I feel good and I feel bad! I don't really know what I'm doing. I've started reading the book...I read Skinny Bitch before this one. I jumped right in. My motivation...I'm tired of not feeling good. I've gained weight...I've done all the diets...For about 5 years I've gone on and off a very carb restrictive food plan and just can't live with it. But I feel weak and worry I'm not doing this right. I don't have everything I need but I've been eating fresh black eyed peas, fresh lima beans, whole wheat grains,,,organic rice...fruit in the morning ...the Follow Your Heart butter...had a premade black bean burger with Veganaise...I feel good right after I eat...but it seems to digest very quickly :) and then I get weak. Some advice...encouragement would be nice. I'm suppose to have surgery on my knee next Tuesday ...I fell and hurt it a few months ago and now they want to do an Artheroscopic surgery to see what's wrong and fix it ...I'm a little worried because my caretaker for a few days will be my (God love her) full fat, southern cooking mama. I need to prepare big time this weekend. Thing is...my swelling (fluid) in my knee ...seems to be going down since I'm doing this.....well...any words of wisdom would be very much appreciated.
