My holistic journey has so far has had both its ups and downs. The one valuable lesson I have learnt so far - is to literally trust my gut! If it makes me feel rotten and bloated I simply don't eat it. It has not been easy but I have eliminated wheat and gluten, red meat and refined sugar from my diet and am feeling a lot better! I did it slowly one thing at a time. I also recognise that I am only human and its okay to cheat every once and awhile. I live by the 80-20 rule. 80% of the time I am a "good girl" and 20% of the time I give myself permission to be bad without any self loathing. At least 70% of my diet is plant based- which I am loving!
To my surprise last week when I went to purchase a new pair of jeans I had to go down not one but two sizes!!!!!!! I realise its just a number and the real reward here is my improved health, still it was a proud moment for me! I did it without a scale or counting calories or following a diet. I simply listened to my gut!
YAY ME!!!
