I found MASTERING THE ZONE by Barry Sears, PH.D. and have put my life back together. I eat only organic...see web site "Forks over Knives", I chose to stop eating meat...see Netflix documentary "Food Matters" VERY little dairy-a little organic 2% in my tea. I daily juice veggies with a little fruit and keep everything low-glycemic...just eating that way is enough to cause you to drop the pounds! Fruit, veggies, and beans just like my Grandmother ate at the turn of the century when woman were really tiny! My daughter is a nurse and she sees alot of stuff I never want to happen to me because I can't make good food choices OR, can't pass up. She has followed the Zone for twenty years it seems and she is 5"10" size 6 age 36 and solid muscle and shapely. She said just tonight that woman are getting so big they are becomming the norm and woman her size are starting to be considered "skinny". She eats like a horse for stamina but low-glycemic allows her to get very good nutrition without unneccesary calories. When I was in high school I was considered "skinny" at 5'7" and 114 lbs. I was healthy and never sick. I was raised by my Grandparents...lol I'm raising my Grandson who has Aspberger's(autism) and he HAS to eat healthy so we're all on the ZONE. Check with your Library and see if they have any of the ZONE books. He (Dr. Sears) has a wonderful book on THE ANTI-INFLAMMATION ZONE which I am very much interested in since it is the root cause of all our sicknesses just about. See everyone later-got to get to bed. Thanks for this subject discussion.

I try to eat whole foods that have not been processed and lots of fruit and vegetables. My weight problem comes from a slow metabolism and snacking at times. I agree with several of the comments that menopause is a nasty culprit for weight gain. Personally, I'm weak when it comes to sweets in the house so I don't buy anything and try to eat my baked goods in moderation.<br />I think of you often and hope that the things in your life will become more orderly.<br />JudithJudith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-12372771922891685572012-05-22T21:46:48.460-04:002012-05-22T21:46:48.460-04:00Thank you for the sweet wishes!

I do not eat red meat. And some days I am a maniac with eating every sweet thing that comes my way, but then, I burn it off walking.<br />I worry that when we moved back to a house in the US where you have to drive a car to get anywhere, that the weight will creep up, so I am making sure that I do the same exact things there that I do here.<br />Eat much less, 3 meals a day and all the food groups just makes you fat .. and I will walk as much as possible and sit on my butt as little as possible :)<br />besos..Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-82709533952558101282012-05-21T19:51:34.609-04:002012-05-21T19:51:34.609-04:00Nathalie, there really is a large amount of things...Nathalie, there really is a large amount of things out there claiming to be the right way to a more fit body. I never knew so much existed!! and some of out it doesn't even make sense (health wise). Hmm... I've started drinking coconut milk recently (the nutritionist that worked on my therapy team a couple years ago introduced me to coconut water ...so I thought why not try the milk) ... it's actually good and not dairy ...so for me it's a good alternative; I'll check into the oil .. thank my friend.

Thank you for your visit. I have...Hello dear Celia,<br />Thank you for your visit. I have been wondering how you're doing. As you know, I too have had a major life change although not as serious as your own, only different. <br />I am just five feet and have always been petite until, in the prime of life, I aquired MD which changed everything. No heels for me either and it took some getting used to. I was always high energy and could work circles around everyone else. Not so any more!<br />I have found eating smaller portions, drinking LOTS of water, exercise, and no snacking at night have certainly helped me with my weight control. Of course menopause has played a big part in making weight control management more difficult but if I can fit into my size 7, I'm happy! <br />The most important thing for me is to have a thankful heart and I do. I thank God every day for His blessings in my life and I realize that things can always be worse! I just came from the cemetery where my best friend is laid to rest and she never got to see her sons marry or her grandchildren. Whereas, I have! So, I take one day at a time and fit as much joy into it as I can get. I also have the best husband which makes that easy for me. God bless you, my friend, and I hope you can find a plan which works for you. Have a lovely Victoria Day weekend.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-3011251257928543702012-05-20T13:57:22.241-04:002012-05-20T13:57:22.241-04:00I found you through Never Growing Old and loved re...I found you through Never Growing Old and loved reading your post. I swear this is about me. I never had to worry about my weight until about 7 years ago. All of a sudden, my weight jumped 25 pounds. Why? Most likely due to added stress--adopted my step-grandson who is behaviorly challenged---lost my job--got a new job that added more stress--moved--meds for depression and anxiety--less active---menopause. And there is more, but I won't add to the list. I don't have a diet plan other than no snacking at night (yeah, right!), and I know I need to exercise, but can't do it at home and don't have the money to join a gym. darn--I'm making up excuses---! Well, I wish you luck in your journey.

However, it's not to say that I don't splurge now and again. Last summer, I wrote about Kimberly Snyder's book http://www.kimberlysnyder.net/ and although I don't follow her plan completely, I feel much better when I incorporate her smoothie in the morning and eat less animal protein. My goal now is to exercise and get fit. I don't like to sweat, I don't like sweaty machines at the gym and I spend far more time at the spa and cafe. The other day, I noticed that "things" aren't as firm as they once were so that has motivated me and I am researching ellipticals. I can incorporate a routine of 30 minutes a day even when I'm in school. I feel there are no excuses that way. <br />Perhaps we should begin this journey to get healthy together? I am motivated to make this change.<br />Wishing you a beautiful week! xoxo, BChampagne Macaronshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371915176345459072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-26342950745534776462012-05-20T08:07:14.649-04:002012-05-20T08:07:14.649-04:00Yes, I've just started juicing for breakfast a...Yes, I've just started juicing for breakfast and dinner and it has worked wonders. I am using Jason Vales books and motivation via his Facebook page. All my cravings have disappeared and I am really controlling what I am eating without really thinking too much about it. Check out his books on Amazon. I'm also reading the book 'Crazy Sexy Diet´ by Dean Ornish who cured herself of cancer principally by juicing, and the book Clean by Alejandro Junger which I think would be really worth reading for you as it is is about eliminating toxins (including those from medicines) from our bodies.<br />Sending you lots of hugs xxVannessa@Luxuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004543876391503184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-900658863397438662012-05-20T06:33:08.677-04:002012-05-20T06:33:08.677-04:00woww great post good luckwoww great post good luckbaju muslim murahhttp://toko-baju-muslim.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-77322893305600229712012-05-19T20:35:48.747-04:002012-05-19T20:35:48.747-04:00It's been a while since I've been here to ...It's been a while since I've been here to visit Celia, so I've been getting caught up on many of your posts, each one more inspiring than the next.

You are an intelligent young woman and understand the needs but still, the fight against the pain, the nasty side affects of certain medications is a tough one. Let's hope you will find the balance between all that and manage to get a bit back from your previous 'super-woman' image. And don't forget one thing, which woman can remain super-woman for a long time. We have to let go, one way or another. Become more mild in judging ourselves and learning to accept certain changes.<br />A tight hug to you and lots of love. I too got energized again from a short cruise to the Bahamas. Did lots of reading and also looking into my life style.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-76353998419047106382012-05-18T15:37:36.086-04:002012-05-18T15:37:36.086-04:00Oh, the weight is not easy!

But I have to admit I'm eating too much chocklad now and also sweets in the week. Before it was only on Saturdays. I really plan on getting back to that habit. And the rule of never take more than one piece of cake. And exercise a little bit more. And drinking more water. And then I will be fine. I think...! :)<br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend! xxVær våkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462001543345657210noreply@blogger.com
