Hi, Lynne, I can't believe you lost your pet just one month after me losing mine. It was so sad to read how she left this world. I got really choked up. I know exactly that empty feeling you have right now. Every day for about a week I cried hard. As I'm writing this it is bringing those memories back of my cat and how he looked on his last three days. I don't want to remember him that way and I don't know when that memory will fade. They do deteriorate fast. What you're going through is not fun, it hurts so bad. Just yesterday we were talking about Will Lee and I still got a big lump in my throat and had to stop talking because I was on the verge of crying about him. The first week is the absolute worst and you'll just have to go through all the pain and all the sadness. What seemed to help was that my kids and I buried Will Lee in our backyard and we made a stepping stone in his honor and some butterfly windchimes and I planted a perennial directly over his body. We also have his picture glued and sealed on a rock that will stay out there too. It was extremely hard to do at the time but I like seeing it now. Lynne, I feel your pain and I will pray for you and Chiffon today. Go through you grief, just cry, just be sad, let it out. Chiffon lived a full and beautiful life being loved and cared by you.
Hi, Lynne, I understand about what you're saying about trying to help others and it's like wasting time because they aren't getting your point. BUT how about starting a group of us old-timers who already know the "rules"? This way we have a place to always connect and keep in touch and let others know how we're doing. Just a thought. Absolutely no pressure. It's just that you're really the only one who could pull it off.
HI Lynne,
Nope, no animals.........how do I find lindas page..........? what is her last name..
Sorry about her cat.............we become so attached..........they become family........
Oh, is it Linda W.........?
Hi, Lynne, pink is a gorgeous color on you! I love your new pics. You look fabulous and keep up the good work on your diet. It's wonderful how you're doing so well.
I knew for some reason you used EFT. Maybe you told me before. I was also thinking of seeing a therapist who uses EFT. I'll let you know if I do, but for right now I use it on myself.
The no grain diet is basically eating right for your metabolic type. You are either one of the three different types: protein type, carb type or a mixed type. I took the test that is outlined in the book The Metabolic Typing Diet and found I'm a protein type and that's why p2 did not fend well for me. I was not getting the right amount of protein. Basically p2 foods is all carbs and a minimum protein. Remember how much I suffered on p2? Well, now I know. So I'm eating 40 percent protein, 30 percent fat and 30 percent carbs but only the non-starchy carbs. No sugar because that triggers sugar cravings. It's interesting and I'm slowly applying the strategies.
Have you thought of starting a community like Wendi did and inviting all our old friends back? I think you could do it with your personality. Anyhow, think about it.
Hello, I didnt' have a big garden, just enough for me to have yellow squash, zucchini, spinach, corn, etc... the weather has been so wet the weeds have been so overgrown... hard to keep it weeded when it is so darn muddy or rainy! but it has been fun and organic :)
My diet I do eat what I want but i still eat organic... I do NOT go out to eat a lot or splurge like that. Rarely do I go out and if I do I just have something lean. I whink last week I went to Waffle house and had an egg sandwich on wheat bread lol
Hi, Lynne, thanks for the nice words. They mean a lot to me. Really. I do have peace about putting Will Lee down with just a smidgen of guilt. My daughter called me selfish for keeping him alive and that kind of stung to hear that. That's kind of the reason I decided to have Pete bring him in, I thought maybe I was being selfish, but gosh, I did love him all the way up the the end. I wanted him to make a miraculous recovery. It's hard and I'm glad you haven't gone through anything like that because I know for a fact that you love your dogs as much as I loved my Will Lee.
Have you ever heard of EFT (emotional freedom technique)? I'm reading this book called "The No Grain Diet," by Dr. Mercola and I like what I'm reading so far. EFT seems like something you might have tried. Just curious.
