Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 OK First center yourself. No good will come of you giving up! It willmake you feel worse. Just understand that you will havebad days and thats ok..just start anew tomorrow. And as far as your MIL My opinion...they are your kids too and your kids and your right to protect them.. HOWEVER if your husband is in agreement with you and wants to be the one to confront her then let him..but if he doesnt I would!!!!! We all put ourselves on the back burner..we are women...mothers...wives.... kelly Http://knittingandthings.blogspot.com http://kellyscreativejewelry.blogspot.com http://davesnewsandreviews.blogspot.com BUY AVON FROM ME HERE (no matter where U live) http://www.youravon.com/kellydonovan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I wouldn't give up. That won't help. I'm starting over as well. I just wasn't doing very good. So, I decided I would put that in the past. It never happened. I would suggest just starting over. Try taking small steps. The first step I took was cutting out soda. I'm down to just a small cup a day. I treat it almost like a desert after lunch. As far as your MIL goes. If your DH is going to say something & you feel comfortable w/that. Good. If not, then I would say something. I'm not one for keeping quiet about things. But, I have had to hold my tongue w/in-laws before. However, this is a situation in which I would have to say something. Hope this helps. Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 , We all have multiple problems in our lives that challenge us: relationship problems, employment issues, poverty, physical and mental illness. It varies from person to person. If I had the power, this is what I would tell you to do: Every day eat breakfast. Every workday pack a lunch. The lunch must include a serving of fruit and at least a half serving of vegetable. Every day, sometime, whether before or after work, you will eat a decent meal that includes at least one serving of vegetables. Every day, grant yourself from morning to bedtime to drink up your 90 ounces of water. Add in whatever else you want. It's hard to tell people how to handle family problems, but as a rule, if sexual or physical abuse are involved the child must be protected and cease all relationship with the offender as well as notify the authorities. If the issue involves broken promises or emotional abuse, the child still must be protected. A grandparent's relationship with a child is not an entitlement. Limit access to protect the child. For work, they are probably used to you being a doormat. Do take some care of yourself. Eat every day those three meals so you have energy and are alert. When you feel some self respect, you will feel strong enough to approach the powers that be with your request. My 2 cents. KimB > I am so ready to give up right now.. I don't know what to do... I feel like I have so much going on right now and so much on me between work and home... I never put myself first... I'm always on the back burner while everything and everyone else comes first... I am soooooo upset with my MIL right now and I don't know how to handle it... Part of me wants to confront her (she hurt my child her granddaughter) part of me is saying let my DH handle it.. and part of me is just leave it alone... I hate my schedule at work.. I know there should be a shift bid and I can finally get my earlier schedule, probably within 2 months but I dont know if I can take it that long.. My eating has gotten way out of control, I dont even know where to begin if I should start over or just give up until my life gets more under control... I'm at a loss as to what to do.. > > > > > --------------------------------- > Celebrate 's 10th Birthday! > Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 take one day at a time. And one thing at a time. First MIL we most all have one. You love them one minute and then the next OMG... You do not explain the situation. BUT if it is something severe let hubby take care of it. Its his mom. OR if it is something DD can take care of with guidance from mom or dad. Start recording your food. Even if it is to much food. Do one thing a day for yourself. 