7 Reasons I Wish I’d Been Willing to Change

heart-gaps

  In the first two decades of my life I never worried about what I ate.  I was lucky enough to be able to eat what I wanted, while easily maintaining a healthy weight.   After I had my children I had a hard time getting down to my pre-pregnancy weight and I did eventually succeed [...] … click here to continue reading 7 Reasons I Wish I’d Been Willing to Change

Feelings of Depression or Nobody Likes a Sad Sack

First of all, let me warn you that I had some depression last week, and I wrote this post back then.  I’m now feeling much better, the depression has lifted, and I think I know what happened and why I was depressed.  But I’ll share that in another post… it may have been die off, but there was [...] … click here to continue reading Feelings of Depression or Nobody Likes a Sad Sack

Food Ideas While on Vacation and Staying on the GAPS Diet

Wash Those Recyclable Bags!

This link was passed on to me from a list I’m on.  Apparently the recyclable bags can collect quite a bit of bad bacteria so they need to be washed regularly. Re-usable bag advice: Wash or risk illness from Arizona Daily Star. We don’t use these bags, maybe if I could retire and was the [...] … click here to continue reading Wash Those Recyclable Bags!

GAPS A Real Answer to Prayer

So far, GAPS has been a real answer to prayer for me. For many years when I was studying body acceptance, so many of the books said all you have to do is learn to eat only when you’re hungry. Don’t eat from mouth hunger.  Learn to detect when you feel satisfied, don’t eat past [...] … click here to continue reading GAPS A Real Answer to Prayer

I Could NEVER Do The GAPS Diet

People are really scared to give up grains.  Terrified in fact. Hey, I understand it. I used to say “I love pasta more than my own mother” and I believed that to be the gospel truth.  But I think what I’ve learned is that if you love something that much, then your body is likely [...] … click here to continue reading I Could NEVER Do The GAPS Diet

Day 59

I am very tired this evening. This is because I went to bed at 9pm last night, which is late for having to get up at 4am.  That wouldn’t have been so bad, except I woke up at 1:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep. I finally got out of bed at 4:15am in a [...] … click here to continue reading Day 59

On Having More Energy

M3361S-3034

I was wondering when I would start feeling better and having more energy. I guess I’d hoped to see results from doing full GAPS within a couple of weeks.  It has been an ongoing complaint for years that I’m tired and worn out.  Many, many emails to friend have ended with me saying I’m just [...] … click here to continue reading On Having More Energy
