This is my first post. I have to say, if it hadn't been for my low carb diet, I never would have created a blog. I was innately fearful of all kind of things--failure being one. Since I've switched to low carb, I found all the bravery inside that I never knew existed! It's so exciting.
I think better, I can write better, and my body feels about a zillion (lots of zeros in that!) times better. The idea was never for life to be perfect, but to be able to examine what I had been hiding all along. Now it's like a highway of ideas are all flowing through me and it's a wonderful feeling!
I can't express enough gratitude for how open my life has become. I used to dream about things and then tuck them away in what I thought was safety. But now that I am no longer consuming sugar, those ideas flow out of me. I realize that I can manage life so much better when I let them flow. Then I can act, and make improvements.
This is not even delving into all the wonderful effects of being on a low-carb diet. I'm feeling sorry that I recently gave away a lot of great clothes this year because I felt they were too small. (Not that I was growing too big. Yes, that's it--the clothes magically shrunk!) Oh well--that just means I can do some shopping. (You wouldn't believe what great things you can find at the GoodWill. You have to look, but ya just can't beat $3.49 for some fancy-pants shirt.)
Life is full of wonder now that all my attention isn't going to my sugar addiction. It's no wonder I was tired all the time! Between the addictive qualities and the harm it was doing to my brain and body (another post), I had to work twice as hard just to function.
I welcome your input, and thanks for being here!
Yours truly,
Caroline
