I was able to make it for a weigh in after all this last Thursday, on my way to the airport to fly to Coventry. I had to pop in for my food packs and Mary had time to weigh me. I'd lost 7.5 lbs over the previous 2 weeks, which means I'm now over halfway to my goal! :-) I expect the rest to come off more slowly than the first half but am hoping I'll be down to my goal weight by Christmas at the latest.

I had a fantastic few days in Coventry, staying with the organiser of UK Ravelry Day and staffing a stall for Stitches on the Bridge. The overall flavour of the event was not at all unlike big belly dance events I've been to and/or organised myself - a huge number of women with a passion and all the extremes of opinions and feelings that go with it! The hero-worship of the knitting gurus was very familiar to the adoration of the belly dance stars too! It was a very interesting and eye-opening experience altogether! And I don't deny that I got a little caught up in the fandom, though I like to think I'm a bit older, wiser and less impressionable than I was when I was immersed in the belly dance scene... All that said I was very taken with the unassuming charm of Jared Flood and Meg Swansen. I also had my first exposure to the utter delight of a live-on-dvd Elizabeth Zimmerman, the now-deceased mother of Meg Swansen. What a joy! I'm now a big fan of all 3 of them. Ruth aka Woolly Wormhead was also very nice and fun to meet and share a meal with. Jo, the organiser, and her husband Doug were great hosts and really made us feel at home, along with Doug's mum, Christina, and their young children, Robbie, 6, and Zoe, 4. All very off topic for this blog but well worth a mention!

One reason I mention it all is to confess yet again to succumbing to the craving to eat! I had found myself thinking about steak pies last week, and then found myself in a pub restaurant selling just that on Friday in Coventry...! In fact the steak pie in question had the addition of stilton cheese which just made it far too irresistible... I admit it really was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The downside was that I really struggled not to eat for the rest of the day - and failed. I also felt physically uncomfortable, too full. My stomach has shrunk and no longer has the capacity for a full meal. Clearly the slow introduction to real food over the 12 weeks of the Road to Management programme is there for a reason. It was "interesting" (I guess!) to note just how much more difficult it got to resist the craving to eat as the day went on. I was prowling the kitchen in the late evening, desperate to eat something delicious before the self-imposed deadline of a new day prevented me having anything else. It was not good, not comfortable and not healthy.

As a result, as I sat on the return journey plane yesterday, I resolved to aim for 100 days of "abstinence", following the example of the twelve steps, which aims for 90 days. I'm only too aware that I've been sponsored to do this, not to mention that the longer it takes me to reach my goal, the more it's going to cost me and those who are supporting me with the programme costs. My weight loss will slow down as it is, so I can't expect to lose the second half in as short a time anyway. I don't want to go on not being able to eat normal food for any longer than I need to, so the quicker the weight comes off the better.

So my mindset, when faced with food I'd really like to taste (like the many delicious looking home-made cakes at yesterday's UK Ravelry Day!), is back to "This time next year".

On the positive side, here's a wee list of things I'm very happy about:

- I can fit into airline and train seats with no problem at all and perhaps even a little leeway! Last time I flew (in 2007), I had to have an extension to the seatbelt.

- I can just about walk down the isle of the plane and the train without having to move sideways. Emphasis on just about!

- When sitting, I no longer have a big tummy to rest my hands on and can very comfortably sit with my hands in my lap.

- I no longer have to embarrassingly hide a large cleavage when I bend over.

- I can feel all sorts of bone under my skin that I forgot I had!

- I can wear an amethyst bracelet which was a self-chosen present from Laurie in 2003 and to which I used to have to add an extension.

- Today my scales showed 16 stone 6 1/2 lbs.

- The plantar fasciitis in my right foot is a lot less painful than it used to be - a LOT less!

- I can now comfortably cross my legs (how many of you realised that fat people have a problem with that, I wonder).

- Although I'm still quite big, I no longer feel like a fat person.

