My procedure was successful. I have a long and twisted colon or a tortuous colon (funny name)- how does that spice up your Friday night? That accounts for my problems and I was told to eat more fiber. Ok. I'll try but I am not a big veggie eater and I prefer summer fruits. I do have my bottle of Benefiber though --- take that veggies!
No news is good news I hope. On all of the other fronts of my life no new news on anything pressing. Makes me have this kind of uncomfortable comfort if that is at all possible. I felt this so much I relaxed today and pampered myself a bit with a mani/pedi. They always make me feel great. The massage chair at the place was friggin' awesome. Almost felt like a real person massaging me which is sort of creepy when you think about it. I caught a quick sale at Macy's and updated my makeup a bit. I do take time every now and then, as we ALL should, to pamper myself. This leads me to something I may have a new addiction to - shopping!
It makes me feel better and that is what I am supposed to be doing - feeling better. However, lately if I see a sale I am all over it. I have lost over 40 pounds (and I'm still losing) in the last year so I do need new clothes. That is my main excuse but I can't resist looking and trying on new things. I never liked shopping before. I never had enough money or I was sort of forced to do it with my grandmother and mother when I was young and I wasn't allowed to pick out anything for myself. They did all the choosing. I hated that! I get to do the choosing now! I fit into a size I am happy with so I have more choices than I have had over the past years. Shopping also make me feel good. Lifts my spirits though sometimes I do have that buyer's remorse but I get a loving word from my husband and it passes ; ].
I hope this blog doesn't sound too shallow. I'm not a material person at all! Believe me never have and never will be. I just see things a little differently these days and this shopping thing is something I am liking. Takes my mind off a lot of the bothersome things.
Congratulations on getting healthier! I think it's important to celebrate your success and your new comfort in your body. If that means a few new items for your closet- go for it!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the other issues, I'd be happy to offer ideas on how to sneak more veggies and fiber into your diet. I've had some similar struggles, but without any clear answer as to why. I've identified some food sensitivities, stopped over eating and amped up my fiber intake. If you really don't like the taste of veggies, you might try a smoothie. It sounds strange, but here's a recipe for one that Mikayla LOVES! It looks a little scary, but trust me, it really is tasty. If you want a little more sweetness, agave necture is good. I add strawberries to mine.
