I usually do this on Monday, but I decided to check. :)

I wanted to do a decent bio but it wouldn't allow all of this text. So I figured out another way to put post it!

I'm a Wife and Mom I have been with my husband since I was 19 years old and I'm going to be 42 this year. I have a wonderful crazy chaotic 11 year old son. We live in Southern Alabama and in the summer we stay in a lot because the heat and bugs. My son suffers from severe allergies and to top that off has allergy induced asthma. So our fun time is fall, winter and some of spring. I Started last year in the beginning of 2014 by cutting sugar out of my life. I was close to 370 as you can tell from my photo, I was so swollen. I lost weight from cutting out that sugar. I noticed a friend on Facebook who kept talking about her life changing events doing Atkins diet. I had heard of it, but never knew what it was. I always followed low-fat, low-cal which never worked for me, ever! I'd still gain! Once I read and researched a ton I decided to do this diet. I found Doctors online like Dr Eric Westman and made friends with him. I started the diet weighing 330.6, that was my first weigh in on June 23 2014 when I started to drop that weight! I am now down to the 260's! Woot! but I have a ways to go and I'm on my way!

I cannot even begin to tell you all of the things that have changed since starting LCHF/Atkins diet I follow 1972 version, with a few of my own things mixed in. I used to have severe high blood pressure took 2 meds 5 times a day! I also had severe GERD I took OTC pills 3 times what was on the box! I had too! I couldn't stand for literally 5 minutes, this was no joke! I couldn't even do dishes without a chair. I have injured both my legs one due to an accident then I broke them both too. So holding all this weight since I was very young, they couldn't handle it and they hurt so bad, as well as my back! I also lived with at least 3 boils a month! OMG that's the worst thing ever! In bad places too, my arm pit, groin, back and on my head! That has completely stopped! That always made me cry because that was something so painful and had to be dressed and managed. My husband he was so good about it and helping me cause some I couldn't even see without a mirror. So for at least 9 months I haven't had any and it's been amazing! I can walk now too! That has been a great feeling, we have a farm next to us that's not fenced in or nothing. I used it to start walking as the weight came off I had this energy and I needed a release, slowly I tried to get to a mile, that turned into 4 miles! I can walk so far now if I had too!

The only thing I can say is this! LCHF has saved my life! My husband has lost around 20 lbs and my son has lost around 17 lbs! They are both much smaller than me, but still had some extra weight, they do eat carbs though too. Just not me! My husband likes to bring home surprises for them. He'll get me chicken wings lol

I look forward to sharing here and I telling all, because I do that occasionally. I hold nothing back! I share all my recipes and stuff I make on my site LCHFDiva.com. I also have a Youtube Channel I am very open I must warn you! lol Find me on Youtube, Facebook, my facebook group.

Thanks for visiting, following and I'm slowly figuring out this site!
