Balance is still also an issue. Had an MRI recently and all was stable and normal with it. Saw a neurologist last wee...

What a harrowing experience for your mother and how scary for your whole family. I wish her the best of luck. I love and totally understand her "old people" comment about staying in the home. For all of us over 65, the longer we can stay out of those places, the better for us. If they are necessary,...

I think your S day was a total success. When friends make something especially for us, it is polite to have some, I think.

Thanks for coming to my board, guys. Really appreciate the support. It helps me stay focused. No Snacker, I know what machine you are talking about on Biggest Loser, unfortunately, that will mess with my neck and shoulders. I have arthritis in more than my knees. According to my doctor, I should kee...

Way to go, woman!! I couldn't possibly agree more with all you said. If you eat and binge, it won't help your son one bit unfortunately. Waiting for test results is really nasty, nasty business. I feel so bad for you. I can only imagine what you and your family are going through. Wish we could all ...

Hugs to you for sure. There was some really good thinking in your post. It is so good to hear you will be researching your health conditions and finding out how best to take care of yourself. Very positive and remember backsliding can be helpful too if you think through how it happened. Have a great...

Happy birthday to your son and congratulations on the "determined" decisions. I have had the experience of passing on food lately too and it is a really freeing experience. Also, once the decision is made to pass on whatever food that might be, it doesn't look as appealing as it did when we were tem...

Many of your positive thoughts to me and others have inspired me as well. May you also have a good weekend and enjoy your pie. I talked to my husband last night about the fact that because of bad knees and the dizziness, I can't move as much as I'd like to. He gave me a list of things I could still ...

Thank you No Snacker. You are always so supportive of all of us here on the boards. Really appreciate it. By the way, Freegirl, I was whirling through my messages and missed yours totally. It is nice to know there are people out there who are going through the same challenges I am. I am hanging in t...

Yes, the book is You Can't Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought. It is rather old so maybe that is why it isn't available on Kindle. It is written for people with massive challenges in their lives, everything from addictions to life threatening illnesses. It talks about how these challenges can m...

All my prayers are with your family. It is so hard to wait for test results. I read recently that generalized worry is fleeting and comes and goes. Heavy duty worrying brings a lawn chair and cooler and camps outs. There is no escaping that kind of worry. I have been through it recently too and know...

Way to stay alert and not panicky. It is really easy to start in with the bite here, the nibble there. I agree with the "sigh". If it was cigarettes, we could just give them up forever. Food has to be controlled. Not an task for the faint of heart. Someone new to the boards recently compared watchin...

Thanks, determined. I think so too. It is movement in a forward direction. Today was also a good day with the exception that one snack was spread out and unplanned so I don't feel it can be explained away as emotional eating. Just took a sample in a store and hadn't planned to and then finished the ...

Thanks for the book reference. Actually, I think I started to read it at a friend's house once but didn't finish it before the weekend was over so I just never got around to it. I remember what I read fondly so I will probably look it up again. Today was like the last 2 except that I had an extra sn...

Welcome and wow, thanks for the insights. I love the Matrix example and also comparing eating with having a job. Both require effort and a plan. Both need to happen but neither is a big deal. I really like that. Congratulations on your first 21 days. You are smart to shelve regulating the S days for...

Hi and thanks for stopping by my posts and leaving such a nice message. And no, you weren't complaining. You are, like me I think, a very realistic person. You can't pretend that all is well when it isn't. I have a sister who is just in denial about anything unpleasant in her life. When she has the ...
