My new support system is My HP God and OA and my Hubby!Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09388317671134982425noreply@blogger.comBlogger14125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583193729555384045.post-75703068755855927812016-03-16T09:58:00.000-07:002016-03-16T09:58:02.384-07:00Well, yesterday I had gone to the grocery store and I had on my "I am a survivor" breast cancer tshirt. I always hated to have to use the little electric carts in stores because I have seen the looks that people give people on scooters and even hear an occasional rude remark from others concerning the person on the cart. Well let me tell you...I was in so much pain yesterday due to my bad back that I had no choice but to use a scooter if I wanted to get what I needed from the grocery store. I was truly amazed at the reactions and comments from people as the first thing they saw when looking at me was my I am a survivor. I have never experienced so much 1) Can I help you get anything off the shelf 2) WOW ...you are a survivor, how wonderful (which always makes me cry). 3) You dropped this let me pick it up for you, and that is just a short version of people's kindness when they really think you have a reason to ride the cart!!!<br />
I am so thankful for all my blessings, and April 18, 2016 will be my 2nd year cancer free anniversary!<br />
Now to get to my main point of my blog. I got up too early this morning, specifically at 3 am so I finally fell back to sleep when my husband left for work. He asked me if I needed the car (he drives our car when I don't need it to work) I remember going uggggg, naw I don't think I will be going anywhere today.<br />
Just going to sit home, pull up all the OA telephone meetings for today and go down the list and highlight the ones that I really need to attend. Also reading my OA literature on my Ipad or my Iphone. These are really informative and helpful. I am over my disappoint of thinking "I deserve better than this, after all, I survived cancer, after some serious thinking of duh!!!! You do deserve better than this and that means taking care of myself!!!! My husband has told me in the past few weeks how he worries about me "surviving" and that includes getting to a healthy weight and place in my life so that I hopefully will live a long time. He came into our home office last night and told me that he thinks that my OA food plan is actually a good healthy one. Yay!!!! <br />
Well I gotta run, because it is time for me to call my sponsor, she is a great sponsor and I am grateful for her wisdom and support and making me accountable!!!<br />Catch you later, alligator...LOL <br />

