happy to lose a pound here and there
Thursday, January 31st 2008
I lose slowly, maybe a pound a week, or slower. So, yesterday when I asked everyone how do they feel when they loose weight, not only meant what are they most looking forward to, but how do you feel when you lose that one pound. Some people feel disappointment and failure. I feel victory and relief that I didn't go the other way. Slowly but surely is my motto. I know it can be depressing to lose that slowly when on TV you watch shows where the contestants lose 10 pounds in one week, but that's...New Numbers

Yippee!My new numbers are coming in from my recent pump adjustment. They are all in the 100's. My doc may still consider that low, but it's better than the 80's and 60's I had been dealing with for the past month. So far today I have had no lows and feel great.

That's what is good about diabetic recipes, they ...

Certainly, some of these conditions are legitimate weight attractors, but there was a point where I ...pain meds

Take away the vicoden and morphine doc. I'm ready to give it up after 20 years of being dependent upon pain meds for chronic pain. The doc said, "great, I'll wean you off gently and we'll continue with the steroid injections and exercises." That was the start of a brand new life for me one year ago today. You see, I am a chronic pain patient not just someone who has to loose weight. Some of my friend know that I suffer from a severe back condition and other painful conditions which ha...fried okra and other things

I can't believe he brought home okra and asked if I would fry it up for tonights dinner. No matter how I tried to figure it into my days plan, it would not fit into days a lotted calories. So I said, " Honey, you're eating all tis okra by yourself and going to the store and buying me some potatoes " He got up and went to the store! I'm not going to cook up all that okra or not let him have it all either. He can take some for tomorrows lunch. Gee, the things we have to give up. It's th...« Previous
