I'm so very excited to share my Paleo weight loss journey with all of you.
I have been around the block and back 10 times over trying to lose weight. Once I hit 40, it was all downhill from there. Not only did it become impossible to lose weight, I was GAINING weight at a VERY fast pace!
Anyway... I had completely given up on the whole weight loss thing. I basically convinced myself that I was going to just keep gaining weight and become a miserable human being :) I was so sick and tired of trying the latest fads and getting absolutely nowhere!
Enter my sister...
My sister had been on the Paleo diet for quite some time and while I was witness to her amazing results, I never allowed her to convince me to try it. I mean, why would I have success with the Paleo diet when I had never had success with any other diet out there? So, I completely ignored her plea for me to give it a shot.
About a year later, my family and I went to Orlando and my daughter took a video of me (unknowingly, of course). Just like every single photo of me, I made sure it was downloaded off of my phone / camera and placed on a thumb drive for safe-keeping. Now, why I thought hiding those videos / photos would keep people from seeing what I truly looked like is beyond me. Instinct, right? Well, it didn't work. I couldn't stop thinking about that ONE video. It was a video of me walking away from the camera. It was just plain horrible! I think the reason this particular video hit me so hard is due to the fact that I had a first-hand view of not only how large I truly was but the way it affected my posture and the way I was walking. You could just see that it was taking a lot of effort for me to get from point A to point B. So... I called my sister...
"Alright Janine... I'm ready. Exactly what is Paleo diet and what are the wonderful, nasty Paleo diet foods I can eat"? She explained the complete Paleo weight loss program and debriefed me on some of the foods I could have. And that, my friends, is where my journey began.