In April 2014, I was not feeling well, and I kept telling my doctor that<br />
something was wrong...well...it was!!!! I got diagnosed with stage 3C<br />
left breast cancer. I chose to have a double mastectomy. I told my surgeon<br />
take them both off now! That was on a Monday April 14, 2014. On April<br />
18, 2014 I had my double mastectomy and have not thought twice about it!!! <br />
My two year cancer Free anniversary is coming up on April 18, 2016!<br />
I did not know it at the time, but, I because a huge reconstruction failure!<br />
Due to my radiation after my chemotherapy, my chest wall was over cooked<br />
and to put it in one of my doctors words..."they cooked the you know what out<br />
of me!!!" I had lost down from my precancerous weight of 296 down to 230. One<br />
good thing that came out of chemo was it completely killed my appetite for about<br />
a year...That was a good thing!!! Every since 1985 I have battled my weight and have<br />
lost 134 pounds in 6 months, keep it off for several years then gained it back and lost<br />
all the weight again and kept it off until about 2001. I have since learned that I suffer<br />
from being a compulsive overeater...nothing I tried kept my weight off. I have joined<br />
Overeaters Anonymous and am learning about becoming healthy. It will take a while<br />
but, this time I mean to try to be as healthy as possible for the rest of my life, and I am<br />
now 63...I have been listening in on all the OA meetings and podcast that I can. Got<br />
all my OA literature and books that I can get..both paperback and digital on my Iphone,<br />
Ipad, and my Kindle. I do not like not being able to walk a long distance...oh, darn,<br />
I forgot to mention, I have degenerative disk disease, where my C5&C6 are compressing<br />
my spinal nerve and the the lower part of my back from my bra strap area down I have about<br />
6-8 bulging disks and its very painful!!! So far my pain management doctor is really sweet<br />
and I am fixing to have my 3rd set of epidural shots to try to avoid back surgery...after<br />
yesterday and today, I am not really sure I can avoid surgery. I am really looking like<br />
I think it is Bad Bad Leroy Brown...you know that part where he looks like a jigsaw<br />
puzzle with a couple of pieces gone? Well that is definately me!!! I chose to have both<br />
implants removed after it was obvious that my body rejected the implants for reconstruction!<br />
Ok...I am at the point...Breasts...who needs them..For one I will never have to wear a bra again<br />
and Noooooooooooooo more mammograms!!!!! Yay!!!! But get this my plastic surgeon<br />
told me yesterday that I could still have options for reconstruction again...I just shook<br />
my head and told him...Enough is enough...No more, so he is going to try to match<br />
my chest on the right side with my left side....He told me that I could have a DIEP flap<br />
done. Not meaning to be disrespectful, but, Nooooo thanks!!!! <br />
And so here I am trying to concentrate on my being a compulsive overeater, with the<br />
help of my higher power GOD!!!! It's hard for me but I am really trying. I was angry<br />
and told my husband after ALL that I have been through, I deserve better than this...<br />
Wait a doggone minute!!!! Yes I do and to get healthy is the best that I can do and<br />
by golly gee, I am not going to give up. I am in absinence right now from binging<br />
and I plan to stay that way. I have a wonderful sponser, and I love the OA family!<br />
There are not physical meetings near me any closer than 89 miles, so telephone meetings<br />
and podcasts are my new support system along with my higher power God, my husband,<br />
and Overeathers Anonymous...Just know this...I am not planning on failing or back-sliding,<br />
but, it is good to know that with unconditional love and support there is hope for me!!!<br />
My new support system is at: www.oa.org<br />
Check them out and if you need help too, just hop on the wagon and go for it....If you don't<br />
do something about it now, you will be in the same place next year wishing you had done<br />
something about it...Not me...NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE AND LOVING MYSELF<br />
ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF ME!!!Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09388317671134982425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583193729555384045.post-1249864227569628772012-05-24T12:04:00.002-07:002012-05-24T12:05:12.519-07:00Oh...one thing I forgot to say!Oh...I forgot, I went to my doctor, and he had not seen me since last year. He was very pleased with my weight loss (of 74 pounds when I saw him) and as he dictated, he stated Patient has lost a large amount of weight intentionally, and I do mean intentionally on the Atkins diet, I will be very interested as to what her choleresterol is at this point! Well I had labs done last week, and have not heard back from them as of yet. Will post it when I find out!!! I asked him if he thought Atkins was bad for me, and he said at this point anything that can get the weight off of you-----I am all for!!!!!

Goooooooooooo Me! And I continue on an on! I don't understand why someone would prefer to starve on little caloric counts when you can truly eat lavishly and never be hungry!!!! It has been months since I have tasted potatoes, but, I did learn to make a mean faux mashed potatoes with Cauliflower, recipe is in the Low Carbing with Friends Book! Even my husband said you can fix this anytime!!! My bread is mock danish, and other easily fixed faux bread recipes! I wanted spaghatti, and bought spaghetti squash, baked it while I fixed my spaghetti sauce, and you talk about something good!!!! It was delicious. If I keep on I think I might even convert my husband to low carbing. So far he loves the recipes that I cook! I talked to a friend I have not seen in several months and she had the lap band surgery, and lost 115 pounds, and says she has to eat 5-6 tiny meals a day. I really felt sorry for her, because I do NOT starve or eat tiny meals!!!! The pounds continue to come off and its really not hard. I don't even think of myself on a diet, just that I can't eat the things that my body does not tolerate well.....HIGH CARBS!!! Do yourself and your friends a favor and kindly introduce them to low carbing, they will thank you for it as their weigh falls off!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I will try to take more pics of the new recipes that I try as I go along. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here I am 59 working, losing weight, and back in school!!!!! Wow is that me? I wonder sometimes, because for a while I was just settling for growing old and letting my dreams pass me by.....No more!!!!! I am convinced now that I can do it all!!!!</span>Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09388317671134982425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583193729555384045.post-22807768551723028142012-02-25T17:41:00.004-08:002012-02-25T17:41:33.369-08:00You CAN have frozen treat!Thanks to Jennifer on her blog at Splendid Low Carbing at:<br />

