I havent really tryed, I just set my mind to doing what i know i have to do.
After the Dr. chewed me up an down i knew she was right.
I came home and started drinking water. I cut myself down to two sodas a day and just drink water. I thought if i cut the soda to just two then after awhile i could cut it all the way out. Im working on it.
I was a very heavy smoker i just limited myself to one pack a day, and if i ran out i just ran out.
Foods, i knew alot of the proper ones because my husband is a diabetic. He is on 4 shots a day plus meds. BUT THE MAN WONT EAT RIGHT. So be it im going to eat right even if he wont.
Then i had another Dr. appt. and the nurse said "well Mary you lost 10 pds"
I didnt think i had lost anything. I didnt feel like i had, but now im like WOOHOO im on a roll so i need to keep doing what im doing.
I guess the menopause/hot flashes is really what made me strong. I thought for sure if i did all this they would stop or at least let up. But they havent.
Untill thay get my b/p under control and i stop smoking Dr. wont give me anything but this like sleeping pill. All it does is knock me out. Which is good cause i hadnt had much sleep in months.
Now I think my body is used to it and im starting to wake up more at night.
I dont know, all i can say is im giving it my best and i feel like mother nature is not workin with me ha .
Oh i have pm'd Jaspermom. Shes one awesome lady!!!!!!!!!
Everyone seems to be doing pretty good also.
SO KEEP UP THE WORK EVERYONE!
