Wow HB you get your period really heavy. I use to be like that..but now it is only somewhat heavy on the first 2 days but way nothing like in high school. I would have to stay home sometimes because of the pain and heaviness. It would drain so bad.

Hey I have super heavy periods too. I know that I have a fibroid but don't know if it's just because of that. Huh, nice thing for all of us to have in common.


B: Vanilla protein shake

L: Veggie drink

D: Pine nuts (weren't chewy, fell apart in mouth - cool!) and buckwheat waffles with real maple syrup

Drinks: water, perrier

Will not write down what else I had because I have my period today. And oh reasons for no reason at all lol.

Naes.

Hi, I live in Ontario, Canada and I buy from either my ND or my health food store something called UltraMeal made by Metagenics. It's called Medical Food and it is nutritional support for the management of conditions associated with metabolic syndrome.

It helped me lose weight, it gives me something healthy to have every morning and I can add fruit to the shake. I can't have dairy, but this tastes like a big ol' milkshake in the morning. It comes in other flavours. It has vitamins and protein in it. So I just call it my protein shake. And it is satisfying enough so that I can only have just the shake in the morning but sometimes when I am super hungry I can eat something else with it. And I make it in the blender.

Hope this helps.

Naes.

:) I'm glad your daughter likes all the smilies!!! :D

I'm off to court today, so I won't be here much 'till this evening.

Breakfast - eggs (of course)
Lunch - salad - I'm ordering a Greek Salad today with tuna salad on the side.
Dinner - Ceasar Salad and tuna salad.

I've lost 4 pounds even though my monthly is going. Maybe it will be more when that's done!! :D

HB.. what's going on with having to have a lawyer?
The honey bun cake is delicious... (I made it myself for our church function)
How do you get full on only 2 eggs? I would never make it! And I wish I could enjoy a salad with just olive oil, but it's just not enough flavor for me. *sigh*

I'm suffering from my cheating I suppose. I'm more tired today, have post nasal drip which makes my throat feel weird, my knee has been hurting and a pressure behind my eyes comes and goes. :( Maybe one day I'll learn... but usually when I eat sweets I actually feel "better" for a while. I wonder if the yeast growing actually feels good and then when I quit feeding it .. it gets unhappy and attacks me??!!

Today I've done better so far.. I'll come back later and fill you in on what I had for supper.

Breakfast- 3 eggs, 1 piece of bacon, 1/2 granny smith apple

Lunch- Salad..(green leaf lettuce, baby spinach, carrots, chicken) with homemade french dressing.

If we get home in time for supper I'll eat another salad, but we may have to eat out and I don't know what that will be.

Lawyer's done. :) No problmeo.
Salad, I like dressing but very little. I add some Himalayan salt and the EVOO. Sometimes a squeeze of lime juice. I've always liked plain everything. Only recently learning new tastes. Like the Greek foods, and other tasty things.
Sometimes I put the eggs in a flour tortilla. But as you eat less and you get used to it, you will be OK wilth less. It takes allowing the stomach to shrink a bit. Takes about 2 weeks.

When I did Weigh Down Workshop - that program taught that you did not eat until you got hungry. Some people it took 2 or 3 days before they got hungry! You only eat when you are hungry and stop when you are satisfied - not full but satisfied. Takes some practice, but a good, fast way to lose weight! :D That program also taught to cut restaurant portions in 1/2. Only eat 1/2 not what a restaurant calls a dinner portion. Take 1/2 with you and have it for lunch the next day. When you are full, cover the plate with a napkin and push it away so you are not tempted to nibble. Soon you feel pretty miserable when you eat one bite over "satisfied." Your stomach will not register "full" for about 20 minutes from the time you start eating, so eat slowly and deliberately. Stop when satisfied and you soon will feel full.

*****************
CB that is exactly what happens!! The yeast or orther fungus will make you feel pretty good unitl it doesn't get what it wants. It will make you crave what it wants or needs to thrive. Youwill feel "good" for only as long as it takes to start breaking down the body. That is what fungus was created to do...break down dead organic matter. If you are not dead, it starts working on injured tissues. It causes premature aging, and disease.

When you get most of it killed off you will actually feel better than you did eating the sugars and other bad foods. Then it hurts when you cheat. So, IMO, that should be your goal. Get clean enough that cheating hurts, instead of cheating making you feel better.

It is like spraying weed killer on your yard then fertilizing it. The weeds will not die if you are feeding them. The fertilizer makes the weeds stronger.

I would have to learn to distinguish from actually being hungry and thinking I'm hungry! LOL When I was a teenager I could go long spans of time without eating. I went a whole week one time without eating. I remember when I got used to it, I didn't ever want food. My mother had to make me eat... none of it tasted good after a while and I was content to do without. But that is also when I started having anxiety and panic attacks for the first time, so I think I messed myself up some. I got a little drastic with it... lost down to 108 pounds and I'm 5'6. I looked like a bone and still thought I was fat. When I look back at pictures though I was no where near fat. My grandparents were flipped out by it. I think they thought I was going to kill myself by not eating. LOL Back then I cared more if I gained some weight than I do now... so I was more stubborn about it, as a teenager can be. :)

Well, last night I did get stuck out and have to eat out. My BIL was with us and everyone wanted mexican. So the safest thing I could think of to eat was steak fajitas. I only ate 1 flour tortilla and just ate the rest by itself. No chips and salsa.
I have suffered no gastric problems for this thankfully. But I did end up with horrific pain behind my eyes in the night. I don't know if it was from what I ate or from the strong smell of the laminate flooring we brought in last night. We just bought 60 boxes of laminate flooring.... (about to replace some carpet), and it stinks right now. It wasn't long after I got cooped up inside with the stuff that my eyes started hurting. I took half an exedrin and managed to go back to sleep. I'm airing out the house today.

