Dinah,

You are doing so well! I don't even want to talk about it. Me that is :-(

I'm sick. I don't think I have the flu, because my fever comes and goes, so it all must go back to my mouth.

It makes losing weight pretty easy.

I see the ENT tomorrow (why did it take me so long to figure out which doctor to see?). If he can fix my mouth, my weight loss might grind to a halt. But I hope it doesn't turn to gains.

How are you doing? When I'm stressed and anxious, I tend to eat just to keep going. Right now I'm just not going.

Actually, a bit below.

And the day after Thanksgiving and the most I've eaten in weeks.

Not too bad.

keeping a healthier Dinah around is a great idea for all involved. your hubby and son will appreciate a healthier wife and mother who has a better chance at living longer.

you're doing this for you but others will enjoy the benefits you'll feel from being lighter.

it isn't about fixating on the numbers. it is about feeling better, having more energy, being healthier and the ability to enjoy life more easily than before. well done and keep going!!

Thanks Zen. I hope it keeps up when (or if) I ever get over this blasted flu.

I really am trying to be healthier in a lot of different areas.

>>> Thanks Zen. I hope it keeps up when (or if) I ever get over this blasted flu.

takes time DM. look at your fellow deputies and their paths to improvement....GG is learning kundalini yoga while dealing with medication issues, CS has been doing yoga for a year now and has kept to her sobriety, Racer writes about her eating issues on the eating board and what works for her or what doesn't work for her. Sorry we're not more familiar with Auntie or 10der and what they've done to improve their situations over time.

Remember that health doesn't come immediately. It takes time to relearn ways of living more healthily. It takes LOTS of practice to continue patterns such that they become habits.

If a disease is within your ability to control then we wish you the utmost support to learn ways to control the symptoms. We'd like to see a Dinah who doesn't face amputation or other complications of diabetes down the road. If you're able to face those issues now you're already ahead of the game!

I don't rely on that to stand, though. It seems like just too great a loss in three days.

My guess would be 193-194.

I don't understand it. I'm eating almost nothing.

That was the only upside to being sick.

Not until today. :)

Maybe it has to do with drinking or not drinking enough, or just stabilizing an unusually low reading.

If I ever get over whatever it is I have, I'm planning to start walking my dog. Maybe that will jump start my metabolism. Of course, I'll also eat more.

It really is harder to lose weight as you get older. :(

Dinah, you are doing good on your weight. Oh and Happy Birthday--I'm still catching up. I would Babble mail you but you don't have it turned on. Hope everything is okay.

Thanks Midnight Blue.

It's turned on now, and I'd love to hear from you and hear how everything's going for you.

I haven't weighed myself for a while, because there are certain times of the month that I just refuse to weigh myself.

Plus I've gone back on Risperdal and I'm afraid of its effects on my weight. I can't see going off it until after the holiday season.

I'm a tad discouraged about my mouth. I thought this latest ENT had the answer for me, but I'm taking my antibiotics and drinking enough water to float a ship, and still having trouble. Fever's down but not gone, and altogether I'm ready to believe I'll live with this forever.

Dinah,

Tried to Babble mail you a few days ago. Not sure if you got it. It doesn't matter. Hope you are feeling better. I'm okay just tired and eating my way through all the best desserts of Christmas. I'll get back on track with you after the first of the year as far as weighing in and counting calories goes.

Less than two weeks.

Christmas is over, but I still am having the urges to eat myself beyond fullness into feeling sick. I'm compulsively eating everything I see.

I'm stopping Risperdal today, I'm hoping that will make a difference.

On the other hand, I'm also compulsively shopping, buying things I don't even want. So maybe I'm just trying to escape.

Dinah,

I can't quit eating. Hungry, tired, stressed. Lots of reasons for all those things, but the end result is that I'm stuffing my face. NOT SAYING what I weigh but clothes are REALLY tight!

I'm sorry. :(

That's kind of what's happening with me too, and I haven't even dared get on the scales.

Hang on, things will get better (or at least they generally do eventually).

I'm sorry about the stress. I'm available if you could use an ear or a shoulder.

 

I wish I could go to sleep and stay asleep

and wake up months from now, thinner.

It seems impossible to diet and work and try to live a life all at the same time.

it is hard to keep with this Dinah but ever so important as you're needed by your son and husband. your life can be better, happier, more positive....it will take time and it isn't easy as you well know.

three months to make something a habit? isn't that the time frame? instead of setting the bar too high and seeing the bigger picture falling off the wall and crushing you why not stay focused on the present and do what you can each day and release yourself from yesterday and save yourself the worry of the future.

try to baby step day by day. you've been able to do a lot of things in your life that you never thought you could. this is merely another challenge that will take daily dedication and lots of patience and forgiveness.

keep at this Dinah. you *can* make these changes.

Right now I think I'm too focused on making it through the next hour (not even the next day) in a productive way to ever even think about long term consequences. My clothes are getting pretty tight. :(

Unfortunately, for all the bad long term consequences, food works.

Thanks Zen.
