well, I haven't felt this way since starting my new lifestyle change. I had a stomach bug over the weekend that took me right out and this week I've been suffering with cramps, bloating and um, gas. I finally went to the doctor today and he game some pills that should eliviate the pain. I haven't slept due to this problem in 3 days and I've been loading up on bread (lots of bread)cuz it's the only thing my body would tolerate. I haven't exercised in a week and I'm a little depressed about it. I've worked so hard to get to where I am right now and I don't want to fall back into my old pattern.
I just needed to vent because I'm feeling really sucky right now. :cry:

    I got sick last week too and didn't work out for about five days. I didn't lose a lot, but I tried to do what I could, and now that I'm better you just have to pick it up again...

    You can do it!

    You did great before getting sick. You can do it. Just get yourself better and jump back on the wagon so to speek. We are our best motivators. YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING. Good luck. Hope you get to feeling better soon. Melissa

    Nice thing about a new day, is everything starts fresh. Especially choices we make in life.

    Sorry you've been so ill, and hope you shake it soon. I may be wrong but if you are filling up on lots of bread, doesn't the yeast in bread cause gas? Can you handle something like crackers or maybe tortilla wraps may not have all the yeast. I'm sure doc. told you to keep yourself hydrated. I know when I got sick like your talking I couldn't keep anything down and I got dehydrated and that makes you feel ten times worse. I have recently heard that strawberries have more vitamin c in them then oranges. Well wish there was something I could do for you, for now I will send some hugs and a prayer.:heart:

    Thanks for everyone's kind words. I went to bed shorty after my post.
    The meds the doctor have given me have worked beautifully. I was even able to exercise this morning!! :drinker:
    It's a beautiful day here in the Toronto area, 23C!! The sun is shinning and everybody (including me) is very happy!
    Enjoy your day everyone! :flowerforyou:
