I blog every day. However I have to admit, some days I have no idea what to say. I just start writing and whatever comes out, comes out. I ended up putting a title on it at the very end. Today is one of those days. I can write about packing and how tired I am, but I think I’ve expressed that I’m about 8 blog posts already. I made an appointment with my neurologist on Thursday to discuss what…
Very frustrating. I’ve now done two separate blood work tests and no answers. The bloodwork my neurologist requested showed six different deficiencies in all my B cells which was expected. That’s what Ocrevus, my main medicine for MS, is suppose to do. The rest of the panel including my thyroid was fine. Two days later bloodwork was drawn from my OB/GYN. Here I was checking to see if I was possibly in pre-menopause. When she called me she informed me…
I’ve been on weight watchers now for over a month, I’ve lost a total of a pound. I’d love to explain what was going on, but I can’t. I’d lose one week and gain the next week. I’ve been tracking my food, staying away from sugar, and not cheating. There’s no answer to what’s happening. In all honesty, it’s one of the reasons I stopped being vegan. I really thought I was gaining weight because I was eating too many…
I gave it a good year but now I’m putting on weight and I have no idea why. I joined weight watchers and the first week I lost weight but then the last two weeks, I’ve gained. I track everything. I measure my portions. I even cut out sugar. I don’t get it. So I’m trying something new this week. I’m cutting out the carbs and seeing what happens. I know I sound crazy. I’ve been a vegan for a…
In meditation and my prayers I’ve been trying to change the way I see myself, change my body image perception and my ideal goal numbers. I compare myself to everyone and never in a positive way. I am the most critical of myself and I am the most critical of myself in body image and weight. I always have an answer, excuse a criticism when I look in the mirror, so I basically stopped looking from my neck down. I…
I came home from physical therapy, completely spent. I put on the television and there was an infomercial on for the Veggie Bullet. Within 13 seconds I was online checking it out. I use a Cuisinart food processor that I received as an engagement gift. Let’s just say that if I was still married, yesterday, May 25, would’ve been my 21st Anniversary. So the Cuisinart was an engagement gift which was easily received a year before that. It mostly works fine…
This is me, raw, no makeup, in my pjs, I may have brushed my hair. This is my blog. This is my journey. However, I always hope that I help someone. I hope somebody can relate to this. I hope I can connect. But in the end I write for me. Today this blog is about me. Today I’m setting forth my intentions in a contract to myself. I wrote a blog not too long ago that me and my issues…
My daughter stepped on the scale and was 5-6 pounds lighter. My daughter, who is normal and not obsessed with the scale as her mom, doesn’t weigh herself often. She has no reason to, she’s very thin, looks wonderful in everything, she’s 17. Her mother, on the other hand, has finally learned to limit herself to once a week. However when her daughter weight was so low, I needed to check the scale myself. It was the same as four days…
I battled with my weight my entire life. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998. My neurologist’s letter to my primary care physician said, Jamie is a heavy set patient in her mid twenties, blah blah blah. I remember the physical therapy place I first went to had this computer bike. One time something wasn’t working right and the therapist said to another therapist that it happens only when a heavier person goes on. When I was in 6th…
I am my own worst enemy. It really is a joke. I keep the scale away to prevent my own sabotage but all that really happens is the sabotage is put off. I knew I was down weight so I stepped upon the evil scale. Again I wasn’t technically down weight just back to my normal weight I usually am. Still not taking off an ounce of the 20lb I still want to loose BUT did take off the few…
