Thanks >> hey pick one of our 21 dc's starting Monday (or two or three or four of them) 21 day challenge is a way of trying to make something a daily habit by doing it 21 days straight: Tae-Bo (even if the 8 minute work-out) 64 oz water healthy food choices (not a diet) sucking in abs whenever you can Barb whose healthy food choices will be to try to minimize fat, keep small portions except salads, and increase fiber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your eating disorder a constant over eating or something to do with obsessive compulsion. I'm a big obsessive compulsive. I'll be good for a while and then I have one cookie...then I must have the bag. Whats horrible is I try to be good and eat one or two cookies, but then I keep coming back to the kitchen for one or two more. So I just dont buy them or allow them into my house anymore. My fiance has to hide chocolate for me and dole it out like an allowance. I went through all the cycles of anorexia in high school and now I'm on the binge eating thing. But I honestly am feeling much better and after sticking to Taebo for a year I really feel like I have control of my body and excercise and I eat better..not great. This next year I am going to focus more on the eating part of it. You say you have a hectic schedule, many of us here can emphathize with that. Just remember that if you don't have an hour don't blow off a workout all togethoer 10 minutes here, twenty there add up and are better than nothing. Soon you'll have more energy and will be able to do more in less time and maybe clear some room for more taebo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 1999 Report Share Posted December 31, 1999 Honeybear, All my weight is pregnancy wieght, too..........from having 3 kids in a row. This is a good group. Don't give up. If you can work out 4-5 times a week you should eventually see results. We're pulling for you. Luci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hi, I don't have any info on the Doctor you mentioned, but I wanted to comment on your statement about what the therapist told you being reluctant to diagnose before age three. This is a common myth that you need to wait, there is a CHAT test that has shown greater than 80% accuracy in diagnosing Autism (or PDD) at 18 months of age. There are questions in this test for both the Doctor and the parent. You can find a copy of this test at: http://www.featnt.org/info/chattest.asp <http://www.featnt.org/info/chattest.asp> I am the webmaster for this site and it has been up and down the last couple of days due to that LoveSan Worm. If you have any trouble reaching this page, go to google and search for the " CHecklist for Autism in Toddlers " test, or CHAT test for short. Don't be afraid of a " label " , if your child has this condition, people are going to label your child when they see them anyway whether the label is official or not. But getting an official diagnosis (or " label " ) can benefit you and your child by qualifying your child for services they might not receive otherwise. And then, with early intervention, hard work and a little luck, you may be able to help your child progress tio the point where the Autism or PDD is not noticeable to the average person and THEN the label will be inconsequential anyway!

I have a 27 month old who has not officially been diagnosed b/c the therapist I work with don't believe in diagnosing/labeling before age three. I thought I agreed with this, but now realize that I do not. If I had to " label " , I feel Hannah would be PDD-NOS. After her 18 month vaccinations she lost her language and sociability, among other things. I have been working with her myself and that seem to be helping. I also started her on the gfcg diet have seen pretty dramatic results in a hurry (we've been on the diet 3 weeks now). I am waiting on a referral to Texas Children's...in the meantime, I came across Dr. Volpe(in Houston) as a DAN practitioner. I am considering paying him a visit and was wondering if anyone had any comments regarding his services. I feel that dietary intervention is a big part of Hannah's improvements and would like to continue this path. But, I don't want to leave any stone unturned, so I am looking at any and all avenues! I live in , TX which is pretty much 2 hours from Houston,Austin,Corpus Christi,San . Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Brandee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hi Hope, Thank you so much for your response. It opened my eyes to the SCDiet which I had never heard of before. Has the GFCF diet been helpful to you? Are you switching because of the " addiction " to starches?? Like I said, I am new to this arena and I have seen improvements in the 1sy three weeks of this diet, but I just don't want to leave anything out. Your input has been extremely helpful and very much appreciated! Sincerely, Brandee Re: new to this Hi Brandee, My son received the same services before and after receiving his official asd diagnosis (a little after his third b-day) which were not enough. He was totally gone and in his own world in my opinion. He has been GFCF, low soy, low sugar and low phenol for almost four years. Since he is pretty much on the SCDiet (www.pecanbread.com) with the exception of the Goat Yoghurt, I am now changing his diet. During the past six months he has become a real carb addict and has not been eating any meat or vegetables, I think the carbs are only feeding his yeast problem. I do not want to keep using nystatin so I will restrict his carbs to carbs that supposedly are readily digestible (medium chain and short chained as opposed to long). I am just learning so I will probably make a lot of mistakes. My son also lost his speech and became asd at about 18 months. I have not ruled out the weakened live viruses in the vaccines as causing some of his problems and have been thinking of seeing Dr Randall in Austin TX. Dr Megson's research on EFA helped my son (www.megson.com). As did Dr Horvath's (Univ of MD in Baltimore) research on secretin. If you need for me to find Dr s website info, let me know.
