Class #171 – The Burden Of Thin

I now have completed month four and I'm going strong. Taking it one day at a time! I've lost over 40 lbs. Reduced my blood pressure medicine and eliminated the need for cholesterol medicine completely. I love all the great recipes I've tried. The PD-Ed lessons are such a great resource. And the support from Protective Diet Living is amazing! The first 30 days was challenging at times and I haven't been perfect but I feel like I've found a lifestyle that is going to work for me and break that awful dieting cycle! I'm not hungry. I get to eat so many wonderful foods without worrying or feeling deprived. It almost feels like cheating sometimes. I feel great and I'm only a few pounds from my previous "goal weight". I'm excited to see what my optimal healthy weight will be with out worrying about maintenance

Finding PD was that greatest blessing of my life. Julie’s classes fed me never-ending knowledge and the support that I so needed. To this day they are like sitting down to a huge Thanksgiving meal for my mind, body, and soul. Staying true to the PD way of eating including balanced plates of 50% veggies and 50% starch, and eating when I was hungry and stopping when I was full were the key to my 100 lb weight loss in 10 short months.
