New Beginnings

Hello! I am so excited to start this blog and be able to document my journey on the Body Ecology Diet.

If you know me, you know that I have tried every diet that is out there! You name it, I have tried it.  I have always tried these diets with the intention to lose weight.  I'm not overweight by any means, but there has always been that 10-15 pounds that I have wanted to lose.  Like most people, I have never been able to stick with these diets. I'll stay on them for a few weeks and then fall off the wagon.  It is a never ending cycle!

So why am I starting the Body Ecology Diet? Well, there is a bigger reason than just losing those 10-15 pounds (but that would be nice, who am I kidding?) I need to do it for my health! I have been plagued with stomach problems for my entire life.  My mom had to carry around plastic bags when I was a kid, since throwing up was a regular occurrence.  Getting into my college years, I can't say that I was nice to my stomach.  I joined sorority, frequented bars in Downtown Fullerton, and ate Dell Taco at 2 in the morning.  Now, at 28 years old, my stomach and I are at odds with each other.  I get stomach aches and heart burn all the time.  I can't go out and have a few drinks with my friends, or I will pay for it for days later.   I think it is time to make a change and focus on my health!

I've been doing research on the Body Ecology diet for a few weeks, and it sounds like just what I need to heal my stomach and improve my health.  In addition to my stomach problems, I frequently feel low energy and sluggish.  My boyfriend told me recently "You have energy problems!"  I don't want to be that sick and tired girl that I have been lately.  I'm 28 years old! I should be out enjoying life and having fun!


So here we go... this is my journey on the Body Ecology Diet.   Enjoy!
