My story

For those of you who are just joining my Fanatical Eating blog, I should maybe let you in on my story to give you some background as to why I am changing my eating habits.  My journey began about 5 years ago when I turned the wonderful age of 40 and fell apart! My reproductive organs went through some trauma that included fibroid tumors, a uterine oblation, and a biopsy on my breast.  I had to quit walking because of incredible foot and hip pain.  I fell down my stairs rupturing a L5 and L6  vertebrae.  I was a mess with pain and frustration not being able to lead the active life style I was use to.  I under went many medical procedures, treatments and physical therapy, in the end I still was in a lot of pain and discomfort.  I have always believed in health and nutrition so with that interest I started to look into things I could do to detox my body and get more nutrient dense foods into my diet.  The results to me have been nothing but amazing!!  I am totally pain free!  I do a spinning class 3 times a week,and can keep up with my active family on biking and hiking activities. I have started to loose some weight and inches that have not budged in years.........and  I have gone back to school to get my nursing degree!  All that I have learned and continually learning is that our bodies are amazing and giving the right environment they are designed to heal themselves.  So I have created this blog to share some of the things I am learning and trying to keep healthy and stay strong while I live each day to the fullest.  Join me and please feel free to add your comments and recipes!!
