Progress

As of the week of Oct 1, 2008. I went to a new Hospital since I had a liar Nurologist who told me I had a case. I could go to a lawyer and the eye and memory were not water related. Doctors do not know what they are talking about. get a woman with possible spinal fluid in places it should not be and you have a extremely healthy looking person. which doctor do not see is that you are much sicker than they see. New nurologist has to start from scratch. delay in michigan sad economy is job loss and no insurance for over a year. I am just starting up again. because of the high deductible insurance. we may delay as my husband just got promoted to a 'helper'. so he is not a entry level or pay rate. tough times I ve always known.

the true start is after I realized I could not control my weight even on a diet. (adkins and southbeach) were at 1200 calories and I was gaining weight. one to three pounds a week and not knowing why. this was Feb 2004 that I was 187lb on a 5 ft 7 inch med frame which hid weight and water gain well.

Sept 6, 2005 since Aug 24 I've been on a strict diet where I weight myself every day and take the smallest reading. since the beginning of this summer. sometime in june. I had experience days where I just knew the diet was working. that means I was going to the bathroom with a lot of urine coming out. yet I would not weight myself in the summer. it was a very hot summer here in Michigan. and I was upset at the failure to identify the problem. I came to the conclusion that it was Saturated Fats. yet on the diet I went from my all time high 211lbs to 208lbs. and I could not get lower. I noticed my foods. and decided to check. I actually after a year on the diet found a problem food. hidden or not checked flour ingredient in my twizzlers candy. I was shocked as I found it out today. yet I re-gained some confidence to say Saturated Fat would not be total eliminated as I felt it was not the problem. So I will be checking in later. As of today. a three pound loss in six days is nothing to jump and shout. My husband once massaged me and it must of been on a good day as I had a record 7 lbs loss that day. I just hope I don't need to extra massage as he gets very tired out doing it so its a rare treat.

Update Sept 27, 2005

Well I've been maintaing and not gaining. but this is about loss. so I need to be a better dectective. I am done researching my next quest. Something I forgotten to add importance. that is most wheat suffers, or gluten suffers ( I do not know) have a allergy to one or more foods. Well I realized I sorta ignored Yeast. Though since reading in adkins of yeast problems. I grab Linda's book and though it could be the culprit. as I am craving sweets. Yet I though I was okay. Yet in March and late feb. I lost alot of water. I recalled I was also low on sweets. and learned through adkins that its very hard to detect. their rotational diet to find the culprit is something I prefer not to do. I rather do Linda's waterfall of avoidence. since I am sure this method though slow is though. I also note that saturated fats don't see to be the last culprit. So hence forth I am avoiding table sugar. and yeast items. though I need to research it more. cheese, mushroom which I never ate and vinegar are things which I need to avoid. I usual give it a week before I check. yet somewhere the problem lies. and I sometimes can't test two weeks in a row if you are counting my time. I have social functions the past 3 weeks and been slow because of that. but I did avoid saturated fats. just did not check as often my water level.

I want to add a photo for the people who say she been on this diet for a long time. and has'nt lost the water. it proof of the good effect the diet has done. and healing as my doctor of Gastro have told me could take a couple of years. so actual by his last statement to me. I was on track. The pictures show a skin blotchy brown which I was told was a sun condition. the diet has caused the reacurring problem to vanish. and only photo can document that. that a side effect bonus of this diet.

Because of many factors and am gaining weight. I know as of march 26, 8 food allergies. now I cannot stop all foods as I made pizza mix with egg. wheat free gluten free the best you can taste like flour pizza. however because of on going medical problems. I suspect my kidney, bladder and have been monitered for years. though I even suspect my nerves. I am going in a few weeks back to the neurologist. I have 8 known food allergies from that test : wheat, eggs, mushroom, yellow squash, onion, cukes, seaseame seed. I know I spelled it wrong. but I am updating alot right now. I do not give up. I try to find a science answer to my problem of why the diet alone isn't working. and last food allergy is the worst Ginger. which I ate in boston coolers sugar free fat free isn't good enough if you eat ginger and are severely allergic to it. Amazingly I put it in stir frys , ginger tea, cereals and when I though I help 'flatulence'. now I am going without it. my husband is the only worker and is currently 4 days so please don't think I am not trying. I had a 4 day work week since nov of 2006. we just can't afford the foods to replace them. so I ate a pizza crust with alittle eggs. I know; but I will make it no more with eggs. the best package is the gluten free one from brighten michigan. 'tastefully gluten free' mix is the best I ever ate. please watch my continued work in fighting this condition. this week starts lower my calories. but I increased my drinking and that seems to be a problem. only water is what I increase. drink more to flush out waste and such.

as of July hospital admission. I've had not gained weight to badly. with getting food from the church because of a ira being over $3000.00. we did not qualify for state help in any form and are presently going through a charity program to pay the hospital bill. I did not enjoy the process for getting help that was eventually no help. this is wrong to a sick perhaps dying woman to give me false hope.

a personal journey to a healthy me!

and a healty You!