One of the most distressing aspects of having bacterial vaginosis is that it is rarely an isolated incident. Most women who suffer from this condition will have repeated attacks over a number of years and this is usually in spite of taking antibiotics. Indeed, what many women do not realize is that antibiotics can actually be the cause of repeat attacks!
Bacterial vaginosis natural cures are a much better option and when you understand the nature of BV, it is easy to understand why.
Bacterial vaginosis occurs due to an imbalance of the naturally present bacteria within the vagina. Under normal circumstances, the different types of bacteria live harmoniously within the vagina, with the beneficial bacteria (known as Lactobacillus) controlling the harmful bacteria (known as Gardnerella). When the delicate balance is upset, this causes an overgrowth of Garderella which in turn, causes the unpleasant symptoms of bacterial vaginosis which includes a fishy smelling odor and a gray or white watery discharge. In addition, many women also experience severe irritation and itching around the delicate tissues of the vagina.
Antibiotics work by killing bacteria. The trouble is that they are unable to distinguish between the beneficial and harmful varieties, meaning that all bacteria is eliminated. Temporarily, this will get rid of the bacterial vaginosis symptoms. Unfortunately, as soon as bacteria begins to repopulate the vagina naturally, the beneficial bacteria will not be of sufficient strength to keep control of the harmful bacteria so the whole cycle begins again.
Good bacterial vaginosis natural cures work in a completely different way. Enhancing the bacteria means that it is able to naturally kill off the excess of harmful bacteria naturally. Strategies to treat BV naturally include eating a healthy, balanced diet which should include probiotics, which contain Lactobacillus. In addition, tea tree oil pessaries can help to kill off bacteria is the vagina. Another way to strengthen the good bacteria is to make the conditions in the vagina supportive of Lactobacillus by making it acidic in nature. This can be achieved by adding a couple of cups of cider vinegar to a shallow bath and bathing for 10 minutes.
If you treat BV naturally, the immune system should be strengthened, giving the body the ability to fight and kill the bad bacteria present in the vagina. Simple cures for bacterial vaginosis work very quickly-often much faster than antibiotics and you will begin to feel relief right away.

Mary is an advocate of natural remedies and researches and writes about many related issues. With a particular interest in womens issues, bacterial vaginosis is a condition which she believes is very much ignored by the medical profession and she feels that many practitioners do not appreciate how much this can affect a sufferers life. She feels that this condition can be best treated with natural remedies and has seen much success in this respect.Article Source:http://www.articlesbase.com/diseases-and-conditions-articles/bacterial-vaginosis-natural-cures-treat-bv-naturally-1031402.

My doctor put me on anit-depressants for anxiety and related depression but everytime i go to take them I can't! I have a close friend whose asked me not to take them becuase of the bad side effects i had with effexor ( they put me into a depression) but latley I ve been having trouple with my sleeping and thats the reason why my doctor put me on them to help with the anxiety, depression and my sleep. I respect my friend so much that i cant do it but its not getting better (its still about the same) Would you listen to your friend whose there to help listen and to talk with you to help or my doctor whose just prescribing drugs ?
Answer:
Is your friend a doctor? Didn't think so. I'm sure your friend means well, but your doctor went to medical school, and spend years learning about how medications effect people and when they should be prescribed. He also has a lot of experience with how drugs effect people. If you're not satisfied with your current medication, talk to your doctor about changing it, but don't just stop taking it. Failing to take medication as prescribed can have serious consequences.

You should never stop taking antidepressants without first talking to your doctor, as stopping abruptly can cause significant, and potential dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Also, for anti-depressants to work properly, they have to be taken daily, not just when you feel like it. They take several weeks to achieve their full therapeutic effect, and skipping a few doses can reset that, undermining the efficacy of the treatment.

It's important that you discuss changes in your medication with your doctor, rather than simply changing it yourself. If you are experiencing negative side effects from the medication, then call your doctor and tell him what's going on, and he'll can discuss other options with you. There are many different types of antidepressants, and having had a bad experience with one does not mean you'll have the same experience with others. It's worth at least trying the current medication before deciding you don't want to take it. It generally takes 2-8 weeks for antidepressants to take effect, so if at all possible, you should try it for several weeks before deciding if you want to continue taking it.

There is so much conflicting information out there about the evils of carbohydrates and sugars, that we forget about the benefits of whole grains. Yes, carbohydrates do contribute a significant amount of calories and sugar to our diet. Yes, if overeaten, they will cause you to gain weight. But complex carbohydrates and whole grains provide an enormous benefit to us as well. Glucose, the main component of many carbs, is the body's main source of energy and we need it to continue functioning effectively. The key is to balance your diet. Follow the current recommendations for carbohydrate intake, and always remember to choose 100% whole grain products. There's no need to banish carbs from our diet.
