I know some people get seasonal depression in the winter, but I get it in the summer. Summer can be just so oppressive here with the 3 H's (hazy, hot, and humid), and I'm sure Texas has Washington, D.C. beat in these areas. You can complain any time. You are such a fighter. I really respect you for hanging in there and doing your taebo. Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2000 Report Share Posted May 16, 2000 Hi Susuan Reading your letter and what you eat and looks so familiar, not alot of food but alot of carbs. Sounds like you have might have a problem with them. I watched what I ate my whole life, calories, low fat and it wasn't until I went low-carb that I have lost weight and kept it offand feel satisfied like I 'm not even dieting. I also carried more weight from waist up and its the first time I lost weight all over. Just a thought that might help you out, I know more here are doing the WW thing, but whatever works for you and makes you happy and it must be an eating plan you can live with forever. I do miss breads, pasta and junk food and yup I fall off wagon but get right back on. I eat alot of veggies like broccoli, green beans and use cauliflower as my potato substitute. Nothing I used to like better for dinner then a bowl of cereal. I didn't eat alot of food or calories but I ate ALOT of carbs(the wrong thing for my body) and they were causing me to store fat instead of burning it. I've been eating this way for about 2 yrs(50 lbs lost 10 from goal) and I also just got back into Taebo (broken VCR) I try to do it every day. I just got the AL vol 1,2,3 and love them. Whatever you choose just think positive and good things will come. Take care..... PS Theres alot of books to read on LC...I do Protein Power but also read Atkins, Carb Addict and Sugar Busters and all are great. K wrote: > > Well, guys, > > I'm just feeling very grumpy!!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2000 Report Share Posted May 16, 2000 Hi Judie!! Thanks for the words of encouragement! I really needed them. I really can tell a difference in my muscles, my butt is ALOT tighter, you can actually see a curve instead of just a blob going down into big thighs. It was just really frustrating to wake up that morning and have my jeans be so much tighter. I think part of it was salt/water retention from the fajitas. And it really hasn't gone down yet, because I am having them for leftovers! Oh, well...I will KOKO!! Keep on kicking on.... Oh, about Florida being the armpit - I'm from the Corpus Christi, TX area - the bottom of the armpit!! I completely understand...that humidity and heat is just unbelievable. It makes it feel like you are in a sauna! Regards, K in Texas Message: 17 Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 13:48:54 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: Feeling grumpy!!! Oh boy I know how you feel!!!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2000 Report Share Posted May 16, 2000 Elena, Thank you so much. You and all the others on this list are just great!! I agree about the seasonal depression in the summer - I think I have more of a problem then, as well. I love fall and spring, and I can handle winter pretty well. I think because we get so little rain and cold weather at times, that I really appreciate sitting and listening to rain, inside snuggled up with a good book and a blanket. I know that winter is not going to last that long down here. Now the summer is something else - most of the time, like this year, we didn't even have a spring or even really a winter. It went straight from fall to summer!! My mom bought all of this winter clothes for my dd, and she didn't even get to wear 2 sweaters, it never got cold enough!! I also appreciate being reminded that I am a fighter, I am for my kiddos and I can be for myself. I NEED to be one for myself. I just need a little reminding once in awhile! Regards, K in Texas >, I feel for you. I don't know how you and others here handle that Texas heat. I know some people get seasonal depression in the winter, but I get it in the summer.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2000 Report Share Posted May 16, 2000 Romie, It's nice to know someone else understands how it feels. It helps to know that you make it through it all, and that I can too, I just need to relax and let it pass, and then pick up and get going again when I can. I hate those flare-ups, and they do come after an improvement, prob cause we forget and then kind of get careless and overdo things. (Or at least, I know that is my problem! I start feeling good, and push myself a little more, find out that that's ok, push a little more and then - WHAM!! It definitely let's you know it's there!) Thanks for the encouragement and the understanding. Regards, K in Texas SUSAN WITH YOUR MEDS IT CANT BE EASY TO NOT GET DISCOURAGED I KNOW I HAVE BEEN THERE .. JUST WHEN I FEEL AN IMPROVEMENT I HAVE A FLARE AND WHOOPS THERE I GO AGAIN ...AT TIMES LIKE THAT I TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND TELL MYSELF THIS TO SHALL PASS AND I KNOW IT WILL ........ ISNT IT FUNNY HOW SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSE TO HELP YOU CAN MAKE YOU FEEL SO YUCKY.... HANG IN THERE IT WILL PASS AND YOU WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE AGAIN ROMIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
