A New Chapter

A little about me ;
I'm turning 53 this August and have some health issues and  have heard so much about healing yourself with food that I'm going to give it my best shot . I have never been a Vegetarian or Vegan before and I'm going to crawl before I can walk and fall along the way but I hope with info and support someday I can get where I want to be.

My crappy health issues;

Fibro
Ulcerative Colitis
IBS
Hashimotos Thyroiditis

What I want to achieve is a healthier me with less pain and more energy and this is my plan;
To remove wheat products "gluten free" this is supposed to help with the pain of fibro that I've
suffered with for 20yrs ( No doctor has helped or even suggested that I change my diet)

Eliminate Dairy and Meat ...well except for a little Romano ( for now anyway ) This will greatly improve my "digestive problems" and greatly reduce my chances for a Bi Pass !

This one is hard.. NO SUGAR! I am your typical junkie.
I'm using Stevia and some natural sugars.

Exersize > this will be done in baby steps because of my pain and hopefully will be able to improve in increments.

This is my journey into finding a healthy life with less pain and maybe drop some unwanted pounds* 

A special shout out to my daughter Alicia (http://www.beyondwillpower.blogspot.com/) who gave me the inspiration and information to get me on my way.


I hope to hear from some of you that can share and give support :)
