It's been about a year since I've posted anything...shame on me. Unfortunately in that year I've gained back all of the weight I lost during the Candida cleanse. I feel gross and as ungoddess-like as I could right now, and am not in a very good place (mentally or physically). I've joined a community called Nerd Fitness, and hope through blogging about my experiences with a Paleo Lifestyle, strength training, and fitness in general and participating in the NF forums I will actually stick to it. I need support from those who are on the same journey as I am.
So...here it goes. I'm a 31 year-old teacher. I have tried several different diets and "weight loss" solutions as you can see by my earlier posts. I have not maintained weight loss in 9 years and have steadily gained weight. I know part of my weight gain is having 2 kids in that time, but I believe most of it has to do with being an emotional eater. I eat when I'm angry, bored, and sad. I've found food to be a comfort in those times, although I always feel guilty afterward. I am glad to have realized this in the last few months, and hope to change my relationship with food during this new leg of my journey.
In this blog, as I've mentioned before, I'll be talking about my experiences through my weight loss journey. I'll be sharing recipes I try and love, book reviews, successes, failures (we all know there will be some), and how I'm managing all of this with a family. My goal is to post at least once per week, and go from there.
Please join me on this journey to find my inner goddess.
