Hi there,

Although I've not yet read all of TGC (just the first 20 pages on the site), I've been following the blog posts for some time.  Thank you J. Stanton, the posts are easy to understand and I have learned so much from them, especially on what hunger really is and why it happens.

I found gnolls.org via Free the Animal several months ago.  I'd already been some form of Paleo for over 2 years (going on 3), but several concepts really hit home after ready much of  your blog posts.  In the beginning of my journey in 2010, I was 225 lbs on a 5'1" frame and suffering from mild depression.  I had also started developing seizures around the age of 21 (I'm 29 going on 30 now).  I didn't have many, maybe only 1 episode a year, but  had them nevertheless.  I'm now convinced it was due to gluten sensitivity/intolerance as all my original labs/tests came back "normal" at the time (around 2003 or 2004).  Since going Paleo, I'm down to 129, between a size 4 or 6 pants and a small shirt size.  I've also successfully, cut my seizure medication by 3/4 and been seizure free for almost 3 years.

I look forward to reading the rest of TGC when I get it, reading new blog post and continuing my journey toward optimal health.

Jen W.
