dear no name,( i won't call you a slob!),
The bleeding gums were related to my sugar addiction! For so many years the vast majority of my caloric intake was hidden sugar! I guess the sugar caused inflammation !
Yaaaay, you! Good work Lucinda! I knew you'd make it, now for ongoing maintenance (hmmm, that was kind of redundant, lol). I'm sure your success will follow you right through this stage in your journey.
doin' the happy little cloud dance!
It's absolutely amazing how all your health problems just went away!
It just goes to show how our diet has a direct impact on our overall health!
I truly believe that we are what we eat and a healthy diet can be therapeutic and medicinal! Meanwhile, an unhealthy diet leads to sickness and disease.
