Do I control it? Or, it me? I am learning more about the Trim Healthy Mama (https://www.facebook.com/TrimHealthyMama) nutrition plan to help me learn more about how to fuel my body in the way it needs. I think as a society our views are so skewed regarding real nutrition and its purpose!

I have ...I can completely relate to this struggle. I have ALWAYS struggled with my weight, even as a child. I have always, always felt so much bigger than other girls. I am not that big, but I'm way bigger than I'd like to be. I had my second 5 months ago and am struggling so much to get the weight off. I have such an issue with food. I love to eat, but I have so much guilt and self-loathing after I eat something that I shouldn't. It's exhausting. I know that I need to make a change, but I don't really know how. I hate eggs, and we're pretty poor right now, so I don't think the Paleo eating would work well for me. I need to do something about my food relationship. Keep up your great work. Those results are fantastic!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724375886877852249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-30158059481997895622014-07-21T17:43:56.698-06:002014-07-21T17:43:56.698-06:00So glad it's working well for you!

I'm going to echo Jessie up there - make a salad with some good lettuce or yummy arugula, some chopped tomatoes and avocado and drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar. And lots of salt and pepper. Then chop the eggs in. Much better. Also try recipes on PaleOMG - I know there are some paleo things that are "allowed" that are not "allowed" on the Whole 30, but you can adjust the recipes to fit.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999838147173390906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-2063841103964702302014-07-21T13:49:53.060-06:002014-07-21T13:49:53.060-06:00I just read this wide eyed and bobble headed as I ...I just read this wide eyed and bobble headed as I nodded along to everything you just said. Your situation is so nearly identical to mine it floors me; from the high school weight to the wedding weight to the food as comfort or habit. <br /><br />I'm freshly started on a 21 day detox so eating paleo is my (not literal, unfortunately) jam. Do yourself a favor: take two of those damn hardboiled eggs, chop them up with half an avocado, sprinkle to your taste with red wine vinegar and salt, and let your palate say: "hey thanks." You might also consider downloading Caveman Feast - it's an app for strictly paleo recipes and they have some really killer ones in there. GOOD LUCK.

I've been flirting with the Primal websites (don't take away my cheese!) for a few weeks and really wanting to try it slash trying it but letting the weekends go as they may. This might boost me to ACTUALLY try it for a while.

I can definitely relate to what you've said, and I'm even toying with the idea of actually doing a Whole30 myself despite how insanely difficult it sounds to do. One of my hesitations lies in how to feed my family (mainly dinner) while doing this. I'm curious what you've done. Do you prepare 2 separate meals for dinner? Or have you kind of forced them to join you on this journey? Also, what have been some of your go-to meals?Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936312772106838478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-39453757903509933962014-07-20T13:21:53.658-06:002014-07-20T13:21:53.658-06:00Yikes, that’s embarrassing…especially given the to...Yikes, that’s embarrassing…especially given the topic of the news story.

My hubs and I are doing a strict 30 day paleo challenge right now to get ourselves back on track. Be encouraged that the food gets yummier and the budget gets better as you find what works best for your family. I'm spending wayyyy less now than when we first started. Good luck and hope you keep writing about your experience!
