Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 I also like the internet because people do see us as we are inside the real us without the " baggage " attached to bodies and sizes. However, it seems that people either " cotton " to me or think I am too " blunt. " I do tend to say what I am thinking which does get me in trouble at times!!!!! Anyway, I never once imagined you as overweight! I also didn't realize how tall you are. (When one is 5 " 2 " and shrinking, I have lost two inches in a year due to spondylosis, 5' 10 " is TALL!!!!) I was picturing in my mind someone with red hair, about 5' 5 " and around 140 to 150 pounds. Most of all I have admired your pluck and ability to make lemonade out of lemons. You are opinionated, a fine quality in my book but you also listen to others. I know what it is like to deal with multiple disabilities and chronic illnesses even though mine are different than yours. I think you are remarkable and have thought that since I met you on another list that we were both on briefly last summer. Ah the internet, we really are anonymous is ways aren't we! Cheers, Ardee-ann PS--Loved the pictures of Zeke, he looks like one spoiled pup! Reminds me of a few rotten hounds who live around here!

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 always said I didn't eat enough to " choke a cat " . , My husband always said that I didn't eat enough to " feed a bird. " However, I always reminded him that I'm certainly not skinny, so I must be getting enough food :-) I'm hypothyroid -- on medication, but can't tolerate a full dose, so that probably has something to do with it. I'm sure the prednisone has something to do with your gaining weight, as a friend of mine is on it, and she used to be very slim until the prednisone -- she had a double lung transplant.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 This is in response to the " feed a bird " remark...people always used to say that to me until I kept reminding them that birds can eat up to three times their body weight in one day.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Until I got diabetes, I had no idea how to lose weight. I ate very balanced, good meals.....according to the American Dietetics Association. I even ate small portions. Years ago, I lost 30 lbs. on Weight Watchers, and I think that helped me.... not the foods exactly, as there are too many carbs in the WW plan, but writing everything down, taking notes, and weighing... all part of WW.