So if your not losing as quickly as you should be, you should journal and it will help you keep on track. I think it sells for about 12.99 at Books-a-million.Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09388317671134982425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583193729555384045.post-48285758637723058622012-02-22T00:40:00.001-08:002012-02-22T00:40:43.284-08:00Hit my 60 pound weight loss mark today!!!Was very tired when I got in from work yesterday, but, I was thinking as I got on the scale yesterday evening, now I know better than to weigh in the evenings cause usually my weight is up in the evenings.

<b><span style="color: #444444; font-size: x-large;">Low-Carb Taco Bake!</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Yesterday evening I pulled out my wonderful Low Carbing Among Friends and cooked the Low-Carb Taco Bake. OMG it was so easy to cook. What was funny, while I was preparing the bottom layer from the heavy cream, eggs, taco seasoning, and cheese, my husband said you really think that is going to make a good bottom for the dish? I told him yes, just wait and see. Well after I removed it from the oven he was in the kitchen with me wanting to dig in!!!! So I cut him a slice and he tasted it and after two bites, he said "this is some good stuff" You can make this again....lol like I needed permission to cook it for him!!!! He then said you know this would also be good for breakfast, to which I quicky agreed. This morning before I left for work, I did eat a slice and it was goooooooooood!!!! I will definately make it again! The recipe can be found in the Low-Carbing Among Friends on page 294. And it is induction friendly at 4.0g of net carbs. Yep...low carbing definately does not have to be drab. I just love my Low-Carbing Among Friends Cookbook!!!!</span></div>Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09388317671134982425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583193729555384045.post-66345183933814169452012-02-20T03:50:00.000-08:002012-02-20T03:50:17.824-08:00How to do Induction PhaseI have seen several posts on the web about how to do the Atkins Induction Phase. It can be a little bit confusing but, if your confused here is how you do it according to the Atkins Diet. It's not really hard at all, but you have to limit your carb intake to just 20 Grams of Net Carbs a day for at least 2 weeks (I chose to say on it, and I have been on it since two weeks before Thanksgiving and have lost 58 pounds so far). And if you don't know what net carbs are, they are the only carbs that have a direct impact on your blood sugar.You just eat to satisfy your hunger with hi protein and good fats. Yes I said fats! You can have up to 3 cups of salad greens a day or two cups of salad and a cup of non starcy veggies. As for me, I love to take summer Squash and slice them long ways and then spray olive oil on them with salt, pepper, and maybe some garlic. I then sprinkle some parmesean cheese over it and throw the squash right on the grill besides my meat. You know, I hear some people complain about Atkins/low carb diets being so costly. You can choose cheaper meats and still stay on the diet. You gotta eat! So why not eat good? I love the Atkin's Diet. And remember, you must go through all the phases of the Atkins to have a higher success rate of keeping off that excess weight you lose. Beleive me, take it from someone who lost over a hundred pounds not once, but twice, then went back to eating the way I did before Atkins!!!! I gained it all back and then some. Do yourself a favor and go through the phases explained in the Atkin's Book, it is after all a really good way to lose weight. For further info you can go to the Atkins website for more info. Good morning and hope you have a great low carb day!!!!Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09388317671134982425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583193729555384045.post-71307139733790397982012-02-19T14:18:00.001-08:002012-02-19T14:18:23.082-08:00Please be patient with me<span style="color: #a64d79;">Just a quick note ...I am completely new to blogging, so please be patient with me as I learn to develop this page...</span><br />

