Michele, so good to hear from you again. I don't know if you read my journal but I am frequently editing the entries. I have been having a hard time lately with my eating and I know part of it is not working and not exercising due to the back problem. I have been to the Y 2 times to stretch in the water, but I need some routine. I don't know if it's the time of the year or what but the boards are quiet. I like the "view unread posts" so I can check quickly and see if there is anything new. I don't think the edits show up though. Did you see the descendants? I think it's true what he said in the beginning about "people think Hawaii is a paradise where you don't have any problems." Dealing with a food addiction is the same everywhere!! It cunning and baffling and you think you are doing OK and Bam, someone trying to be nice brings you cinnamon rolls or you get attacked by satan disguised as a bag of roasted nuts with not any kind of salt, BUT SEA SALT!! Your mind wanders back to the beach and it's party time and they throw in a few macadamia nuts to make it a Hawaiian beach party. We kindred spirits, with active imaginations can go on a lot of side trips in our active minds. As far as surgery goes it's not worth it!! I have seen too many people who are thin and miserable because they have messed up the body that God created. I love to eat and this WOE works most of the time for me because I don't feel deprived. That's the trouble with so many plans, it weighing and measuring, and SELF CONTROL, if I had self control, I wouldn't be fat, but I have God in my life and God loves me fat or thin and wants me to prosper and be in good health, Jer. 29:11-13. Your relationship with God must come first, then your relationship with people. Sometimes our relationship with food gets in the way, like Eve and the forbidden fruit. It separates us from God. The answer is simple, but not easy. Don't join weight watchers, until you look up Overeaters Anonymous.
There are no dues and fees, and it works with the addiction to food. Food is not "good or bad" it's just fuel for the body. We have to find what works for our body. God has provided so much for us and the devil has genetically modified organisms, so they affect our body differently than God intended. I know flour and sugars are not good for my body. I have a family history of Alcoholism on both sides of my family, and alcohol is the most processed form of sugars and grains. I must take it seriously or I can have serious health problems. Some members of my family hit the lottery of good genes and are not alcoholics or fat, but very few and they still have problems in their lives. Oh well, enough about me. You take care of yourself, prosper and be in good health. And like you told me, "it ain't gonna happen overnight." Live, laugh and love my sweet friend. You are a joy to all who know you.
PS click on breakfast foods and see Jencita's LDL pancakes, you will love them!!

[LINDA RN]

Please stay the course Michelle Give it more time
I know how you feel about so wanting to be thinner, you have to believe it will happen.
Who knows why some people's metabolism are so slow.
Mine was and took 5 months on LDL to drop any weight, then after loosing about 40 lbs (took about a year) I ended up on a stall lasting about 18months.
This is a healthy way of eating and worth doing for your health.
You will find yourself reshaping even when the scales are not moving.
Stress is the biggest obstacle to weight loss and sounds like you have more than your share.
Unfortunately, quitting your job and school may not benefit you, so find other avenues.
A one day a week fruit and soup flush is an option;
Or a day of partial fasting. It depends on what works best for your body.
Constant grazing....stress eating works against me.
However, if it is only LDL foods, I don't gain.
I too have friends and family using surgical intervention to loose weight and they have also bought a lifetime of huge medical problems such as anemia and bowel obstruction. This slower healthier plan is the wisest choice.

[Singforjesusmichele]

Aloha everyone.....
Today is much better.......I was very careful on my life plan and healthy as much as possible......how are you O? How r u Linda? To or row I weigh in ...every Monday.....and so..... Praise The Lord either way.....
Going to read the red book again...and find inspiration and more things I didn't see. Also, I am going to order some supplements that are suppose to help burn my lovely fat on drugstore.com I guess..I hate to go to gnu because I think they have too many binders in their vitamins.....but maybe I will have to.... I have the coconut oil and going to get raw almonds..no more roasted as the fat molecule is digested into not smooth fat...per dr. Pomery. Also, going to walk the dog or dance around my bedroom 15 min or 5 minutes....blast my karaoke and see if I can trim down ....the weather is cold over here in Hawaii...none of my friends wanna swim in the rain.....what's a girl to do......I'm still studying all weekend for the college classes....and sleep a lot and feel like I am losing the entire weekend to sleep....but it gives me the power to kill work and school and driving back and forth to Honolulu everyday, raise my beautiful daughter and make visits with my mother during the week. I must say I am feeling like the walking dead, but I bet as the weight burns off, I will get more energy....our fearless leader said so......so here I am God......I surrender my food to you...even tho it feels like its SOOO much to lose.....but the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step....perhaps I should say the journey of 180 steps is one step at a time.........I must focus on the results, the healthier me coming.....my father once told me, he has past away or should I say is forward into heaven, sweetheart, once you lose that weight you're whole life will be different........i do miss having a bf. and being married, true, and my daughters , all but one is moved out and happily married, so my time to be alone is coming around the corner........I would love it. If God would allow me to have my mate by then. One thing I always remember, is that all feelings are temporary...loneliness will not be in the kingdom of God with us...after all it isssss heaven.........I look forward to having a heavenly body that does NOT. look like an Italian sausage....eheheheheh......success today......cauliflower....lean white meat, broccoli soup..... Decaf coffee, orange juice no sugar added and my concentrated minerals in 10 drops......what else? Pop corn....and research continues for simple natural cures to aid Weightloss. Love to all.....slaying my dragons daily in Jesus name........Michele

