quotidianlight Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I lived a low carb paleo lifestyle losing 50 lbs and keeping it off for two years before I crashed and burned. A couple weeks after a ran my first ultra marathon in fell off my chair at work and slammed by foot into a metal box. The injury developed into a neuroma and at this point it is scarred. I had to quit running and cross fit after repeated attempts to return once my foot felt a tad better. Since I didn't have insurance or cash I got really depressed. I emotional eating and eating disorder relapse for months but finished failing when my mom died. I know distance running isn't physically health but it's my heart and soul... It's who I am. I get surgery on Oct 12 and my body is sick. Really sick. Too sick to heal well. I want to run again so I started my whole 30 yesterday at 5:00 pm. Because of hormonal disturbance, the nerve damage in my foot, food allergies and asthma I am using the auto immune protocol and i'm going to need a lot of support. I have just shy of 100lbs to lose but my real goal is to run again. Btw, I'm on my phone so please excuse any typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quotidianlight Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks. I know it will reverse the damage I've done since I was paleo in the past but this is hard for me psychologically. I've been trying to get back to paleo for two years but I guess having a surgery date and knowing how much better i'll heal was just what I needed. Or perhaps it's cause I no longer feel helpless. Regardless I know. I'll stick this time cause I'm here and I don't reach out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
