So I shaved my beard off for the first time in 50 lbs…
I have a cleft chin. I never knew that. Never once.
Eat Food, Not Product
A place for me to ramble about Paleo and post my progress.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
After a desperate, sad week without coffee, I have my newest sampler from Sweet Maria’s ready to be roasted. Next roast I do, I’ll do a photo set of my process.

So I’m making a recipe for Paleo Granola Bars…
Do I put bacon in them? I really think it would work, but I’m a little afraid.

I’m about to be self (un)employed soon
So you can expect some actual updates from me coming up.
I decided I’ve had enough 2 am nights being threatened by drunks, so a change of career is in order. I’m trying to establish enough clients to do online work to get by, but it’s looking iffy.
So wish me luck I guess. This is the first time I’ve made a professional decision based on my health. Let’s hope my idealism doesn’t kill me.

Continuing my journey to become the ultimate paleo-blogger stereotype I started my first batch of sauerkraut today. It’s a small batch from 3/4 of a head, which was about as much as would fit in the biggest pickle jar I had around.
I’m trying to start a period of new resolve for myself. I’m currently really unhappy with where I’m working, so I’m going to try to shop around for jobs in the limited town I’m in. Ultimately I’d like to avoid the process altogether and work up he will to actually work on a book (a fiction book mind you. I don’t want to go so far into paleo stereotypes where I immediately turn around and sell my weight loss as re-branded paleo.)
Wish me luck, and if you have any input I would love to hear it.

A Year [plus a bit] in Perspective
I ripped this from a post I made on the Something Awful Ultimate Transformation thread. I know, you deserve more time than that tumblr. But I’m busy going for walks and not applying for jobs.
A while ago, I decided to be stupid and signed up for the [Something Awful You Look Like Shit] 2012 Transformation Challenge. Well here I am with my changes so far.
So I think it’s time for me to a year in review. I’ve made a lot of progress over the last year and before, so I wanted to remind my self and share with others what I’ve done.
Here’s me at my fattest. I’m the fat one. This is sometime in 2009 after a breakup where I turned to food and being lazy to get through emotions. I weighed in at 315 pounds here. 
This is me two years later after having started eating keto for the first time. I had gotten down to 285 and was starting to grasp how my eating habits actually worked and that it was possible for me to lose weight. Just after this photo I got back from studying abroad in China, and I started back up this time doing paleo along with keto.
And here I am today at 240 pounds. I’ve done a better job at dressing myself, cut my stupid hair, and started being happy. A lot of my mood change came when I cut out wheat. Cutting dairy recently has my breathing much better as well.
People who I know do double-takes when they see me. I’m not depressed any more. I’m confident. I’ve started dating again, and am now in a committed relationship. I’m going to keep going with my weight loss and eating right. I don’t have any hard goal set in mind, but I’d like to get to 200 and see how I look and feel then.
TL;DR:
Started in 2011 and went from 315 to 285ish. 2012 Went from 285 to 240. Still losing, much happier.
Just for today
Maybe we don’t shame people going to the gym starting their resolutions. Is that cool?
