Once again tomorrow I will restart the old diet. If I had a dollar for every time I did this. Guess I will just go back to the old way of counting calories. I really hate doing that since I have done it sooooooooo many times but the slim fast and other ways is just not working for me. I have eaten way to much, am in more pain, stomach feels like it will pop and my heart beats to fast. It always does when I over eat or get over a certian weight. The other night I could feel my body move a little bit with each heart beat. What a weird feeling that was. He is hoping I can keep my mouth and no more snacking. I just can't seem to find any food to be happy with anymore.
HI! I can relate to you and your feeling of being over a certain weight. I've gained since I've been taking Elavil and I hate that! I've got to get back to walking again. I haven't walked much since we moved here to this house...I guess I miss the old familiar neighborhood that I felt good walking in. I need to just get out and walk and find a good walking area.
It's so hard to lose......been there done that....bought the t-shirt! lol
Just keep trying.....with spring here maybe you can walk......exercise some.....keep busy.....and the weight will go. Roxie

(which causes me to have constant yeast infections!)I take Cymbalta for Neuopathy/Myopathy pain. I use the Climara patch for menopause symptoms.

I no longer have the awful urethral pain! I've been using MSM gel now for 4 mo. and haven't had a flare up or the urethra pain.....it's amazing stuff!!:woohoo:
