Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Glad to see other people have peak flow areas in the same as mine. I average between 400-450. When I have a chest cold it is usually around 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi Rhonda, I CANNOT have these things in stock either. I will find all sorts of excuses, like visitors, the grand kids might turn up yadda yadda but basically I buy this junk for myself...I love it. SOOOOOOOOO the secret is don't stock it. If I'm out and I want a Crunchy (for eg) I buy it and eat it but if I was having it for stock I would buy a whole bag full and still eat it. So I don't punish myself for an icecream but I would if I ate a tub, a chocolate is okay, a block is a no go etc. What is happening to you happens to the bigger percentage of us re sweets. Re the restriction, I can't work it out and no longer try to. If I eat a full beast and vegies today and can't swallow a spoon of soup tomorrow I just accept that is how it is. By the way, sweets and icecream float down no probs. for all of us. If you're having a bad time, that is when you need us to reassure and encourage you, don't hide away persecuting yourself. Tomorrow is another day, one day at a time, and your best effort each day is way good enough. Best wishes, Maree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Just to clarify my earlier post, more restriction will help stop you eating too much 'good' food it will NOT help with the 'junk' food. It floats on it's own stream so to speak, we can all get the junk down. I know that is hard to accept and so is the fact the junk food is up to yourself to control but as I said, your suggestion of just not having it in the house is the best solution I have found. If I'm out and I'm wanting it I never deny myself but I don't bring any home and I never go out specifically to satisfy an urge to buy some.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 If the file is in PDF format, there are various utility programs that can combine separate PDF files into one multipage file.For Windows, there is PDF Combine (http://www.top-shareware.net/PDF_Combine.html), to name one.For Macs, there is Combine PDFs (http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/Freeware/CombinePDFs.shtml).Or you can do a Google search for other programs. I have no experience with the Windows program, but the one for Macs works as advertised (plus it's free).

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I was wondering why I receive all the emails from the list to this email address, yet I have no access to the Yahoo Group. Can you help me with this, as the yahoo group, does not recognize my mts.net. do I have to sign up for another account. The Yahoo Group does not seem to recognize my hotmail account either. Thanks for any help you can offer. Sil physio@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
