Contentment

It has been a while since I have written. Mostly because I have been living life. It is always a good thing when life actually gets lived. If that makes sense! My husband and I have both lost about 20lbs and are feeling better each day. I have not had a withdrawal in a very long time. I think eating organically, working out and being conscious has been helping tremendously.

I have had bouts of asthma since I have gotten off the advair and singular. They have been bad to the point of me getting frustrated and crying. Everytime I look up the side effects/things that these drugs do to your body I cringe and am reminded why I got off of them. I have been practicing Buteyko which is a breathing exercise. I have purchased a dvd and it is amazing that in 3 days I can feel the effects. I have taken my inhaler only 3 times when in the days before I would take it 15-30 times a DAY! This alone is proof to me that our bodies are amazing machines, they can heal us and protect us if we find our correct balance. If we are free of drugs, eat the foods that heal, do not blindly trust the media/doctors, our bodies can show us the way!!

It is a pretty amazing way of thinking and I absolutely love it. I have never really learned a symbiotic relationship with my body and mind because I started taking antidepressants at the age of 15. Every day is a new day and every day should be celebrated for being a learning experience.

Wow I sound like a whole new person don't I? Goodbye drugs, hello LIFE!! =))
