I had to drive by the ice cream drive through place twice last night and I resisted stopping. I need to recognize that as a victory, as progress. It could have been way way worse! I am going to have to walk through this hormone replacement therapy bloating with patience. I am drinking lots of water today and sticking to a decent plan. I know that water retention is common but I have read it subsides after a few weeks, maybe even six. I can adjust my diet to avoid high sodium stuff (like sunflower seeds, baked chips, and other vending machine crap) to avoid excessive retention. I am going to pay attention to my body and do what works..Thanks!!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400492104098347769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59629540769510128.post-62693144032171376922009-03-06T11:09:00.000-08:002009-03-06T11:09:00.000-08:00Oh, girl, it can be so much worse, trust me. You ...Oh, girl, it can be so much worse, trust me. You aren't eating at your best but at least you aren't taking the ice cream carton to bed with you & finishing it off! That was me, last night. <BR/><BR/>You are going through a rough time--most of us are. And you are handling things exceptionally well, I think. Your food will get under control again. Mine will too. The drastic is a great idea if only to get off the physiological pull of sugar & carbs. <BR/><BR/>The boxes sound daunting! But like you said, it's work. It will give you time to keep looking for something new. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there. A lot of us are in the same boat right now. Maybe a rising tide will come & lift us all. Spring perhaps? <BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoy your weekend.Laura Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07916626845812229646noreply@blogger.com
