I can relate to your story. Just keep checking in with your doctor and follow his advice.
You didn't mention anything about exercising. Do you walk outside or on the treadmill?
I guess none of us can say anything. Per the Dog Whisperer, even our little dogs need to be exercised and walked.
I can't walk outside 99% of the time due to lots of allergies. So I walk on my treadmill. We bought one about 2 years ago not realizing that it took the place of where the Christmas tree used to go!*! Soooo, the past 2 Christmases, we've had a small fiber-optic tree on the dining room table. LOL
You've probably noticed in some of Glad & my posts on this thread some tips that might help you.
Perhaps you have a few tips of your own. I wasn't on any particular "diet" just cut out certain foods that were either high in fat, sodium, cholesterol, or calories!
Best of luck to you in 2006. |
Pat, to answer your question about excercise, I don't at this time have a regular schedule mostly because I have bad knees but I will have to say they are better since I have lost some weight so maybe I can get started. I ride horses on a regular basis, but my doctor said I needed the excercise instead of my horse.lol But I am not a complete couch potato. The weight watcher's diet is what I have been trying to do although I am not going to the meetings. It is a great diet or life change because you can eat pretty much what you want as long as you count it in your daily talley. You soon learn that it is better to eat something more filling than a piece of cake. I am a life time member and can go to meetings free as long as I am within 2 pounds of my goal which I am not right now.
