The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

How Primal are you: Probably about 90% if I had to be honest about it
Do you consume dairy: Yes, milk and cheese!
Do you drink coffee or tea: Nope
Motivator for switching to Primal: Firstly, my husband has been primal since the beginning of the year and says he's never felt better. He lost about 16 lbs (not that he had to lose it, he's always been pretty healthy and skinny) and says he feels great eating primal. Secondly, I just had a baby three weeks ago and figure I'd start in on it so we are both eating the same meals. I lost the baby weight within the first two weeks (35 lbs) but I'd like to lose an additional 25 lbs.
Favorite exercise: I love hiking.
Favorite Primal food: Salmon, eggs, steak, bacon....
Best part about being Primal: Not having to count calories or points! Oh, and I can still have wine!
Worst part about being Primal: I do admit that I miss bread and the occasional pastry....
