Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 That is great success! My son's hair stylist lets him play with the water mist bottle while she is cutting his hair. Also my son wears his weighted vest during the hair cut. That makes a huge differance!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 OK, I'll share ours too! Louie is moving to another house (long story) that he says looks like a castle (it's a renovated old hacienda). Trouble is, it's in Old Town, which is across town from us. So we've been trying, his dad & I, to come up with a plan for Saturday church and Sunday dinner that won't eat us alive on gas costs. All this is background. So we came up with the idea that he'd do church on Saturday night (his preferred service anyway) with us, and then have a light supper with us after and then go home. No Sunday dinner at all. However, to do this, we'd have to break an established schedule in place for 4 years. Never an easy thing, as you well know. So I asked Louie for his opinion of our plan on Sunday while taking him home. He started to think about it, and for a while I didn't get an answer, until I told him, " You don't have to feel obligated to have dinner with us on Sundays, you know. " And that was what he needed to hear, because he immediately agreed to the Saturday only plan!! He tells me, " Then on Sunday I can pursue my own interests and watch the tv shows I like. " !! :0 !! I guess he's growing up, folks...... Annie, who loves ya annie@... -- " I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy next to me. " --Woody .

This, of course, happened AFTER I bought to robocutter (like a flowbee) and havent had a chance to use it.After the 10 minutes, when I was trying to trim it up to look better, he started being overwhelmed again and wouldnt let me touch it, so I left him alone and gave him a popsicle :-)WOW, just amazing things.What are we doing? Well, he has been on a GFCF diet for about 3 mos now (we were told that the effects increase over time) and a couple weeks ago we started using a weighted blanket with him. It has been pretty successful, and I am making him a weighted vest as well (hopefully it will replace that superhero cape he insists on wearing to school, which they tolerate, but really dont care for because all the kids want one).Just wanted to share our success.Donna__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I don't suspect it will. I'm not a big fan of antifever OTC meds since most of them lower glutathione, but you don't want a fever to run away from you either. Remember that fevers help to kill infection, but we don't like to see it go too far above 103 or 104 in my opinion. I suspect you'll only have a couple of days of significant fever. - Stan > > We have a 103.67 fever on day 16, and I have NEVER been so happy to have a sick child! This means he is a responder, right? He has done better on Valtrex since Day 1-literally, but I had never seen a fever until now. No rash, but he had a couple cold sore like dots on his lips for hours like someone else posted, and then they were gone. > > He is doing well with language since Valtrex, and his stimming on wheels and spinning objects has lessened greatly, but he is visually stimming on lines and using peripheral vision like never before. Any insight? > > How long should the fever last? It started at 103.67 last night, and is 102 today. I gave dye free children's motrin for the fever-was that a HUGE no no? I just didn't want it to spike during the night. I hope I didn't interupt the process.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Congrats! Sounds like you are well on your way! I remember back from when I had initially lost a lot of weight that I could go to a store and look around in the candy aisle but KNEW that the chocolate bars or whatever did not taste as good as I made them out to be. I wouldn't buy them not because I denied myself the pleasure but because I knew it was not worth it. Last night I had a similar epiphany in the grocery store. I looked at candy but really, nothing seemed appealing. Mind you, I still bought a box of cookies, but I am on my way! In the end, it's not about the food. It's the gift I want to give myself, sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's relaxation, sometimes it's strength. At in each of these cases, there are so much better ways to achieve these things than food! I open my heart to you on your journey! Continued success, Jantje > > I have been listening to my body, and it feels so good! I'm down about a pound or two, but that's almost inconsequential - which is crazy! I have been waiting to eat until I'm hungry. I'm ignoring all of the " rules " I've learned over the years and am going back to listening to my body. > > I don't eat breakfast until I am ready to eat. That was always something I did when I was trying to lose weight - back before I knew the rules. I even remember doing that in hs. When I think about it, it's not really that strange. I'm a night owl living a morning person's life. My body wants to stay up and also doesn't want to eat until later. I'm honoring that. > > Yesterday I had a cookie at a meeting because I truly wanted it, not because it was there. And I didn't deny myself the cookie because I " shouldn't have it " . Also a surprise was the rice krispy bar I bought at the gas station. I can't help buying them when I gas up cuz I LOVE rice krispy bars. I didn't eat it all day cuz I didn't want it. Then dinner was delayed, and I was hungry so I ate it. You know what? It wasn't really that good. It's not buttery and yummy like the ones I make at home. It was just sweet and gooey. AND it filled me up and I couldn't enjoy my good dinner. I never realized that they were filling cuz it's just a snack. > > I've also been making an effort at choosing healthier, whole-r foods. I feel like I am pampering myself! > > This is so much fun!!! > > Alyce > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Isn't it funny how some times you just don't want to eat stuff that doesn't feed your body and other times you just want to feed your emotions? I feel so much more peace when I eat to feed my body, but sometimes nothing is appealing so I eat nothing. Bring it on, peaceful self!
