I have been heavy all of my life. My Mom was big and she was a big proponent of the *clean your plate club*. Over the years I had a few big swings in weight where I was able to lose over 100 lbs twice. Why is it so much easier to put it on than take it off?

Anyway, with RA we need to do what we can to reduce stress on the joints and weight loss is at the top of the list. Furthermore, the new information on inflammation and impact on those with Rheumatoid Arthritis demand that I try to adjust.

I have just ordered some raw, plant based, sustainable chips from Citizen Raw! Run by a friend, these chips are small batch and locally produced. Seems like a great place to start. I am getting a few other things as well and we will see if I can walk the walk so to speak.

I will keep y’all appraised of the situation 🙂
