I didn't lose weight I lost toxins

[Momma_Halo]

Standing in my kitchen munching on what is considered vegetarian chili with soy cheese I can see my reflection in the window. I have to say I am starting to look good. 

Lately my throat has been acting funny and I haven't been able to swallow. Most people would warn me to go to the doctor. So I did... twice. They took blood tests and swabbed every part of me to figure out what was going on. But they forgot to ask me something important.

What have I been eating?

Every time I would eat meat or dairy I would swell shut. So I have been testing the waters and decided that I can't play around with this anymore. My body is warning me that by delaying cutting off the junk that I am just not listening to its warnings. So the warnings turned into giant alarms going off. 

I cut out dairy completely first and I just started shedding a ton of weight on my own. I woke up every morning an inch smaller on my waist. So I did some research on my own. My first warning of food allergies was my weight gain and no matter what I did to try to lose it by working out I never lost an inch. 

I just gradually got worse with my health by ignoring the signs. I am like the diabetic who thought I could win over my disease by mind over matter. Only to learn that my disease won the game by faking a pass. And when I ate all those Christmas cookies and had to make a run to the doctor for constipation and swelling... well I think it was for the best. 

I have recently lost 20 lbs and have been watching everything I eat. And inches off my waist has gone so far from being a size 16 in a dress to a size 9. What I had was not fat but water weight with what they refer to as toxins. And now they are just burning off.

Also by keeping this diet I have started to control the PCOS and have had more periods than I am use to. Which means I am buying more pads and so forth. I have to keep repeating to myself that this is a good thing but the cramps just contradict that.
