In the classes i went to they said it is the fat in the chocolate candies that

make it metbolize slower.

Re: I need some opinions please.

, This is what I thought until I bought my wife a large box of Belgian

Chocolates from Costco and ate most of them myself. I ate about 6 to 8 pieces

spread throughout the day as an experiment. For some odd reason my readings were

always low or lower 1 hour later. I reported this to my PCP and he said it was

very odd. So I continued doing this daily for about a week and almost never got

spikes in my sugars. But if I eat a piece of pizza or some french fries or some

bread or too much rice then bingo, up she goes. Someone tried to explain that

certain sugars don't really have a bad effect. Well all I know is what I

experienced this month and cannot explain why. ly I was shocked. Anyone

have any ideas on this?

Have you considered a support group of some kind? I read the book from

Overeaters Anonymous, is a great read, and there are support groups

all over the nation, FREE. They also have mentoring, called sponsors,

who work with you. There is also a great Bible study & book called

Weigh Down, it talks about the spiritual connection of overeating.

I don't know, but if you're like me, you are using food to cope with

life. I have 8,6, and 3 yr old girls, and my middle has autism. I

turned horribly to food after my middle was dxed. The root of my

problem isn't biology, it's mental. Addressing these issues is what is

helping me to heal from overeating, the diet and exercise are secondary.

I have lost 26 lbs in the last year, mostly from integrating all these

aspects of diets/power of mind. For one thing, I focus on this day. I

still do some menu planning and such, but when it comes down to it, my

prayer from my Father is that He delivers me from this day, because

tomorrow has worries of its own. I use an eating guide from

www.mypyramid.gov to ballpark what I should eat, shaving off the extra

calories & fat, trying to keep my daily intake to 1500. I try to

divide my carbs among the day to keep my insulin from shooting too

high, causing me lows and making me wanna eat like a pig, lol. I also

keep a journal of all my food throughout the day and try to be active

for 30 min. If you live near a park you could load up your kids in a

stroller and walk as far as you can, trying to increase it a little

each week. I take my eldest on her bike and she rides while I walk.

It's a great time for both of us. I'm hoping to eventually ride a

bike, but the seats hurt my bum too much, seems child birth made it

worse.

But as far as motivating you, that can only come from you. No one else

can force you to take care of yourself. No one can force me, it's a

daily decision I make. Some days I choose to live healthy and some

days I choose to harm my body. Each day is a choice and because you've

made bad ones in the past doesn't mean tomorrow can't be different.

said one thing he does is forgetting about the past and looking

toward the future of The Glorious Prize.

Do you have a freecycle group in your area? You can do a search for

freecyle plus your home town on Yahoo groups. You might be able to post a

request

for a bicycle or treadmill and find one that way. I gave away a manual

treadmill on ours several months ago when I upgraded to a electric one.

I have another opinions request. I haven't been eating a lot and my

carb count is lower than what I was told it should be most of the

time. This week I've been working on my feet all day, so doing a lot

of walking. The company has been supplying lunch, so I have more

carbs at lunch time (30-45g), but am so worn out by the end of the day

I have very little for dinner. But I am now gaining weight instead of

losing it. What can I do to reverse that? I am probably getting 2

miles of walking in during the day.

When your body sees that you are eating less, it begins

to store more.

Don't give up on the bike. Start taking short rides and lengthen them as your

endurence builds.

Re: I need some opinions please.

Where I live it is to far for me to ride a bike with my two kids. I

would be dead before I got back home LOL. But on a serious note it is

way to far. Also can you tell me where to find recipes to help me

along the way>

I cannot afford a bike. Also I seen a sticker on my glucophage bottle

that says I need to carry a card or wear a bracelet that says I take

this medicine. What should I do? Also why must you do that anyways?

You can get a used bike from Goodwill or Salvation Army for a very low price.

I've seen them as low as $25.00. If you want a new one, K-mart has bikes for

less than $100.00.

There are certain medications that shouldn't be taken with glucophage. Also,

until you adjust to things, you might get unpredictable lows. I'd suggest

Find a local freecycle group (www.freecycle.org) and put out a request

for a bike. I see exercise equipment on our local group rather

frequently.

Also, my church has a " Spokes for Folks " program that collects and

refurbishes bicycles and distributes them to low income people for

transporation. There may be a similar program in your area.

Hi Kitty,

Happy New Year