WowOne of my weakness's was I truly missed hot cocoa. I just found this awsome recipe for hot cocoa online.<br />
1 cup heavy cream<br />
1 cup water<br />
2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa power<br />
1 1/2 -2 Tablespoons Splenda<br />
2 Tablespoons Vanilla Whey Protein powder<br />
Pinch of salt<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Over the lowest heat possible combine the cream and water. When they are starting to get warm, add the cocoa, Splenda, protein powder, and salt; whisk until well blended. Bring just barely to simmer and then pour into cups.<br />
yield: 2 servings (great to share with a friend)<br />
Each with 10 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber and 15 grams of protein.<br />
That is 8 net carbs!!!<br />
<br />
Wow...how good is that???Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09388317671134982425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583193729555384045.post-10426062942146528162012-02-19T04:54:00.002-08:002012-02-19T04:54:17.013-08:00If you know of any Low Carb Sites, please post their url here.<br />

I was doing good, but now I am doing even gooder....hmmmm is there such a word? LOL<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I have been doing research on every low carb site I could find and have bought several low carb recipe books, and what I found out is this: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO low carbing definitely have to be drab nor boring!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I will be continually researching and looking for more low carb sites and recipes and trying them out because although I have lost 58 pounds, I will be keeping them off this time!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />

Although the Atkins way of life is great, you have to follow through the phases to be successful. I have never gone through the phases like I am supposed to do according to Atkins. This time I feel like I finally have to roadmap to success!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />

After years of wishing I could find someone who will love me for me and not make me feel like my net worth is tied to my weight, finally I found what I had been looking for, but, wait, why can’t I just get on a diet and lose weight? <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I tried every diet I could, Weight Watchers, medical diets, Dr. Howards diet, oh yeah that one really worked until my medical doctor found out about and went ballistic on me and informed me that I was taking legal speed!!!! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Legal speed, what the heck was that? <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>He told me that it was basically just that….speed, only my diet doctor gave it to me. <span class="apple-converted-space"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">My husband was funny, one day he asked me, can you tell that those pills are affecting you any???? <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>That was when we were in Wal-Mart…I told him no, why? <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>To which he informed me, all the past times we have been shopping <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I literally dragged around barely making it through the store and constantly asking him to slow down so I could catch up with him, and now he was having to chase me around!!!! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Well I did get off that diet immediately!!!! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>And until about two weeks before Thanksgiving 2011 I had not been diet serious. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>When it hit me, it was like a ton of bricks, either I lose weight or I am going to die young! <span class="apple-converted-space"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Did I say young? <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Hmmmmm here I am 58 and I finally realized that I am NOT old and I am worthy!!! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>So I dragged out my Atkin’s book but yet I could not seem to read it, so I downloaded the Atkins Essentials and the new Atkin’s Diet Revolution and put it on CD, and my IPhone…and I listened to it every day for a couple of weeks, and it finally hit me why I never kept the weight off. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I never went through the phases like I should have and when I lost the weight; I went back to eating carbs, therefore ballooning back up to 323 pounds!!!! <span class="apple-converted-space"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Reality check time. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Do I want to die young? <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Please no jokes, I AM NOT OLD!!!!! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>What I am is worthy and I want to live!!!!!!<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Since two weeks before Thanksgiving, <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I have been back low carbing and the weight although it is not dropping as quickly as when I was younger, it IS dropping and I am at the 58 pound weight loss mark!!!! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Goooooo Me!!!!!<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s where I thought it would get tricky. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I always felt low carbing was drab and a drag. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>How wrong could I be?<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I started looking up all the low carb sites that I could find, and what I found out is that I am not stuck with just meats, eggs, green veggies, and cheese, but instead I found out there is a whole other world of eating out there for carb intolerant individuals like me. <u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br />
