i want to talk about fiber!

in my opinion, taking fiber is the most important thing you can do for yourself! not only is it good for “good bowel health”, its great for weight loss.

i knew that fiber was important, most people do, but how much do you know? i found out about 1 month ago, i didn’t know as much as i thought i did. i had a colon polyp removed about 5 weeks ago and that baby was 15 cm in length and it was about as big around as a golf ball.  after being forced to go through a colonoscopy and having the polyp removed made me realize how important fiber is. (everyone needs to read up on it). the more fiber you take the faster stuff moves through your bowels.

fiber is very important for weight loss! i take metumucil 3 times a day (sugar free!)

Oh my goodness! Where do I begin?

i had a spinal fusion in 2001. i had a tumor on a vertebrae and it caused that vertebrae to colapse. so that led to a metal fusion and rods pinned into both sides of my spine . at this point my weight was 140 lbs. by the year 2002 i weighed 120 lbs. as time went on, up to this point in my life i weigh 185.5. 

i have struggled with weight problems since i gave birth to my daughter 17 years ago.  due to my back problems….surgeries and such, i have permanent nerve damage in both legs and lower back and the last mri i had done showed arthritis starting in my spine.   This was terrifying news for me, i mean i am a very strong minded women and very active and this just seemed to be the end of my life. i was 31 years old when my neurologist broke this news to me! so i have my good days then i have my feel sorry for me days.

i ve decided to quit feeling sorry for myself and be me again! of course during this feel sorry for me pity party time i gained a wopping……..65.5 lbs……in a total of 3 years!

yeah i know its just sooooooooooooo embarrasing! i didnt even realize until this morning. i know that sounds ridiculous but its true. its like something clicked internally and i woke up this morning and said……self your a porker and its time to do something about it. lol!

i am active doing house work, barn work, and i also climb steps all day long. i actually have 3 floors in my home and 2 flights of steps, if you ask me, i should be skinny!

i have obese relatives and i think being fat is def. in my “genes/jeans”! i can look at a slice of bread and gain 10 lbs! i have learned that if i stay on a high protein/low carb intake i can loose weight and maintain, if i start eating “bad” carbs….well, lets just say the out-come is not a pretty site!
