Sensory & Nutrition

As I was finding out lots of good things about SPD and myself. I still felt like a million miles away from anything monumental. Then one day I called my sister. (I know it sounds crazy that she could have the answers I was looking for. How did I not find them sooner you must be wondering? Well I have six sisters and I am not always great on keeping up with all of them 100% of the time. So when I have talked with her in the past, my issues had not ever come up in conversation.) This time I really felt like I should tell her about what I was doing and why. She instantly said she knew of an amazing website that could help me.

She directed me to http://www.leftlemon.com/. That night I spent hours poring over the information. It felt so right and I really feel like Heavenly Father had guided me here. But so much information! How was I to make sense of it all and incorporate it into my life?

So I sent an email to the sites creator. She helped point me in the direction I needed to go and over a few emails helped me get started.

Started in what? Well! Go to the website and see!

In a nutshell; nutrition, health, and eating to live.  More than that though, this website helps you figure out what food is to your body and what to do about it.

                                           For starters, I began to eat more like this.

I began paying attention to my body and what it was saying. I had gotten so used to it hurting and feeling sick all the time that I began tuning it out. Now I listened. I wrote it down. I began learning about my body. It’s amazing how much my body knew about its self.

I cannot eat soybeans. I love eating edamame with sea salt for a snack. But it gives me headaches.

I have learned a million little tidbits like this about my body.

One day I was in a situation with a strong odor, which normally results in me developing a severe headache that builds up until my body is extremely sensitive to all sensory. Then I come home and I’m too cranky to be mom, so I just go to bed.

This time I got a mild headache that went away as soon as I was out of the smell. Bomb shell! I almost cried.

Food was helping. I could not believe it. I had finally stumbled on something that was making a difference.