Hey Lynn, long time no chat :) I see you are still maintaining also :) same here... I still struggle with 5 pounds but for 19 months i've NEVER gone over my last injection weight :) I have a garden this year and still eat about 80 % organic. All is well on my end. Looks like you have the same success... .I see from the original gang you are the only one I know... Where did Wendi go? I'm sure there is a story there lol
Hey, I did google Rainbow Bridge and it was a very nice poem. It made me cry, again. I'm going to show it to my kids who are taking Will Lee's death harder. We got to bury him in our backyard and now we have made a beautiful little area above where we buried him with a plant and some rocks that we wrote on and sealed them from rain and sun damage. The last three days were so hard because you know in your heart he is not going to recover and you have to watch. We actually put him down which may have been worse than letting him die naturally. I guess I don't know what is worse. I just kept thinking did we do the right thing, you know? I know we did because Dayna took pictures of him on his last day of life and I can see he was on death's door. He never would have recovered. The only thing that kind of haunts me is that I wish I would have petted him more or served him his favorite dish of tuna more. I know I was a good mom to him as I know you are with your dogs, but there is always room for improvement. I could have been better. That is my only regret. Thanks for your kind words.
Hi, Lynne, my cat Will Lee of 20 years died a week ago. Very sad for me. Just wanted to let you know. It seems so quiet here now without him. He was senile and so he meowed very, very loudly waking us up every night at 3am. It was so sad at the end. I knew something was wrong on Friday because he stopped following me around in the kitchen begging for food, then on Saturday he stopped eating. Then on Sunday he stopped meowing altogether because he was so weak and then on Monday he couldn't walk anymore and I would find him in weird positions on the floor where he tried to walk and then just fell over. I would think he was dead but when I picked him up his head would move a little. He never shut his eyes either so it always looked like he was dead. His breath started smelling foul like his organs were rotting, his breathing was so shallow I could not see his stomach moving up and down. It was really tough to see him that way. He was a great cat and I miss him terribly.
Hey there you...Long time no nothing....i have been trying to remember that other site and cannot for the life of me and decided to come on here since I remembered this one. I was a bad bad girl and have gained most of my weight back...just went back to the stupid fast and easy way of eating...I am moving at the end of the month, back to the beach and back near all kinds of health food stores and health food bars, not to mention skinny bikini bodies...i am ready to do this hcg thing again and need your support. I prefer the other ing site, but please do send me a message with the link or address. I would greatly appreciate it. How have you been??? You look absolutely fabulous in your pics...how are the furry children?...miss you all, Steph
Hi Lynee,
Thank you so much for the offer of help and suggestions. You did wonderful....wow, I am impressed.............are you aware of any health issues that might interfer with loosing weigh? I have insulin resistance metabolic syndrome.....so it is really hard for me I can be really good, and not loose a pound.......so I give up and don't do well. although I juice, eat organic, very little meat..........etc, etc......I keep gaining as a matter of fact...........but please tell me more about your sucdess.
Thank you again.............................
Hi, Lynne, I got the same message from Carlos. I think he may be two-timing on me with you!!! The raw mango pie is just okay. I didn't really like the almond crust. I just like the frozen mango that I pureed which I guess saves me on calories if I don't eat the crust. I made some raw energy bars that I like way better and some raw hummus that takes second place.
I have a 20 year old cat that is in the same situation as your doggie. My cat Will Lee is peeing and pooing on my carpets and it's getting costly to have them professionally cleaned. I just spent $250 a week ago and he has already pooed twice and peed once that I've caught. I'm sure he pees more, but I don't catch him. I just don't have the heart yet to put him down. My husband got him as a house-warming gift in 1989 when he bought his very first house. I've know Will Lee for 15 years of his life so I'm attached.
I'm a size 14 now. Want to be a 12 like I was at my lowest after hcg the fifth time. I've been on the raw plan for seven days now and I did sneak a peek this morning at my weight and it did go down five pounds so I'm happy with that. I think I will stick with the raw until I plateau. I feel really good and my RA is gone so why not stick with something that works for me. The food is way better than p2 foods, that's for sure. I haven't counted calories yet, but I might have to after I plateau. I'll let you know how it goes.
The raw foods where I go is WAY different than where you go. It's more of a hippie thing here, not a high-heels type of thing. I guess there are the nicely dressed, but more of the earth friendly people or hippies.
Did you know Carlos started a new group? He would probably want you there.
