| Hubby here, about seven years ago I was well on my way to 300 pounds. I saw my elderly parents popping fifty prescription pills a day for who knows what, from far to many doctors. I decide I was not going down that route. | Hubby here, about seven years ago I was well on my way to 300 pounds.

| I learned that the [[http://www.godslittlegarden.org|health food store up the road]] was going to have cooking classes. So I signed up. My always [[:tips:frugal|frugal]] wife was completely against this. I saw myself in my parents and did not want that to be me, so I went to the classes anyway. After I while I learned how to avoid doing things that lead to questions such as "How did you get tomato sauce //up there//?". | I learned that [[http://www.godslittlegarden.org|God's Little Garden, the health food store up the road,]] was going to have cooking classes.

| Karen's main issue was with the cost of whole food organic ingredients. As I was doing all of the cooking, which meant opening a box of something most nights or an occasional steak on the grill, Karen ate what I made. I learned from my mother at Karen's funeral that Karen had told Mom when we got married: "I don't know how to cook. I'm not going to learn how to cook." I did not know that for all of those years. There were a few things Karen did cook and cook well. | Karen's main issue was with the cost of whole food organic ingredients.

| As we shifted more of life to organic Karen realized that health food, while costing more, was more filling so we ate less of it. So in the end it was cheaper to buy the higher quality food. We also started to fell better. I had long ago given up sugar due to its affect on my own health. Karen now went sugar free as well. When we got all of the artificial chemicals, like soaps and shampoos, [[:resources:fluoride|Fluoride]] in toothpaste, etc. out of the house as well, then over time Karen's Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus symptoms went away, and did not return. | As we shifted more of life to organic Karen realized that health food, while costing more, was more filling so we ate less of it.
