Unhappy Okay it is day 3....

....and it could just be coincidental, but I read that constipation could be a problem and well......ummm.......how do I say this......well....... ......here goes, I have had just the OPPOSITE problem, in fact barely made it to the bathroom at Target today! Is it the high fat/protein? Increased lettuce consumption? Help!!!!!!!

ps. There is a pair of underwear in the garbage in the Target bathroom as I type! hhehehehe...sorry if it grosses anyone out, but you all seem to understand!

Lettuce does it to me every time! I think it's just a lot of (pardon the pun) crap getting out of your system. And the leafy greens tend to help the constipation go away, so there you have it. Sorry you had a bad experience at Target!

I get like that too. I think its a combo of the lettuce, and the water...while I am at work I am literally runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnning to the restroom several times, eveyrone thinks its soo funny! I don't, but I do think that your body changes so much so maybe its flushing (hee hee hee) out all the old stuff. I know it sounds gross, but it's kinda true, I guess.

I never knew they had "public" washrooms in the grocery store until last week. Doing my shopping, cart full, then OMG - bf pointed me in the right direction & I was gone :-)

Drinking lots of water and eating bacon or raw spinach all have that effect on me.
The worst is when I'm in the middle of teaching a lesson and there is no one to take over the class for me and I get that old familiar feeling. Once, I couldn't wait until passing time and I went next door to have the guidance secretary watch the kids for me. Thank goodness, she's a sweetie and very understanding. I was really doing the potty dance that day!

Well be thankful you were at Target...and they had public washrooms... don't want to get stuck in the car driving some desolate road when that happens.

I have not really had this problem (the opposite problem actually) and the ONLY time this happens is when I ingest too many of those nasty sugar alcohols. If you have been having these in your diet, this may also be the culprit!

Talking On the bright side...

My personal quote for the week is "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort"

So, in the spirit of my weekly quote, here's my spin on the lettuce/sugar alcohol/anything that makes us run desperately to the bathroom and possibly throw out underwear away dillema -

As soon as it happens, strip down and hop on the scale! At least you get a temporary 2 pound loss out of it.
