Oh Betsi, tell us how you're doing. I sometimes have that feeling of shaky and claminess. I know you will, but please keep an eye on this.

Gayle...I don't know what's going on with all of us, but it needs to stop now!

Hi everybody! I'm still in the hospital, but I should get out at 5 this afternoon. It is a 72 hour fast, and I've only had ice water since 8pm Sunday. My blood sugar has been between 71 and 101, which is great! So that means that it's from my diet. My body over reacts to carbs and sugar, and dips wayyy too low. I feel pretty good today. I took a tramadol for my headache and it takes the edge off. I got to take an ambien last night, and I found earplugs in my purse so I slept much better!

I'm trying to pay close attention to my body and mind. I have found that my very first reaction to stress of any kind is an intense need for food. But if I just stay with it for awhile, it passes. I've also realized how much time I spend thinking about food...like what I've eaten, and what I will eat next. I just need to try to remember to be aware and vigilant.

Right now what I want is a glass of tea with Splenda

There is nothing that makes you start thinking about your health than a wake up call! I had mine a couple of years ago and am trying to do better with my eating habits. You can do it!!

Hope you are out of the Hospital now. Or getting ready to be released. So sorry you are having problems. You are in my prayers. I hope you can get a good diet plan that will help. Keep us posted. Hugs...

That is good news Betsi. Your insurance should pay for some sessions with a nutritionist. That would probably help. Issues with food are really very hard to deal with. You see, if you want to quit smoking or quit drugs you can stop and never smoke or take the drug again. It's not like that with food, because you can't stop cold turkey, you must eat. So controlling the type and amount of food can sometimes be harder than tobacco or the like.

Oh boy! I hope you are feeling better, Betsi! If it's not one thing, it's another!

You are in my prayers!
