4 weeks into Macrobiotics & Smiling
Hello, I would like to introduce myself. By a stroke of random luck, I invited an aquaintance to a girl party I decided to host. It was random, and done to encourage new insight. She was macro. She began to tell her story, and immediately a light switch turned on. I called her coach the very next day, and am now 4 weeks into the lifestyle. I am absolutely floored at the changes, and very excited to see where this new journey is going to take me.
1) gums no longer bleed, teeth are whiter.
2) BM's do not smell anymore. I actually go to the washroom now!
3) Sleeping like I have never slept before.
4) Extreme mental clarity.
5) Mood eating, and binging has completely stopped. (well still a bit moody sometimes)
6) No desire to get bombed on red wine.
7) Extreme cravings for peace and tranquility.
9) White finger nails that are growing strong and sturdy.
10) Soft skin.
11) No desire for dairy, or meat. Period! Its gone, and there is no mental coaching going on. The thought of it gags me.
12) 15 + years of yoyo weight gain/loss and for 4 weeks I have actually stabilized my weight. It has never happened before.
What do I notice that I never noticed before? My joints are tight, and I have no flexibility. I am craving home time, and want to stay home, and try new recipes. The world of processed plastic food, and instant gratification is not on my agenda and I feel an adversion to it.
The yoyo/binging and extreme lifestyle: I know it has taken its tole on me, and I have to work to celebrate that I have succeeded for 4 weeks in this lifestyle, and be patient.
Financial Benefits: I am saving tons of money. I gave up coffee. $ 25.00 in home grains alone per week. Starbucks average $ 15.00 per week. Atleast $ 40.00 per week in wine. Eating out atleast $ 75.00 per week. It is insane!
Realization: I made some very huge mistakes in my past. I was a victim of "instant gratification mentality" and I participated in a diet craze that certainly paid off. I lost over 120lbs , but gained 1/2 back 3 times. Now, I am 60 lbs heavier than my smallest weight, but thankfully not back to the maximum weight and praying that macro is going to align me like I need to be aligned.
