Day 1

Wow! Another year, another New Year's resolution!

A little background information about myself. I'm a 33 year old happily married south Louisiana girl with PCOS. Needless to say I'm not one of the lucky thin "cysters". I have been over weight almost my entire life and do not know what a day is like without having pain from carrying such a heavy burden. This past year I finally went on too many medications to regulate all the side effects and am need of a drastic change in my lifestyle. I just can't see living the rest of my life popping pills. As for dieting, I've been there and done it all...sometimes even have gotten lovely t-shirts (extra large that don't fit mind you).

I have been looking into going Primal or Paleo for about 4 months now. To me this just makes sense! I have this gut feeling (or so the constant bloated feeling tells me) that I'm just killing myself with the amount of junk that I consume. So here I begin, hopeful to avoid the Carb flu. Ever hopeful that my life will be longer. Constant vigilance!

So easy to say on day 1. My first goal (of the so many I will be setting this year) is to fit into my size 22 jeans. I used to love those jeans! No stretchy material in them. No give, no take. Oh jeans...how I have missed thee!
