I've missed posting for a few days because I haven't been been well. I went for a dental procedure last week and got a bad infection (gums and bone affected). The PAIN is BAD enough to keep binge monster completely sedated---that is the good news. The bad news is that I'm now having some heart murmurs (abnormal heart sounds) and may have some major problems. I'm terrified because I lost both of my parents (in their 40's and 50's) to heart disease. I'm going for an echocardiogram today, so please wish me luck!
On the positive side, it does make me really appreciate life in general. Even the binge beast doesn't seem so bad right now. It's funny how what "matters" can change so quickly! Please try and remember, even when you're having a bad binge day, that if you have your health and your family you are blessed.
Sorry I don't mean to sound so negative.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and binge-free life!
(((Elizabeth))) My prayers are with you girl! Unusual heart sounds is what made want to change my eating habits. I mean if I am having unusual things going on with my heart at 29 and 160 lbs what can I expect as I get older and heavier? My grandmother had heart problems and when mine started in I got so scared. Turns out mine was high blood pressure from too much bad foods and stress. All the more reason to stay binge free!
Still binge free! this will be Day 7 for me! I feel so empowered knowing I have control right now.
I donīt really belong here at the moment. I am not binging, not eating too much meals or really overeating, but my food choices are bad. So I am NOT REALLY binge free- or maybe, if you would have a "Binge-free till noon- thread".
I just wanted to send Elizabeth a few of those Hope everything will be ok! I am thinking of you!
Oh, and ellis: The Zen Creative- whatever itīs called is....I heard from a lot of people that itīs not good and complicated to use. After all, itīs just a bad copy from the iPod- and not even cheaper.
Psst: I would suggest: bring it back and buy an iPod. It took my 3 Min to figure out how to use mine- including loading songs, playlist etc...
And CONGRATULATIONS to everyone here being binge- free!!
Two days binge free! I still ate too many calories, between 1900 and 2000 but it was not bingeing, it was eating portions that were too big and/or high calorie foods. I'm on to day 3! I've already driven 150 miles today on a round trip to get a new air conditioner. What a pain, today is supposed to hit 102 and the ac went out. Hopefully I can get this new one in today before the weekend hits.
I haven't weighed in a week or so. Not sure if I want to until I get the calories down.
I haven't been in here in a while cause my little man has been sickly. The stupid antibiotics they gave him messed up his stomach so badly that he ended up with bloody diarrea. Then the doctor scared the crap outta me by telling me he might have psedomembranous colitis. Which we just got the test back for and than goodness he doesn't. He is still feeling pretty crappy but getting slowly better. So I have been eatting nothing but crap but i did keep it below mt calorie allowance so thats good. I even lost 2 more lbs. Probably from the stress more than healthy lifestyle.
Elizabeth: I hope everything is okay!!!! I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Elizabeth, I'm sorry I missed your post yesterday... my computer's been in the shop.
Dear girl, I'm praying that things go well. You know you're in good hands. If something isn't quite right, the doctors will be right there on top of it. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. love and hugs,sweetie...
Lesley, I'm so glad your little boy is doing better. It's so worrisome when our children are ill.
Oky, I just bought a new keybord,and I hte it. It's one of those washable rubber thingys, ad it's driving me right up the wll. I think i'll take it back. Look at my typing!
Kate, thnk you for the advice re; the mp3 player. I'm hving the week from h*ll where purchses areconcerned.
Telemtrynurse, I am so sorry to hear about your heart scare. What sort of tests will they be doing on you? I was found to have an innocent murmur while I was pg w/my first child. (They always knew about the murmur but it got louder so that's when they did the tests.) All was well. I hope all will be well with you too. I'm thinking of you.
I had 1 night of binge this past week. Feeling pretty happy about that, lots of stress. Talked with my Dr. (I see a diet Dr., councilling and diet councilling) BP was high,,,but did manage to loose a bit. Feel like I was able to be above the beast.
Elisabeth I hope all goes well for you,,,when do you do the test?
Leslie, its always scary when its your children...
I did great today. Reading here has made such a huge difference for me. I'd been having around 1900 to 2000 the last few days which is ok, I did not binge at all. Today I had around 1275 calories. MUCH better. I made some better food choices too. I'm getting ready to jump on the elliptical for a few minutes and then I think I'll turn in early. It's over 100 degrees here and our ac went out the other day. We got a new one in today but not till around 6:00 pm.
Idrial,,,thank you the screen name kinda matches how I feel some days.
I love your avatar.
That is one machine I would like to own,,and ellipitc.
I had a clean day had being tis Canada Day we went to the lake with family and hung around. I took my mom shopping for groceries and bought mostly fruit as treats and chicken breasts for dinner. I feel really empowered over being able to make choices that are good for me and the family. They didn't even notice all the food on the table was good for them.
Gonna go get my water in,,,feeling my body's need for it now. Which I like.
night all
Sunday to sunday One Binge day, and today i overate at dinner. All the other days I did great! lost 13 pounds. I'm staying positive! I hope everyone else does too.
