Hi Mima! Yeah, eulac is my user name (it's easy for me to remember and usually no one has ever chosen it on any site). I'm pretty new, as you can see by my number of postings, but I have FMS and a number of other issues so I've been hanging out on these threads. So far the support and friendship has been great.
I went for another walk yesterday with my oldest son, he rode his bike and I pushed the baby in the stroller. I'm not sore or anything right now either so I'm feeling pretty good about stuff. I finished Gullo's "The Thin Commandments" and I feel pretty good about his theories of strategy. I think that's where I've been failing. I can do a diet, no problem, but I don't use any strategies when I face issues with food and I lose every time. In his "Thin Tastes Better" he gives you exercises to work through so you can figure out your problem foods, situations, etc..., which, for me, is good because otherwise I'd just say ALL FOOD is my problem.
I know one thing I have to do, though, is cut back on my work. I'm not a teacher (but I can see where that'd be hard on someone with FMS), but I tend to work about 5 hours plus overtime every week and I can't keep doing that with a new baby and stay healthy. I had to take a psychological day last week and I just piled me and the baby in the car and went for a drive in the mountains. I have to keep myself from getting to that point or I'll definitely have relapses.
I just wanted to also say thanks to everyone for being here.
