WOO-HOOO FOR YOU, AMIGO! SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING GREAT! REMEMBER THAT YOUR REHAB AND LIFE IN GENERAL ARE A PROCESS....YOUR PHYSICAL REHAB AND WHAT YOU LEARN ABOUT FOODS/COOKING WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THEMSELVES TO ONLY INCREASE YOUR SUCCESS!

THANKS FOR THE TIP ON SEASONING WITHIN THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF COOKING. I WILL PUT THAT TO USE STARTING TODAY.

HI, NEEDWIFE! 

SOOOOOOOOOO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK ON THE BOARDS.  OFTEN WONDERED HOW YOU WERE DOING.  I SEE YOU'VE HAD A BIT OF A ROCKY ROAD BUT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GETTING BETTER.  HANG IN THERE!

I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T POSTED EARLIER BUT I, TOO, HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE BOARDS MUCH (READ A LITTLE BUT NOT MUCH POSTING).    I'VE BEEN A BIT "WEIGHT DEPRESSED".  GOT INTO ONEDERLAND LAST NOVEMBER BUT WENT BACK UP JUST INTO TWOTERVILLE AND CAN'T SEEM TO SHAKE IT (YOU KNOW THE YO-YO FROM 200.+ TO 204 AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET PAST 200).  I STILL HANG-IN-THERE BECAUSE I FEEL BETTER ON LDL BUT THE SCALE IS NOT COOPERATING.

BUT WE'LL ALL HANG-IN-THERE TOGETHER!

Ginny- I've missed you.  How about joining Julie and others on the LDL pure restart.  I bet you'd be back in Onderland before you knew what happened!  Pam

Hi Ginny,

Good to see you here with us again.  Yes, please do join us on the PURE thread.  It is sort of a group journal for some of us who are going back to basics to make sure we are on track.  (HI Pam!)

Julie

[Ginny M.]

Hi, Julie & Pam,

Thanks for missing me but I was never really gone, just not on as often or just read but not posted.    And I NEVER NEVER NEVER gave up LDL.    (If I did, I wouldn't fit through the door by now  ) But I think I may be eating TOO MUCH LDL  , you know, over eating from FULL to STUFFED!  I have to learn to BE HUNGRY when I eat and only EAT UNTIL FULL  -- NOT STUFFED!    I even began to Read the Book Again.    I did stray today and had some chocolate candy  (No, I did not Crave it, it was just Handy).  And you know, it REALLY DID MAKE ME SICK, my acid refux came back.  So maybe NOW my HEAD will start to realize my body does not Want or Need it.

Anyway,  I've missed you all, too.  All lot of it is "time".

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW I AM STILL ALIVE, LOL MY WEIGHT IS STILL  ABOUT THE SAME.

BUT I AM FEELING BETTER FROM ALL MY GYM VISITS AND THE BEST PART IS AFTER ALMOST 10 YEARS AWAY FROM FOOSBALL, A  GAME I HAVE PLAYED SINCE I WAS 10 YEARS OLD.

I STARTED PLAYING AGAIN AND ON THANKSGIVING WEEKEND I ENTERED THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE FOOSBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS .

IT WAS A 4 DAY EVENT, AND FOR 4 DAYS I STOOD UP AND PLAYED FOOSBALL.

I HAD TWO 5TH PLACE FINISHES AND A 9TH PLACE FINISHES, I WILL TAKE THAT AFTER A 10 YEAR LAYOFF.

THE POWER OF EXERCISE  IS  OVERWHELMING. I AM SLOWLY GETTING MY LIFE BACK.

IT IS NICE TO BE PART OF THE HUMAN RACE AGAIN. I HOPE EVERYONE IS OK.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A MERRY CHRISTMAS  AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR .  TTYL NEEDWIFE
