So, I have finally got there. I have gone Organic. It wasn't easy to start. I felt like a chicken with my head cut off trying to find only organic foods in the grocery stores but I am on track and though I have not lost a lot of weight in the last 2 weeks (only 1.5 lbs) I actually feel better.
Now I am not saying it is taking away any of my pain (if you have DD you probably know the cold weather brings it on big time) but I am more with it and have much more energy. There will be slips especially when eating out and traveling but they are small and I try harder at those times to choice right. I spent an hour searching over a menu for Potbelly's before heading to Chicago (actual final destination to my client's in Lisle, IL) and chose a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat flat bread as opposed to a salad which had much more calories. I bulked it up with lots of veggies and though they are not organic I at least stuck to my guns. That night I had salmon and broccoli at the White Chocolate Grill and only two bites of dessert.
Since then I have not had any processed sugar in 2 weeks but have found alternatives to help that craving. In fact I have found wonderful options for all my cravings. Late July makes great organic mini cheese crackers and Trader Joe's has Organic Popcorn that was tossed with Olive Oil and Sea Salt. I have got a few different dark chocolates that are organic and I eat fruit when I really need something sweet.
I am planning on using this blog for my Organic Diet tracker as well as posting info on Dercum's. I will also help out more on Cure Dercum's now that my work life and free time are getting sorted out.
Here's hoping for a much better year in 2013.
