Hi Tahnee

regarding Yoga just make sure you do not have hyper mobility

Many people with fibro have it and stretching is actually bad for us.

I used to lift weights but would feel flu like symptoms the day after and could

not understand why I felt so bad...it was the fibro..

I do walk, garden, stationary bike, swim and light weights. I do everything in

moderation and if I feel okay the next day I do a bit more.

Ciao-

Subject: Re: Tahnee : How I changed my life from frantic

addiction to peace

Joanne,

I look forward to reading 's book. I also look forward to learning how to

recognize my fullness. For so long I tried to follow portion size or calories,

etc and since starting Bee's Diet a few months ago I sometimes am able to

recognize when I am full. Feeling full and content but not stuffed is a great

feeling.

Is the 12 step group you are apart of for carb addiction? I had been debating

whether to go to an OA meeting here (Overeaters Anonymous) for support and to

find other who struggle as well. I keep worrying that it will be mainly binge

eaters and not people who struggle with bulimia. So I haven't attended a meeting

yet. What are your thought on that? There is also a Bulimics Anonymous at the

same building my therapist is at.

I will work on getting all of Bee's supplements as soon as possible. I am up to

the recommended dose of Coconut oil, and I have the sea salt and vitamin C. I'm

sure that I can find a way to get them... the hardest part is convincing my

husband that I really do need them. He is tired of spending money trying to help

me " get better " because he thinks that nothing is working.

You said that the fats and meats are the most healing. Since that is true that

seems to make me think of the importance of getting grass fed meats and free

range eggs. Do you make sure all your food is grass fed or organic?

I would LOVE to have a garden. My mom has been gardening for years and grows all

the fruits/vegetables that my family eats. As soon as my husband and I have a

house I am planning on gardening. Too bad it gets so cold here in the winter so

the only time people can garden is during the spring and summer.

It's scary to think about exercise as making my problem worse!! My entire life I

hear about exercise being so good for you and everyone is telling you how you

have to do it and they make you feel guilty if you don't... I'm learning a lot

of things that I've grown up hearing are false. I always thought " whole grains "

were important and then learned how horrible they really are when I found Bee's

site. When I was vegan for 2 years I ate tons and tons of whole grains. And I

somehow never realized that the stomach aches I got EVERY single day were

because of the food i was eating! Since I've stopped eating grains I don't get

stomach aches anymore. As far as exercise- do you mainly do gardening? any

walking or yoga? I'm curious if yoga would help me a lot, especially to relax.

And I'm afraid of losing all my muscles. Before I was pregnant I was absolutely

obsessed.. I would spend hours in the gym lifting and would feel like I was

going to die if I couldn't make it to the gym. I craved what I called my

" lifting high " ... like a runners high. At least I'm not that obsessed currently.

I wonder why some people can stick to strict diet and exercise routines to

achieve the body they want and then other people like myself end up with an

eating disorder.

When you eye patch and cover your eye does anyone around you wonder why you're

covering your eye?

When you water fast how do you go about doing it? Do you practice a lot of

McKenna's techniques throughout the day? And do you still take all your

supplements?

How often and for how long do you think I should practice tapping and eye

rolling?

Thanks for everything!

Tahnee

Hello Tahnee

Yes it is hard to do things at first in moderation to let things go. I guess

since I had my stroke and it knocked me down I was forced to do things in

moderation and let things go. I would work 10-12 hour days and even on the

weekend and hardly sleep. Even after the stroke and I would try to meet people

for lunch and my husband would try to tell me that I was not having a good week

but I would insist and then either have to cancel or not have a very long visit.

Anyway we are all here to help, share and listen. This group is wonderful,

supportive and loving.

Ciao-

Ange

Thank you Ange, I think as I heal with Bee's diet I'll have to start learning to

do everything in moderation, and not be obsessed with any one thing or type of

exercise.
