Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 , The more I think about what you've posted about your health problems the more I see a similarity in what happened to me. Twenty something years ago I had a motorcycle wreck and fractured C3. about 10 years later C3 and C4 had started to slide accross each other compressing the spinal cord and nerves in that area. This sliding was like stacking two checkers together (C3 and C4) and then the top one sliding off of the bottom one. It was causing me a lot of numbeness and breathing difficulties. I ended up getting a posterior cervical spinal fusion with Halifax clamps. This fixed almost all of the problems. This might be something you'd like to ask your doctor about.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 My intention for today is tolerance. I have been trying to focus on self care in the morning to set myself up for day. Up at 5:30 to do yoga, I am bombarded by my animals who want my attention, my dog whipping me with his toy as I am working to hold plank. My 1 cat crying for attention as I try to sit in meditation. I finally give up and decide to take the dog for a walk it's 6am now and my daughter gets up crying for me while my husband is groping me.... Talk about sabatoge! It's enough to to motivate myself but to have roadblocks in your path the entire way is just so frustrating! Maybe this is a luxury problem but something that really effects me and can and sometimes does lead me to over eat b/c I feel I have no control. I didn't today instead I made a smoothie. Sharing this does help me to put things into perspective. Anyone have experiences like this? Thanks for letting me share.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 .....yes I totally understand!!!  This does sound like one of my mornings. Glad you could ultimately do something healthy for yourself despite all of the roadblocks.   Livingston ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Thu, June 23, 2011 8:23:08 AM Subject: Today  My intention for today is tolerance.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I don't think it's a luxury problem--it's a normal part of life with other living beings--whether it's partner, kids, pets, or parents.... You need time for yourself, but everyone else's needs are... I dunno, I get a picture of bumping auras. Or maybe it's more like being a magnet, and everyone around you is iron, and they just come zooming into your field.... One thing that helps me is to try stop seeing this as a " roadblock " . It's not something blocking my journey--it's part of my journey. For instance, with the dog--when I view walking the dog as something that gets in the way of everything else I want to accomplish in my minimal morning time--I feel annoyed and resentful. When I decide that even though I'd prefer to be doing something else, this time is for *me*--I tend to find myself soaking in the beauty of the morning. I'm more likely to notice a late-blooming flower, or a trill of birdsong, or be aware of the scent of rosemary on the wind. Same with children needing attention. When I can be in the present with them, instead of worrying about past or future, I'm more likely to feel renewed instead of drained. Actually, when my girls were around 3-4 and I was working from home, I found that if I halfheartedly listened to them while trying to continue my work, my work suffered *and* they were more needy. If I stopped working and gave them my full attention--they were much more likely to go off on their own after a fairly short time. Higher productivity, happier kids, happier me.... Of course, the problem is *remembering* that I need to view the activity as *my* time. With some things--like time spent with my own daughters--it's pretty natural (but they're teenagers now--it's communication time, not physical time). With other activities, I need to set my intention ahead of time to be renewed.Like with the 10-yo girl who spends time with us once a month. (Last time was much better--thanks for all the support, everyone!.) The more I remember to do this, the easier it gets.... Hang in there! ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Thu, June 23, 2011 4:23:08 PM Subject: Today My intention for today is tolerance.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 My intention today is to eat a healthy lunch. Lately, I am feeling sad and weepy. In these moods I find it hard to take care of myself.  I don't tend to binge, I tend to restrict or eat crap rather than taking care of my fuel needs. Not too much to say about this.... But I will fix myself a healthy lunch and eat it.   Livingston ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Fri, June 24, 2011 10:33:58 AM Subject: Re: Today  I don't think it's a luxury problem--it's a normal part of life with other living beings--whether it's partner, kids, pets, or parents....

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 , I'm sorry you have been feeling sad and weepy. Is something specific going on? Maybe it would help you to write about it? I have been feeling down, and I think it's just that time of the month... It is so easy to turn to junk food to make us feel better (although it really doesn't do the job). Remember to take care of yourself first! You are worth it! M > > > ** > > > > > > My intention today is to eat a healthy lunch. > > > > Lately, I am feeling sad and weepy.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Avie, Do you feel hungry when you start binging or are you feeling bored / overwhelmed / sad? I'm just wondering if it is an issue of stopping before you are overly full or if it is that you are not even hungry and just eating emotionally?