So good to hear from you. Daughters are wonderful, are they not? When I look back at the years of raising them and think about the headaches and stress, I wonder "what was so bad about that?" and I hear my daughter complain about the house not staying clean. The only way a house will stay clean is if nobody lives in it, it may get dusty, but everything stays in place. I was single for 6 years and didn't really appreciate the freedom till after I remarried my 1st husband, then I remembered why I divorced him. I was married the 2nd time for 30 yrs. and went through a painful divorce on my part. He found someone else to stroke his Ego. The most important relationship you have is with God and then you have to love yourself and let God's love for you define your character and not society or family and friends. You will make it, listen to your body and let God guide you in this process of improving your health. You are a wonderful person and God will always be with you. Be careful of following the latest fat loss pills and herbs, what works for one person may not work for you, they are expensive, and you don't always know what the long term or even short term side effects are. You know, some healthy looking thin persons do drop dead and everyone is surprized. Your weight is not the most important thing about you. Stay in there, you are doing the right things, some of us are just late bloomers, but we are still blooming long after the other flowers are faded and gone. Keep that Aloha spirit. Luv ya, Lani

[LINDA RN]

Be careful of even raw nuts. Michele.
Since I had arrived at a more comfortable weight, I heard about the benefits of raw nuts also.
Quickly went through a whole bag of raw cashews which spiked the cravings and now 10 lbs later I am struggling to get the weight back off.
Like Roger says, there is a difference between eating healthy, and eating healthy to loose weight.

[omalani]

Michele, remember when you wrote me this: Something good is going to come, and the enemy is ticked off! You have a wonderful mission life ahead of you, and he knows that...but for every bad thing the devils gonna throw at you-you just tell him your gonna bring another soul to Christ! HA! HA! HA! .......hang tight and hold on Batgirl! It aint over til then fluffy lady is thin , baby!
It is so true. We make assumptions on what we see in this sin damaged world, but read Ephesions 6:12, "We don't wrestle against flesh and blood...." In 1st Corinthians 13 it says: we see through a veil, we only see a dim or blurred vision of reality. Our knowledge and wisdom is fragmentary, incomplete and imperfect. But when the complete and perfect comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish. God gives us glimpses of His Kingdom and what will come, but don't forget this is a battle my warrior friend. It is a fight to the finish, so don't go into the enemy's camp and lay your weapons down. "hang tight and hold on" You gonna win girl!! You are God's child and His Holy Spirit is in you! Jesus walks with you. When you see 1 set of footprints, that's when He carried you, that long groove is where He pulled you kicking and screeming.he he But once you give Him permission to come into your heart, He's not going to let go until you change your mind and ask Him to leave. So don't whine like I do sometimes but recommit your life to Him and He clears away the wreakage of the past and you get a 2nd chance. But 2nd chances are unending because when He forgives our sins, He forgets them. The reminders come from "not-yo-friend" Satan! So when you fall to temptation, step into that Mercy clearing and let God pick you up and dust you off and start all over again with His help. Love you Michele and I read the last chapter, we gonna win girlfriend!! See you there, if not before.

The LDL community reminds me of Hebrews 12:1 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside (lose) every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us and run with patience the race that is set before us." We have so many who have done it, made it to skinnytown, but we have to give the glory to God. Those witnesses encourage us, but we don't depend on them, we rely on the God who created us and loves us. He created all the wonderful foods that sustain us, but He also gave us the power of choice, and freedom. Let's celebrate God today and always. Stay with Him through thick and thin. Love you dear Michele in Hawaii.

