:)HI all,:)
as I already posted in a different thread, I had some extensive blood work done and got the results on Friday and I am so excited that I am doing another post.
I have been following PP since Nov 07 and have to admit that I am not perfect. I fall off the wagon BUT always get back on immediately. I have given away 30 pounds and never want to find it again. lol.:p
the last time I had my cholesterol checked i was 189. this time it was.... drumroll.... please 169. my doc told me that the ratio good/bad cholesterol is perfect and everything else is perfect too.
I have to admit that deep in my heart I always wondered HOW on earth my cholesterol could stay the same or even go down with eating all the "forbidden things" but i stuck with it anyway. I am thrilled to be honest and i am glad to be proven wrong. lol. PP is the only way for me to eat in order to keep my physical and mental health. After being on every diet for most of my life, I have finally found my WOE that I can live with and love.
To my utmost surprise my doctor even agreed to PP and thinks it is a great way of eating. :eek:. I expected the usual, "no no follow the food pyramid and lower your fat and bla bla bla.." :rolleyes:, well she did not. and i am happy with that. to be honest even if she had given me the yadda yadda speach, i would have still stuck with PP.:cool: .:D
Thanks for everybody who posts here. I find lots of inspiration and motivation from all of you. Keep on PPing!!!!!!
