Modern Cave Scrawls

I'm not a health conscious person.  Never have been, and despite the fact that this blog was created solely to document the success of a diet I am about to undertake (Again), I doubt I ever will be.  I am simply a young woman, a novelist, a truthseeker who would love to and should be able to express her feelings and lifestyle to the world without being persecuted.

This diet is obviously not for everyone.

Not many people believe in thinking for themselves.  Not many people can.  They are forced by their peers to succumb to the wills of the world.  This is true for nearly every aspect of life, from habits to politics.  One thing that should never bend or break for anyone though, is one's personal health.

I have found not only through experience but through observation that the Paleo diet exists because it is meant to exist.  The same cannot be said for grains, nor wheat, not even some nuts or seeds.  If such is the case, then why are we eating them?!  I choose to attempt this diet because it makes sense.  It seems like the one, surefire way to not only lose weight, but to inprove the quality of life for not only myself, but my loved ones as well.  I hope to Dispater that I'm doing the right thing -- I hope I'm not blindly putting my faith in something.  But then again, that's what research is for.

My (Should I say 'Our'?) 30 Day Challenge began May 1st.  I'm about to change the way I eat - no slip-ups, no "cheats", no sugar, not even rice - for an entire month.  The prospect isn't scary because I've done it before and I've seen for myself what a couple months on this diet can do, but it's hard to get started.  Particularly because...  Well, I really don't have money.  But it's worth it.  It's worth it if I can not only prove to myself that I have the willpower to do this, but also be able to change my life for the better.  It's a slow-moving process that I've been uncovering this past year and a half, and it is a daunting task, but I think I'm up to it.

Here's to eating Paleo and never looking back.
