Some thoughts on Cals, Food Markets, Ramblings

I wish I had the wisdom and zen-ness ingrained into me, like Dr Meade and a lot of the other people I've recently encountered.  My anxiety can really be a major deterrent in my healing, and in my life, in general.  I sure hope I become more mellow as I adopt this lifestyle...and that's what attracts me so much to this way of eating---it's MORE than a diet...it's a  lifestyle, although, sadly, not many choose to incorporate the other aspects that I feel are vital

Day 4 of Healing Plan....Frustrated

It's ironic how my anxiety runs on an every other day basis.   One day my anxiety is manageable, the next day, it's through the roof and I feel like a hamster on meth trying to study for finals.

Day 3 of Healing Plan

Today was a much better day:  less anxiety, energy a bit more stable, not as much dizziness/orthostatic hypotension, no running around to be had, less emotional lability.

1st and 2nd Day of Healing Plan

I'm trying hard to stay positive and just buckle down and bare through this, but my mind is really messing with me.... and that's the biggest obstacle to overcome: the mind!  By conquering the ego and false scripts, one can overcome anything.  The key (and the most difficult part) is to identify the negative messages, observe them, feel them, and let them pass, knowing that the body is a miraculous machine that has self-healing capabilities.  Easier said than done, right?  This post details my struggle on my 1st and 2nd Day of my Healing Plan.

1st Consultation with Dr. Klein, my new health coach

After giving LFRV a whole-hearted and motivated go for two weeks, I felt I needed extra guidance to ensure that my healing path was on the correct course.  After pouring over nearly every publication on the LFRV lifestyle, as well as picking the brains of forum members from 30BaD, there was just too much conflicting information that make me feel secure in what I was doing.  Despite the fact that I was already experiencing a disappearance of many of the nagging and debilitating health concerns that have been plaguing me for quite some time, the digestive issues were getting worse, and I could not differentiate if these were from the transition of the Anti-Candida Diet to the LFRV diet, a detox/healing reaction, or sensitivities/reactions to certain fruits (bananas?).

Officially 2 weeks of LFRV!

I'm 2 weeks old today!  Yay!
What better way to celebrate my 2 week anniversary than to burn the banana boat?  Well, I sorta did, and sorta didn't.  I told myself I would not have ANY bananas today, but I caved, IDK why.  Even though I hate them, I'm addicted.  Oh well, better nanners than dubies, I guess.  :-)
