The number one change was actually 2, gluten free and smoking. Once I was able to go completely chemical free, it took a year, you actually feel like a kid again. I have more physical and mental energy then I know what to do with.

Nice post JC
Appreciate it. I also learned long ago that gluten (a part of the refind wheat flour in bagles and cheap bread) is terrible for you. Gives me big heartburn and puts weight on easily.
No dairy is amazing. As I said I buy the 24 oz block of chedder and go thru that in about a week WITH some shredded too. How I dont know
but it goes. I LEAN hard on cheese as being easy. But I am turning into a huge chunk of cheese lol
Pork went huh. My friend says pork is bad. Due to the whole worm thing. Coffee I quit (in favor of no-doze lol so no gain there
Well some gain: No bathroom trips and better teeth.) I am with ya on all processed foods are gone (except sugars, corn syrups (for now) ) A little red licorice left THEN maybe no more
Can I do it. No candy
I remeber walking as a kid up the alley 3 blocks to a place called Macs. Old guy with a lil store with a TON of penny candy. With one thin dime Id get 10 or sometimes more asst pieces in a bag (with a twizzler sticking out
) As most of us, Candy and I go back and deep down I love it but it doesnt love me.
twizzler
black jack
dubble bubble or bazooka
pixie stick (sometimes)
tootsie roll
laffy taffy (banana)
some 2 for 1cent
fives (with the little tiny malted milk balls)
only up to 8 cents and I forget what else lol.. it was about 40 years ago
But I would come back home in lala.. lalala land
So it is hard to say goodbye..
