There is something terribly wrong with that. She is haunting you, even when she is not there. Your weight gain goes far beyond the physical. The psychological aspect of hearing all this is frightening. Please don't be Mom, even if it is only to yourself. You know my theory of raising Ian...if I'm not sure what to do, I think about what Mom would do, then do the opposite. It's worked pretty well so far. Please, when you start having Mom thoughts, turn them around and tell yourself the opposite of what she would say. Maybe releasing yourself of the emotional baggage will allow you to release the pounds. You know the connection between emotions and eating.<BR/><BR/>*A*Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493413694555677435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859828555059711506.post-24744484802606518642009-01-26T19:11:00.000-08:002009-01-26T19:11:00.000-08:00One thing you may want to look into is that border...One thing you may want to look into is that borderline slow thyroid. What is the number?<BR/><BR/>Some people, even when the numbers are borderline, still benefit from thyroid treatment. I have just been diagnosed (pretty much borderline) Hypothyroid recently...and began treatment. My TSH was 4.9 (which was up from 3.7 or something, a few years ago.) They have recently changed the "normal" ranges...and I'm not sure that all doctors follow that yet.<BR/><BR/>Something you may want to check out!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06315409733247225784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859828555059711506.post-57211327758333476522009-01-26T10:28:00.000-08:002009-01-26T10:28:00.000-08:00At three o clock in the morning I awoke and was th...At three o clock in the morning I awoke and was thinking about this post..My mind started going with all the responses I could give to you..Unfortunately my eyes were closed, and nobody was there to record my thoughts. <BR/><BR/>I have to say I agree with Claudia, that we are our own worst critique and seem to be ultra-hard on ourselves never giving ourselves a break.<BR/><BR/>I have to say this..Look at all you have experienced and over came this last year.<BR/><BR/>Two Surgeries (foot and Knee)<BR/>Infection (thought it was mrsa but found out it wasn't)<BR/>Entertained me during my visit<BR/>Entertained Cari during her visit<BR/>Entertained Vennie during her visit<BR/>IV Hydrations<BR/>ER Trips<BR/>Produced beautiful jewelry that is selling.<BR/>Blogged everyday for a month. <BR/>Worked on your yarn/knitting for an award. <BR/>Now Exercising at Slimmons again.<BR/>Maintain a relationship with your fiends<BR/>Maintain a relationship with Eric<BR/>Helped mother get a car at a great price.<BR/>Helped with busting an identity theft ring. <BR/>Written numerous articles that are being published.<BR/>Been interviewed for local newspapers.<BR/><BR/>Girl I'm so proud of you..You have managed to do all of these things at your sickest/weakest moments..You found the strength to keep going and not give up. <BR/><BR/>I've tried to look up thyroid conditions on the internet, specifically if a thyroid can correct itself on it's own without medication? Or can other medications effect thyroid production? <BR/><BR/>You've never been one to take no for an answer, and you've never been one that will be happy with said answers until you know in your gut that every possible angle has been covered. If you are not satisfied with the thyroid question, then go back and talk to Dr. or another Dr. about it. <BR/><BR/>Be proud of what you have accomplished sweety..I am..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859828555059711506.post-69392515388600711112009-01-26T04:14:00.000-08:002009-01-26T04:14:00.000-08:00Hey Babe,You know we are hardest on ourselves.

Give yourself a break. There are enough people out there wanting to bring you down. Don't let them. Listen to the people who really care about and love you....like me.<BR/><BR/>ClaudiaClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599146338455375386noreply@blogger.com
