You Are Not Alone!!!!!! Posted: 01-05-05 09:01am
Jenny, you are not alone, I weigh 235 and
have similar problems. The energy I do
have, I spend taking care of 2 children,
and not being able to use the energy to
exercise. After my recent surgery, the
docs said I am very borderline diabetic.
I switched my diet, and it has helped me
some. Perhaps is can get you on the
right track. Cut out the sugars, ex-
soda, drink diet. If you drink the
powdered iced tea, try diet or make some
from scratch. Splenda sweatener really
does taste like the real thing. If you
are a big carb eater, cut them back. I
have found that I have more energy after
eating a meal when I don't have a lot of
carbs. Try the good carbs instead.
Baked potatoes, healthy bread, brown rice.
I changed what I ate and now am working
on changing the amount I eat. If it is
possible, eat small meals all day, vs
large meals. I have found it fills the
stomach, but doesn't weigh me down.
Therefore, I do have energy to continue
the day. The final hint I can give you,
is this, after you have eaten, do
something, even if it is to do the dishes,
laundry, walk around the block. Sweep the
floor, etc. This gets the metabolism
started even if it is rather slow, like
mine. Always remember you are not alone
and there are others in your situation.
Don"t give up :wink:
