How twisted am I?   The first thought that came to my mind was,  "Gee, if I only weighed more, I could eat more!"   Not good!

My husband thinks he is having some side effects of his Lipitor and has decided to go off it.   This has caused him to rededicate himself to low-carb, which should be an encouragement to both of us.    I'm still struggling with carb-binges, but at least I'm aware and fighting.   It seems like the worst cravings are when I am angry.   Somewhere along the way, I learned to substitute "hunger" for "anger" as a more acceptable alternative.   Of course, eating does not subside the anger, so binges are the result.    Amazing that I am just figuring that out!!!    Now, if I can just figure out how to unlearn it!

One day at a time, for all of us.   Peace and health to all!

I'm in of course. I'm FRUSTRATED!!! GRRR!!!!  I'm at a plateau. I forgot about those. Grrr.... I'm gonna post but I'm in for this. :) ((hugs!))

You had a GRRRRREEEEAAAAATTTTT Day!  Pam, it's wonderful that you were able to go three hours between eating, what a great accomplishment! You do whatever you need to do for YOU - and I need your ideas, encouragement, research findings - anything at all you can throw our way will keep this path we're on together paved with the stuff we need to continue succeeding! By the way, I was thinking about you today - what's up with your homeopathic regimen? Are you still seeing that doctor? Maureen

Yes I'm still going to the homeopathic doctor she is awesome. she has a radio show from the college up in storrs on wednesdays. her name is dr storch.
because i had done well instead of seeing her monthly i am down to seeing her in 3 months. i go in june. i was suppose to go this week but because of work plus i've not gotten the blood work done (cause of work) i had to postpone it. she needs to see that blood work before i go in. so i go friday for that.
the really key thing here is that i've been feeling so good i felt comfortable postponing that visit until June.
i'm still not 100% but i do feel like i'm inbetween 75 to 89% thats pretty good.
I no longer feel like I need to walk around my condo with the telephone in my hand. I no longer need to carry a snack in my pocket when I' min my own condo! I do and will always have to like a dieabetic carry some kind of snack in my bag with me in case i get an episode but hey thats ok i've always had snacks.
the things i'm looking forward to doing again is dancing. i miss that so much! my boyfriend and i use to go every single week dancing. we love swing dancing and he would twirl me around and around. but i can only do one twirl now anymore than that makes me sick to my stomach and dizzy. no six flags rides for me! thats a down fall of LBS. At least now we can go dancing again! I can't do every single dance like before but it thats coming. I don't tire as easy as I did I'm getting my energy back but i'm only about 50% of my energy.
I was very HIGH energy before. Hyper time. I know where my son got it!
It felt very good to walk again tonight. it boosts my energy it also boosts my mood and helps to make the depression not so bad. I'm not highly depressed more like down which is a part of LBS too. but I can feel a big difference when I walk those endophophins (whatever hormone it is! hahaha) kick in!
I only did 15 minutes tonight. Last night I did 30 but tonight I was tired. I went to my BF's grandson's birthday party and had one slice of pizza. I am not suppose to have white flour only wheat. so today I was more tired which could have also been somjething that went alonjg with not having the cottage cheese last.
Geesh sometimes I feel like a scientist! The doc said that if I listen to my body remember or write down what I eat and how I felt before and after that I would get to the point where I would know exactly what would happen and what casues some of my episodes.
whatdaya knowshe's right!
I recommend homeopathic to everyone now. I was skeptical years ago but not anymore.
