Halfway home! THANKS! page

[Laguna]

I'm really excited, and I don't want to be puffed up or proud in "real life" (I just posted in another thread that I want primal's impact on me to speak for itself instead of me preaching)... but I've crossed the halfway point of the weight I want to lose! So for this one thread, I'm going to be puffed up and proud on this forum.

This "diet" has been simple and fulfilling -- two words nobody would normally associate with the word diet. I'm very grateful to the people of this forum for being open and honest, and providing a virtual support system for us fat people. It's made a big difference.

I know the second half of the weight will be the hard half. I'm ready. I know it might take me a year or more. I'm ready.

Thanks!!

What would your top tip be for newbies?

Way to go! May the second half of your journey be as fulfilling as the first.

Weight loss is not linear. Enjoy your food. Don't get discouraged if the scale doesn't move for a few days. You are benefiting yourself more than just losing weight.

Thank. You're right,it definitely isn't linear.

I mentioned other benefits: 1. Completely off of Nexium (heartburn med) and have zero symptoms. This happened mostly before the weight came off, due to the change to a more neutral alkaline/acidic diet. 2. Food is still something I enjoy, but I don't live my life waiting for the next meal. This is mostly due to the fact that what I eat actually makes me feel full for more than 30 minutes.

If you're new, keep at it!
