So, not in any way trying to be facetious, but I truly don't understand why it would be cheating for you. Like, I guess my questions is: when you think about weight loss, do you have some internal rules for them? And if so, what are the rules of weight loss that mean meds would be cheating? And what made you pick the rules…

oh goodness, lol, wrong one. Thanks!

R217 3/22/23 end weight: 259.6 R218 4/1/23 end weight: 258.4 I am struggling with losing as much as I’d like, as quickly as I like, which feels like it just adds stress to my daily life at a time when I already have quite enough to cope with.

Just like I wouldn't consider it cheating if someone who was underweight went on medication to increase their appetite or help them gain weight, I don't consider meds helping us go the other direction cheating either. I honestly have a hard time why anyone would think of it as cheating except if we are assigning some kind…

My eldest kid has POTS - it can be so brutal. I managed to skip that one and got MCAD only (kid has MCAD as well). So a real quick sympathy hug. But also...I have had the yoga recommendation! By so many people. I do not know what kind of extra magic some folks think yoga has, that they recommend it so often, LOL. Wishing…

I just realized that most people may be viewing 'incurable illness' as 'life-threatening illness,' based on responses. I was actually thinking of incurable, but not necessarily life threatening. I myself, and many family and friends, have incurable conditions and illnesses that impact quality of life rather than…

Viewing good health as something that isn't quantifiable seems very viable. Seems like a lot of folks view quality of life as a big part of what they view good health to do for us, and that's just so hard to pin down, as it just means something different for each of us, yeah? And I totally get it making me a more pleasant…

Oh, hey, congratulations! I hope you have a fabulous time. :) Do you feel like you have seen a lot of noticeable positive effects from losing the weight? Is it what you expected, or were their some surprises as your health has changed?
-
OH yeah, 'healthy' is super vague, but that's kind of why I was curious how different people view it, and what they think it can do for them, you know? So, kind of a combination of avoiding some negative situations/consequences, plus having some positives of quality of life, is what you'd say being healthy does for you? Do…
-
Congratulations on beating that crap. I am glad that you are doing better again, since recovering. I know for myself, making my life as livable as I can is definitely one of my motivations in trying to get my body in better shape as I get older.
-
So, then, in your opinion, what healthy does for us is making it more likely we maintain functionality and quality of life, as we get older, yes? But not sure about something you said, so just want to check. When you're mentioning someone saying 'well I could get hit by a car, etc...' and that this is an excuse, do you…

Do you know if they ever checked you for Reactive Hypoglycemia? It is different than 'fasting hypoglycemia' and is when the blood sugar crashes within a few hours of eating (rather than after a long fast without food). The symptoms would track, although I don't know if the tests you had included ones for this. Fasting…

I can't have sugar, gluten, or dairy either (medically restricted diet), so...hope my snacks might be of use? :) So first thing I have is I got a cheap electric ice cream maker. And I make easy 'sorbet' in it with either soft fruit blended up in a blender and just poured in, to make the sorbet, or I cook harder fruit (like…

That if you eat the right things and exercise, then you won't get sick. I'm not saying that taking care of one's body isn't important, but there seems to be a myth that we can't catch bad diseases, or develop diseases based on our genetics, as long as we eat 'healthy' food and exercise.

I think one of the things that I think about, when minimalism is brought up, is how much class is involved in this. There is a kind of difference between 'I have a lot of stuff I buy just because it's fun, I like it, I want it' and 'I KEEP a lot of stuff because I literally can't afford to buy a new X if I need one later.'…

Could be slightly low blood sugar levels. Everyone's blood sugar dips lower at night, but sometimes, even non-diabetics can have their blood sugar level dip a bit lower than expected and have some trouble in the morning until they've eaten something. So if this happens and you tend to eat before you feel better, that might…
