Hi Larain Ann n The Walker n Artic Kitty
I thank ea for wonderful reply's.
you put a smile on my face n better yet you left it there. X's
Last wk I ate like there was no tomarrow :I
I had slacked on water n fiber intake.The weight went to my belly but the scale don't show weight gain but I can tell. I can't button the button on my next to special jeans
:( It's time to wipp out measering tape.
I think it's 41 day until Christ mas ( us).my goal of many goals is to lose 6 lbs by then.
I brought extry white bean extract for my freinds... who ever may want it to go w Thanks given, med day meal.
I think that it is best to have heavy meal, mid day, instead of at dinner time.
I don't eat meat except for Alaska seafood n stuff flonder.
I make 2 diffrent types of stuffing. 1 w dark meat from turkey n other w oysters.
I don't use dippings nor stuff the bird butt.
I use water instead of grease.For stuffing, I coat the bakers dish w olive oil.
Olive oil at 1st will slightly smoke n bubble, thats nornal n ok. Due to olive oil,I always use stove vent fan when stuffing starts to bake.
I also use olive oil to coat skillet to cook ( stir) red yellow green peppers w reg n white slice onions, until tender. Great on turkey sandw.
Reemember Do Not eat after 5PM. I soo know that this is hard but between fiber n water, I stay feeling full. late even if I feel that I want Food, I eat u to 1 cup of dry fiber cereal n extry water n sometimes 1/2 cup of coffee with fiber cereal. works for me.
I use sugar free creamer n sweeten low in lite coffee. lite coffee is 1/2 decaf n 1/2 reg coffee blended.
I use 1 to 2 scoops of coffee. 1 scoop makes 1.5 cups of coffee. 2 scoops makes 3 to 4 cups 3 scoops can make up to 6 or 8 cups of coffee. I like my coffee strong except in evening. then I make it on weak side.
Larain Ann, today: Mon.,11/11/12.
I brought n have " Nestle coffee mate" sugar free. Cal's 15 Cal's from fat 10. total 25 cal's :)
The powder form of sugar free is 30 Cal's.
Body has to have tiny amount of oil. I get mine from coffee cream n/or fish n/or 5 almones or 5 walnuts or olive oil. ( I use olive oil n lemon n spices to make salad dressing)
5 alomens same as walnuts is 100 cal's.
Sorry about the spelling.
Ya chatter box is bk,lol, yep that's me, as you can c.
I must share this. Once a mo. I put money bk into my community by shopping at Salvation Army.
It takes me up to 3 hrs to pick out n buy name brands. I reslaae items on E bay n at yard sales.
Today I was shocked. apprantly the store didn't know what they had. they had real gold w real dim ( hugs n kisses ) bracelet. darn right I brought that for my self.
It is time consumeing but it's for community n it also puts a little jiggle in my pocket.
My Mother retired as Col in Salvation Army. she also retired as atty. however attys never really do retire.
I think that by her working it keeps her phyically healthy n mentally stimilated.
I'm retired n basically just sit on my behind.
Think about it, we even sit when we go out in car.N when we go to church or visit people we sit whie we get dressed, we sit n car n we sit when we get to where ever we go.we even sit on tolit ( at least I do ).So it is important that we at least stand up,every hr or 3 hrs,for at least 5 mniutes while at deak or in recliner.
Anywhoo I just thought that others may wish to support their community by shopping at Salvation Army stores.
Past few wks have not been kind to me.
I couldn't stop eatting. I have some sort of strange need to chew chunchy foods 24/7.
I'm will past Men O Pause n I don't smoke pot.
I had incressed my fiber intake n not water intake.
I don't get hungery n I don't want the food that I'v been eatting when I'm eatting it. I just can't stop eatting churchy foods.
Thank God I don't like/eat grease white flour reg sugar (opp's the other day I had 8 pks of lunch type crackers ).
So far this morning I'v had 20 oz of water, fiber one cereal, 1/2 box of Bran cereal, opps yestreday a visitor/friend had pizza here n left it in my refg, hummm,oh ya I removed the toppings n ate 3 pc's of pizza crust.
