Mitsue Ferguson Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi everyone! I have been enjoying everyone's stories and I hope this doesn't sound bad, but I sure am glad I am not alone! Of course, when I read the book, I thought someone had been spying on me and had written about it. I have struggled with my weight for soooo long, gaining 30 pounds, losing 20, gaining 50, losing 60, gaining....... well, you get the picture. I always lost the best on low carb, but got so bored with it. I knew deep down that I had trouble with breads, sweets, junk food and even artificial sweeteners, but I would always go back to eating them and found myself getting bigger, slower and more sleep deprived. I am a dialysis nurse. I ask my patients everyday to make better choices, while I continue to make really bad ones. I have tried every diet plan out there and always end up heavier in body and in heart. But after reading It Starts With Food,and understanding that the inflammatory processes I feel in my body is directly related to my food choices (something I felt was happening, but thought people would think I was crazy), I feel some hope! So far, I have been able to stay on track with the food choices, but the sleep deprivation is crazy! Or making me crazy. But since I see that others are experiencing the same thing, I will PRESS ON! Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 HI Mistue, hope your first day is going well. My first day too. I also have been very sleep deprived, looking forward to some normal sleeping patterns kicking in. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