[omalani]

Haven't heard from you in a few days so I thought I would check in. I'm in a stall, but that is better than gaining! It seems like I eat a lot and I am rarely hungry. I am being transferred to day shift in medical records Monday. I talked to the Director of Nursing, who says she had no part in this debacle. She was so helpful in introducing me to my new boss in Medical Records. She offered to get the paperwork started so I can pick it up in the morning and take it to my Dr. He can release me to duty in M.R. because I will mainly be sitting and going through records to code the charges. I get to learn some new skills, but my DH said "They won't let you do kids records." He makes a joke out of everything!!
It may work out to be a blessing because I eat during the day, so this will keep me busy. Also if the government defaults like it did in the Clinton era and I get furloughed, I will be nonessential and will get to stay home and then get back pay when Congress decides to quit playing games and do their job. I had to work with out pay last time they pulled that stupidity!! What are you going to be when you grow up Mich?? Have you ever thought of politics? You are smart, you are kind and darnit people just like you!! Hope you are not having too many problems at work, they are soooo lucky and blessed to have you. Take if yourself and Baby Girl and drop a line if you find some extra time in the day. Aloha, Lei

[Singforjesusmichele]

Ok......so here I am in Hawaii...land of palm trees and balmy breezes.....
I'm so glad you got a job that UR ok with...coding......welcome to my world...I do that too for my psych doctor and run the office.......fun! Fun! Fun! Til YU daddy takes your T-bird. Away.......song)
So my assistant bri is quitting to work as a receptionist for her mom who is a nurse . she says our patients are crazy are too dang rude. And dr y. is mean.. What a surprise! so.....I did pamper and spoil her with free breakfasts on Fridays and free lunches from me during the week and yet she still is leaving..I feel sad and betrayed and alone again in that demon plagued office...things tap me on the shoulder on the same side where there is a wall.!.....My doc has a golden Buddha, the size of a large teddy bear, in his office. People from off the street , who sell drugs for money ,walk in all the office all the time.....in hopes of getting a Prescription to fill and sell to make money..They have dark fingers stained with dirt from living on the street. My doc is super honest and he would never give any of them a Rx without insurance and proper steps but the clientele is a bit challenging. She is only 19 So they may trip her out...and her mother probably figured she could get a better job somewhere else and I guess she did.

About the hauntingly in the office.... I carry my anointing oil to bless the office continually so those demonic spirits that try to scare me have to go exercising them out.in Jesus name......it just gets spooky when I'm alone in mid day and doc is off to another clinic that treats with Methodone and suboxone addicts........we do have doc and nurses, lawyers , policemen, firemen,.judges ,everyone who has issues with addiction or pain management . .....it's a tiny office high in the sky with a huge picture window for my doc to sit in. .the pay my receptionist got was 12 per hour... what does a receptionist make over there?
Hey omalani, I can see the Pali hwy and see the gray clouds roll in..kinda spooky from the mountain range, grey rainy clouds rolling in......kind of like castle grey skull, rain hitting the huge picture window amidst shelves of medical files still stored in paper form....(not scanning yet to store electronically..).......
Next, I have a winey almost step son tattle-tailing every move I make, like a cry baby spy, working right next to me in my little office,..tall slim Chinese fellow about 23 years old.... This wears a woman down man.!...if ya know what I mean.......so....
I'm home with my sick daughter today she as a fever and looks like a zombie..those are so in style now! Organic Split pea soup with red and green peas, an onion, bay leaf, one peeled potato, chicken cube stock , celery tops, petite carrots. And I made a lemon chicken last night...whole chicken stuffed with two quartered lemons. And sea salt and white pepper and coconut oil baked covered for one hour, then opened foil then bake 30 more minutes to brown. Helps reduce liquid too.......learning on how to cook for let's do da lunch.......gotta keep things chopped up and ready or you won't withstand that hunger attack......still down four widdle pounds.....but that's 16 cubes of butter.!!!...Yey team michele..........Daughter in Nebraska gonna pop with 2nd grandchild. April 30..... Missing her....she's blue and missing me...vice versa....
I am studying like a crazy woman....burnt out. Spelled with a t. Like burntttttttt.......oscars were boring, clothes ok, nothing special really, why do they ALL dress like the gold statue?.....what a surprise!
Hilarious Khoe kardashian says about how hurtful and mean people are about her weight....her huge size 6/8..yet she grimaces and insists she was maybe as incredibly huge and grossly fat at size 10 or 12. Once ..mourning her fathers death....
Ok so the rest of us are just fat pigs.........fat for no good reason......pleaseeee girlll!!!! Reallllllllly Khloe?
You were sooooooo big........so I guess ht makes us hideous cow people.??? Such a classic double standard ! Such B......S........ if they get any thinner, they will disapper if they turn sideways! ......so obvious...... that their new Sears ...PLUS SIZE CLOTHING line Is coming out right now.......hilarious...... Wow. Weren't they so fat.....oh...my.......poor hideous things...can u bear it? Ohhhhhhhhhhh! "We are embracing our curves...." Um.....excuse me...... YOUR SIZE SIX CURVES.........? What???. Are you guys for real? Come onnnnnnnn! You guys are soooooo out of reality! Forget reality show! You're out f it.......hey I like money too.......but really? If your going to do plus size........DO PLUS SIZE! Let me help you...that would be ..sizes...........10. 12 14 16 18 20 22 24. And hey.....here's an idea.........26. 28. 30. ????????? How about our sisters who are struggling with ugly Coe dresses and need lovely things so disappointing.........so much power....so little good getting accomplished.... Vacations, parties, clothes, men, , money wasted.
We all are accountable for our wealth and how we help humanity.....OMG praying for them to do something amazing........ Love Michele And how was your week? Mahalo from Hawaii for reading....

