Sharrie,

The s presented at ISNR last year a series of 100+ cases of

Aspergers, and they found right posterior slowing (high theta at about

T6) as well as Beta spindles at about Fz or FCz. Rob Coben presented

during the same workshop, and he reported frontal hypercoherences

(Between F7 and F8; F3 and F4, etc.) and hypocoherences between frontal

and posterior sites, especially on the right side, and also

hypocoherences between homologous sites (C3-C4, e.g.)

Just because it seems to mean nothing does not make it so. It means something,

it means success and determination. It means you are further along on the

journey towards a naturally slender you. As for working out, I too used to be

an all or nothing type. When I was a teen I did a hard bike ride, then a hike,

then two workout tapes. And I was in two dance classes every week and I had pe

in school. I think for people like us learning to be reasonable not flip out

completely swinging the pendulum in either direction really is the key to the

naturally slender life style. After all calm is when the pendulum doesn't swing

at all and is impervious to the prevailing winds, is it not? It is just

centered.

One trick that helps me is listening to the chatter in my head when it tells me

something that is counter to what I'm trying to achieve (eat be still watch tv.

.. . you know the mantra. ) And realizing that voice or urge is not inline with

me. I'm aware of it. But I don't have to do what it says. Why? Because I'm

in charge. Not those old patterns of behavior. Guess what, you are in charge

too. When you have those feelings recognize ohhh I'm having a feeling but I get

to decide what I do with it. Sometimes that means learning to say no to it and

sometimes it means listening to our bodies say you know what I need a low impact

low intensity workout.

Don't forget you are the awareness of that stuff in your head or stomach or

mouth that tells you or urges you to do something (anything.)

Hugs! And way to go on the success and self correcting, you are awesome,

Alisha

Put your own oxygen mask on first.  Model healthy behaviors for your children.  

Growing up I had a parent who was judgmental about my weight starting at age

10.   If I was thin, I was prized, but if I was heavy, I was encouraged to

restrict and limit my foods - hence some really good compulsive eating

behaviors.  Love your daughter unconditionally, and don't put her on a diet. 

Let her find her way, with you as a model.

Hi all,

I am having the same trouble, 5 kids and hobby (just one), and lots of different

foods. I have 3 teenagers, so the junk food is there. My daughter though has a

weight problem, and I would like to help her too.

Any suggestions? ?

Thanks,

Jeannie

[Guest guest]

I completely agree with this. Jeannie, the best thing you can do for

your daughter is to model the behavior - love her unconditionally and

make sure she knows she is worth more than gold to you no matter how

much she weights - and help her where she tells you she wants your

help. I have 3 kids and my middle child (our oldest son) is a little

overweight. My parents always made me feel unlovable and unworthy

when I was overweight as a child. And I wasn't that overweight - but

enough for them to make comments. It hurt a lot, and now today, at

age 43 I am 85-90 pounds overweight. That's not my parent's fault -

I am the one who put the food in my mouth - but I am a huge emotional

eater today. I am trying to model more positive behavior for my son

and just encourage him. He knows we love him and accept him no

matter what - but he makes comments almost everyday that he is

chubby. I think if I can get my act together we can lose weight

together - although I think his growth spurt that will come soon will

help him the most - he will be 11 on Dec. 23.

For some reason the subject line isn't showing up in my

browser...FireFox error, maybe? o_O

Anyway, I kind of wanted to update on the Dad thing. I think my post

made him sound like a horrible troll, but he's not. I'm such a

Daddy's girl it isn't funny. When I saw him later that same day, he

walked up to me and hugged me. He apologized, explaining yes he was

trying to help, but I was right. Him nit-picking wasn't helping me,

and that he's very proud of me for all the good work I've done.

On to other topics. My heart was not in my workout tonight. Between

e-drama llama stress, school, work, and computer problems, I am

'irritable.' Not irritated, per say, but tiny things have the

tendency to push me over the edge. I think I may be doing lots of

're-doing' this week. :/

Perhaps I'll calm down a bit over the weekend. I've got plans to take

my computer apart and clean it (mostly because my NIC card is being

fritzy and probably has a dusty/ bad connection). Playing with the

guts of a PC calms me down for some reason...or maybe it's fixing things.

,

the first thing I asked when I saw this was 'maybe it's the doubt that is

making you 'object'?' how long have you been trying to lose weight and been

unable to? or how many times have you lost it, only to gain it back? maybe

it's knowing what you know and having been through what you have that is

making your struggle so hard. I think that is one of the things that is

holding me back right now as well - I have lost and gained up to 60 pounds

so many times now that I think I keep telling myself that it will never

happen for good, but I need to let that go.

just a thought.

I'm also a WW veteran (in my early 50s, my first WW experience was at age 11!)

- lots of great information, but in many ways it fed into my food obsession.

IOWL is such a refreshing change for me - I am feeling freer, and yet more

centered and balanced, than I ever remember - and am doing well. It's good to

read similar experiences from others

My son is right down the line. He likes his time with his friends, but he also likes his time alone or his "me time". I think this is the time he takes to relax and comes comes down from the stress of school, or any over stimulation he feels. Kinda like a coping skill! After his alone time he is ready to be with school mates, friends and family again. I don't think he is anti-social as much as he is aware that he needs balance! I really think we could all benefit from some "me time".-n

hi patty~

it took me a while to figure it out. On your facebook profile page, directly below where you would post your thought for the day/or what your doing, etc., there is a row of pictures with the word attach. you click on the white paper looking one and it will ask for the website you need a link to. Then you type in www.breezymomma.com and it will come up on your page. Let me know if you need any more assistance....
