Learning through Living: Weight Loss

Weight Loss

In July 2010, I weighed 204 lbs. In July 2011, I weighed 183. Today I weigh 163. I'm just barely 5'7.

I've been off of gluten for 9 months, I had it twice by accident. Must really read labels carefully, it wasn't wheat it was barley. Me and barley don't get along.

I'm off of blood pressure meds and my blood pressure has been normal for the past month.

Still working on balancing my hormones but it's not as bad as it used to be.

Could you let me know what you need to watch out for in labels? I figure anything that says Wheat or Barley with it, but is there anything else? :D

Thank you!; 8:55 AM

Instead of Education~ John Holt

Next to the right to life itself, the most fundamental of all human rights is the right to control our own minds and thoughts. That means, the right to decide for ourselves how we will explore the world around us, think about our own and other persons' experiences, and find and make the meaning of our own lives. Whoever takes that right away from us, as the educators do, attacks the very center of our being and does us a most profound and lasting injury. He tells us, in effect, that we cannot be trusted even to think, that for all our lives we must depend on others to tell us the meaning of our world and our lives, and that any meaning we may make for ourselves, out of our own experience, has no value."
