3 weeks!

I started my low-fat paleo adventures on January 10th, right after coming back from Spain. No excuses, no waiting until Monday. The day after I landed. I looked up recipes, went to the grocery store, and started cooking. After three weeks, I feel great. Energy level is up, my endurance WODs have become easier and faster, my belly is flatter (my goal is not weigh loss, but I am realizing I was bloated a lot before), digestion is great, and I have hardly felt any pressure where my cyst is.
Do I miss any foods? Well, sure, I do, but I have missed some since I had to be put on a low- fat diet 4 years ago, so I guess I'm just used to it, and willpower is now my forte. I had to give up olive oil and I did. I had to give up beer, and I did. I had to give up cookies, and I did. So if I have to give up bread, I will. If I can't eat legumes, I don't. It's really not  a matter of will power, but a choice to be healthy, and I choose to be as healthy as I can be. No cheat days, no cravings.
