My mom was a great cook.  My whole family was overweight.  I remember thinking to myself as a young kid “my children will never eat food as good as moms, because it will make them fat”.Every celebration we had revolved around food.  Church gatherings every Sunday, any holiday was cause for a delicious, rich meal with desserts that were made by some of the best cooks the world had to offer.I went from wearing clothes large for my age to having my mom make my clothes.Upon leaving home for University, I was ashamed to be seen in public and had resorted to the now popular xtra large sizes.  No jeans for me it was all jogging outfits.I tried every diet I heard of, including bananas and peanut butter for days on end and a little less crazy ones like the South Beach Diet.  I was always broke or unhappy with what I was eating.I wondered if I would ever fit in with society, but then, when I looked around, society was catching up with me.I wanted a skinny picture!  I would have paid for one.I started hearing about Paleo.  When I finally looked it up and figured out what it was it tweaked my interest.I did a full investigation and finally found a way of eating that is what we were created to eat.  I did start with some advantages.  I had given up soda an sugar, the rest was easy.  I could eat until I was satisfied and still lose weight.  I think you will really enjoy this way of eating if you can manage to give up the two most difficult things, soda and sugar.I am now happier, healthier and determined to get to a weight that is appropriate for my height.I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did and lose the weight you have carried around for years, wishing it was gone!  For an unprecedented time, I can look in the mirror and not turn away in shame.