I'm not a doctor, but I see several things in what you posted above.
Anorexia which is a "disease" caused generally by fungal infection. In fact, you can read the same thing on the Mycotoxin chart
http://www.micotoxinas.com.br/micoefeitos.htm
See Emetic or feed refusal factor or Vomitoxin - deoxynivalenol (dee-oxy-ni-vale-e-nol) Humans are affected as well as animals. Although this chart only mentions animals. Affects teens a lot b/c they eat so much junk food. Most junk food is corn derived. You can see that the toxin is found in cereal grains and Anorexia CAN kill you, if left untreated long enough just like Karen Carpenter.

2nd - Would you like me to post some of the info from Weigh Down Workshop? I was a leader for 8 sessions I have all the info. She will teach you to learn the difference between head hunger and stomach hunger. I can start a section in the Religion section since there is a lot of Scripture used.

3rd - The headache was probably from the chemicals in the lineoleum. If you have real lineoleum and not the vinyl stuff - actually either have chemicals. But the smell can definitely affect you! And the fajitas, although better than most of the other foods at a Mexican restaurant, still are marinated in weird stuff and were not grass-fed. But you did what you had to do and got by! :D Congratulations!

Well, I'm off to prepare my daily 2 eggs! :)

AloeGal

Just had my first meal today which is usually around 11-12.

Had my 3 cups of water..one with acv/lemon, another with acv/iodine/chlorophyll..well I guess it was only 2..hehe.

2 eggs scrambled in coconut oil after I sauted my asparagus in it with caneynne pepper sp? and some other seasonings with half of a matza sp? with butter on it.

Will be taking my supps. in a few.

I am thinking lunch will be around 3ish with a salad and sardines. I just got a temp. job busing tables that I am starting tonight. That will be good exercise too.

I look anorexia to some people I think or they are jealious but I eat a lot so don't know..maybe the iodine is helping my metabolism. I would like you guys to go to my myspace pics. and look at them and let me know if you think I look too thin. I think the people I know are just not use to seeing me that way..but even Jeff says I need to put on a few..but that maybe a preference for him..but then again parts of my body to me look to thin and others look ok.. I actually would like to look more muscular so I think I my look too thin like my muscles have shunk. :think: but my muscles seem ok. Actually I feel strong in someways. I will find out tonight when I bus the tables.

God Bless

In my case I don't think the anorexia began because of fungal issues....but it may have contributed to it. During that time the boyfriend I had was very thin and not much taller than me. I felt like I was bigger than him and it really bothered me, so I got to where I started skipping meals to lose weight, then sometimes I would binge and purge, then it just got to where I would hardly eat at all. I got smaller and in a weird way I was happy about it. It would thrill me when people would talk about how skinny I was.... but little did I know many people weren't saying it as a compliment. I think my big problems with fungus came in a little later with having to take antibiotics on a long basis for my adult acne, combined with very littel sleep, a whole lot of stress, a couple years of drinking alcohol in my wild days, and not eating right. (When I first moved out of my mom's house, there was over a year that I probably ate out about 90% of meals.)

I would be interested in reading some of the weigh down thoughts. Presently I'm not trying to lose weight... but I'm sure it would be good information that may help me in better eating habits.

I don't know what the laminate is actually made of. It's not linoleum though. It still smells so strong. I have the windows open today hoping to air out the house and I hope this smell doesn't last long. Blech!!

Thanks HB!

Most are made of petroleum by-products and chemicals. :sick: I am working toward all ceramic/tile floors. I prefer Saltillo (sal-tee-yo) tiles. Those big orange Mexican tiles. I hope to be placing in many rooms of the house.

This has gotten way off topic! ;) I don't mind if you guys don't or we could start a new thread....

On topic, off topic, it's all good to me - I don't mind. :)

B: Vanilla protein shake.

L: Beef and veggie stew.

D: Sardines

Drinks: water

And I'm treating myself today. Reason: it's Friday and I made it through the no chew week. Only four or five more sleeps to go.

Hey, I was anorexic on and off in high school and then in university. I had poor eating habits because I stayed away from home as much as possible because it was a bad environment.

And then in university my dad, boyfriend and best girlfriend used to call me fat whenever they would see me chow down on a big plate of food or if they could see the little bit of cellulite I had beneath my shorts, which is normal in even the skinniest or fittest.

I wasn't fat - the guys just liked my body better whenever I was taking dance classes and the girl was just jealous that I could be that skinny and mow on food. I was always between 106 and 110 pds but physically strong. Bunch of bone heads.

Then in university I hooked up with two other girls who starved themselves also - in fact I'm sure one was bulimic and so I was surrounded by how cool it was to be skinny and I remember weighing 96 pounds - yuck.

I eventually got a new boyfriend, gained weight and started dropping those toxic people from my life.

If only they could see me now. I'm in my late 30s so I could care less about body weight - mine or anyone elses (although I like to be at a healthy weight for health reasons) and I can eat more than my dh sometimes! Live and learn.

I'm happy being 150 pds give or take. :letseat:

Naes.