5 min in the bathroom alone. As odd as it sounds I keep a book, a handheld game and a cross word in the draw of the bathroom. Even if I dont have to go I sometimes go to the bathroom for 5 min of peace. OK sometimes 10min. Also dont forget taking stairs, go for a 10 min brisk walk, listen to music on a walk man, or anything that helps clear your mind from working your crazy hours. And just keep thinking soon soon... You can do this I know you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have been doing the Iodoral for almost 3 months now. Between the itching and the headaches I am ready to give up. I felt better before I started. I am starting to lose hair again and the itch is unbearable. I felt bad before but now I look like a skeletan walking around. My face is gaunt, skin looks awful and the itch is too much. This has been going on for two weeks now. I am embarrassed to elave the house I read about all these symptoms and I wonder how we can be really sure they are die off symptoms and not a toxic reaction to the iodine? I guess I am looking for some reaSSurance so I know this will end and how long it takes. Is it life long that I will ave to deal with die-off symptoms? Will I ever look and feel better? Sorry to be so needy folks but I just feel so crappy and look even worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I wonder why you decided to only take 1 Iodoral and not increase the dose? I had to increase the iodine to 100mg to feel well. Gracia >> Marcie-> > Thanks for your response.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Me too. I eat lots of coconut cream, oil and flakes which is high in fat. I drink heavy cream from raw milk. I do consume butter as well. I use Olive Oil in cooking as well as the coconut oil. I also consume lots of nuts. I am 30 lbs lighter than I was at the beginning of the year. I do not have as many cravings as I used to and stay full longer. Re: Re: Ready to give up In a message dated 12/25/2008 6:27:06 P.M.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 It's interesting isn't it. Before I was about 30 lbs heavier. I was on a starvation low cal 1200 calorie no fat diet and could not lose a lb. Then I did Atkins briefly and lost 10 lbs immediately. I know Atkins is not healthy but I shun diets now that are starvation low fat diets because they don't work. When I first started taking the iodine I was eating 1200 calories a day mostly non fat foods. Have made some radical changes to my diet. I eat meat, pork and chicken and keep the skin on and chose fatty cuts of meat. I eat salmon when I can with the skin on. I eat about 2 avocados a day. I did try eating nuts one day but I have to be careful there because I bought 1 b of cashews and ate the whole bag. I can't seem to stop. I haven't had any decaf coffee or diet soda in over a week now. I use the sea salt in warm water twice a day. The itching was a little better but comes and goes. I may try the baths. I take apple cider vinegar twice a day. I am juicing every morning carrots, beets, spinach, brocolli, ginger, apple and orange. I eat some cheese Lots of steamed green beans, cauliflower and broccoli. I guess I should start sauteing in olive oil. I will look for the coconut oil as well. How do you use that? I should probably add some grains but they won't add any fat to my diet. So my calorie intake is about 700 calories higher now, around 1800-2000 and I find I lost 2 lbs and now am maintaining. I know this is because I am not eating too many refined carbs. Staying away from the ice cream and gluten free cookies. I think you guys are right about toxins being stored in fat and if I don't have any fat on me then it will make it harder. On Wednesday I felt like I turned a little corner. Prior I was feeling like I was dying, just awful....constant headache, eyes felt glazed over. As of yesterday I only had a minor headache and that glazed sensation is gone (knock wood) I had reduced my Iodoral dosage to 1 and yesterday didn't take any. I am using the theory that I need to give my kidneys a break. I may start up again tomorrow with 1 Iodoral and work my way back up. I just needed a break physically and emotionally as I also looked like death and was embarrassed to go out because my face was contorted in pain. I am sure I have far to go after years of abusing my own body. Thank you everyone for your support, encouragement and good advice. I appreciate it Jenn > > Me too.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 It's not crazy Marcie, it's what Atkins used to preach. I don't want to get into an argument with people about how unhealthy Atkins is, (I agree it can be) but I do agree with you. The more calories I eat, provided it is not in the form of refined carbs, the more weight I lose. But the calories can't be in the form of sugar so that means I have to watch the nuts, rice and other grains. For the people here having trouble losing weight, I would love to know what you are actually eating. /Could be you are not eating enough and starving your body or you are eating too many carbs and not enough fat?? =0 > A > > > > > From: jennkramer1974 <jennkramer1974@> > > > Subject: Ready to give up > > > iodine > > > Date: Wednesday, December 24, 2008, 9:10 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I have been doing the Iodoral for almost 3 months now. > > > > > > Between the itching and the headaches I am ready to give up.