I had regained 8 lbs but a couple of dys ago I weigh in n scale showed that I had lost 10 lbs that includes the 8 lbs that I had regained. this morning I had to check if I had kept the weight off, wow I have lost another 2 lbs..
Don't get excited yet.
Due to bready type foods n not incressing my water intake I bacame consitipated. I had been so for 3 wks n still am.
afew dys ago reluntantly I took 3 Ex lax. the OTC Gas X pills was working.
I should have went to hospital. I spent couple hrs on toilet trying to poop. I must have gave birth to 2 human babys, that what it felt like.
Last night I sorta had a tiny BM. the pain was unbareable. Due to pain, I fainted n hit my head on wall, I didn't get hurt. Ya this would have been funnier if I said I farted n fainted,LOL or better yet, I farted, n everyone at same time in the other stalls fainted,lol.
Will somewhere in this alful situration I have lost 12 lbs of body fat. Ya theres another joke to be had on that 1 too.
If I don't start to feel better I'm going to hospital.
Please no matter what drink plenty of water. Even if you think that you have, drink some more. I know another joke, but I don't drink alcohol.
Hey Finding
Sorry I mis understood.
I must have farted so hard that morning that I temporary depleted the oxygen out of my brain,lol.
Recently my weight is bounceing like a yoyo w/in 10 lb slot. my body just confused. Recently I begain eatting chrunchy type foods like there no tomarrow. I thank God that I don't like nor eat grease.So my body doesn't know what to do. I know what it's not doing.
I had incresed fiber intake (dry, Original fiber cereal) n not water intake so I'v been constipated, so my weight is yoyo ing.
Ya my green eyes are turning brown,lol
with cold rainy weather that we're been having plus its suppose to rain everyday this comeing wk too. I haven't been able to get out n walk.
I love the holidays but I'm so looking forward to spring n time change.
Enought about me.
How r u doing ???
The yo-yo has to stop at some point so I am sure you will begin to level out soon. NO turning back now.. it's too late for that.
Take care :)
I am sooo proud of you
Recently it was mentioned that my eatting problem may be due to bindge or stress eatting.
I'm going to google bindge eatting.
Went to Dr today,Mon.,11/19/12, she wanted to put me in hospital n for me to have pap test.
I refuse to pay $1.000 for an enmma.
I have yrly physical n test's, so far all has been well. I don't think that it is a woman issue. I just think that my eatting bready type foods n not incressing my water intake has cause constipation.
Last night I did sit ups to put pressure on my lower tummy, sigh.
Ya, it's freaking me out.
You are an inspiration n motivator.
Keep up great work. we can n will achive our goals.
Good luck with the doctors ... seems like a steep price to pay for getting help with constipation. It will happen on it's own time.
Binge eating is very common. I hope you find the answers that you are looking for. It's not easy to overcome but you can do it.
Have a good week.
Last wk I went bk to Dr offc.. she gave me a med to drink n instructed me to stay home n near bth rm.. Oh My God. My pipes are cleared :O
My craveing for bread type foods have stopped.
According to Dr I wasn't binge eattin even through it was like binge eatting, she was longer winded in tell me reason that I craved n basically couldn't stop myself from over eatting bread type foods. she lost me when she started to relate it to a baby,,n what a baby does when it doesn't feel good.
I just can eat bread type foods n just sit on me butt. I will still have fiber one cereal w bran cereal. I have added prune juice n extry water intake to my daily intake.
I already drink a gal of water daily now I'm really going to sluch when I walk,lol
Since my camp out in bth rm,my physical entergy has been restored.
I half to start getting out to mall or wal mart at least 3 times a wk so that I can walk instead of sitting on me butt.Dr stated that part of gas build up was from not walking.
I'm going to check out "Wheat belly " on net.
Wheat might cause gas (?).
This ordel had soo freaked me out.
What a heck of edu.
I'm graitful for everyone input/knowledge... Thank you