[omalani]

So good to hear from you! They found a job for me that only requires sitting. The 30 days was up, so they can change my shift. I now work and sleep like a normal person. It helps, and I finished up my Physical Therapy today. I can do these exercises at home or at the YMCA. I did a bunch of core exercises and I'm a little sore tonight. I took my Torodol when I got home. I feel like I need another one. But good news, I'm down to a 31lb. loss. I feel so good, I don't care that I still have 70 lbs to lose. I can now bend over, tie my shoes and breathe at the same time! Very important to breathe. Oxygen is required by our bodies to burn fat. So I'm still writing my menus and editing the changes. Looking back I see that I lose more when I eat fish. I make tuna salad with sweet onions and SF sweet relish and a Tbs. Mayo. I use real mayo. because it has no sugar or starchy thickeners. I use less and get more flavor and it hasn't interfered with weight loss.
Keep letting your light shine in those dark places. Hope things get better for you. I respect your ability stay with it and hang in there. You are a treasure, God's precious Jewel. He has you in His hands and He ain't gonna let go!! I miss you when I don't hear from you and rejoice on days like today. Keep sticking with it and 4 lbs. will become 8 lbs, 8 will become 16 and on and on. The important goal is to have your health. Wish I had some magic pixie dust to make all our problems go away, but God's power is greater than magic, so we're covered with feathers, under His wings. Aloha sweet friend, catch you later. Lei

[Singforjesusmichele]

Aweeee so great to hear from u! Ok I will..........and awesome about your 31!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!see u tomorrow......m

[omalani]

Aloha Michhele and happy Monday
I pray we may both have a special March forth (pun intended) as we March into battle. This enemy the devil is searching around for those he can destroy. This is a good day for new beginnings and I am going to spend some time on the treadmill at work or walk around outside if weather permits. I know that something extrordinary is in store for us this week. Look for it and be well. Your LDL BFF Leilani

[omalani]

Tell me about your week, I'm sure it was a busy one because you are a busy gal. God has been there for me and I am not guilty of child abuse, I just need to be more careful about what I say. Sometimes I talk too much but don't say the right thing. Other times I don't communicate verbally but my actions give me away. I want to be a vessel God can use, but "I" have to get out of His way. You might say I have "I problems"! Life is going along as it always does, a lot of things are undone, but I don't live in the fast lanes anymore.
God bless you and keep you. Keep spreading your love around and throw off the weights of this world. Looking back, I think many things I thought were so important at the time were merely distractions. Don't be too hard on yourself sweetie. Enjoy your last little chickadee and your Mom too. Aloha, Lei

[omalani]

Where are you Batgirl??? I have been reading some of your old posts because I'm having withdrawal. Hope everything is OK in Hawaii, I've been playing Hawiian CD's here in OK. I think about you in the islands and hope the weather is being kind to you. It's been mighty cold in some places here in the mainland. Be good to yourself and that's an order!! Sweet Alohas, Lei

[omalani]

Hope you haven't given up, we all miss you. I know you will be back on the boards one day and we will be blessed by your notes from paradise. Wish I were there so we could walk on the beach and have a good talk.
Tell me what's eating you Michele.

[omalani]

Did the baby come early, it's almost April?? Miss you girl!!
Let us know what you are doing, OK!! I think this guy looks like your doctor -
Is your semester over yet?? "Waiting to exhale"
