 12 shoes. I now have some that are 11's. Ok...ok...so I got my dad's feet. Enough on that subject.

I can shave my legs again! I'm very nearsighted and I couldn't bend over far enough to see my legs good so I ended up striped! It only took about 50 pounds to get close enough. Ha! No more velcro legs!!!

When I laid on my back, I had to have my head higher because it made it easier to breathe. No longer a problem!

I just feel better in general.

Oh....I must include one drawback that I've discovered in the last couple of weeks. Due to the lack of head fat, I'm now starting to get sinus headaches again. I think the fat insulated the sinuses(my theory), but I don't care. That's what they make ibuprofen for!
