I think ...Sugar-laden foods can be quite addictive. I think that's exactly the purpose of them. And that's a way for food manufacturers to make the big bucks.<br /><br />I am a very liberal-minded person and sexuality is not an issue for me. If my daughters were gay, it wouldn't bother me in the least. And they know that. My only concern is for them to be happy.Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049713508865658990.post-55683017108451289982015-05-02T16:54:28.997-07:002015-05-02T16:54:28.997-07:00Thanks Marion.

I could try those reverse crunches too with my legs up. I hope to get some information soon about my shoulder.

I was even thinking last night I was wishing I hadn't mentioned it yet again here. Lots of thinking to do.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104693042948517678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049713508865658990.post-27102279690995563932015-05-02T05:12:45.508-07:002015-05-02T05:12:45.508-07:00Hi Natalie, I really resent injuries and feel bad ...Hi Natalie, I really resent injuries and feel bad that you have to go through that. It's pretty deflating, so I understand your tone. If walking bothers your shoulder, do not walk. It's weird how one part of the body, like a shoulder, can hurt from something like walking if it wiggles too much. But if it doesn't bother you, you try a little walking. Maybe you could try exercises for which you lie on your back--ab exercises where you raise and/or twirl your legs in the air. Even a few minutes of that may make you mentally feel better about your exercise effort. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049713508865658990.post-68269901817788351902015-05-02T03:48:54.619-07:002015-05-02T03:48:54.619-07:00Natalie just in case you have any doubt, I'm o...Natalie just in case you have any doubt, I'm on the side that " doesn't want to derail weight loss". <br /><br />Since I have been following you, I think you are addicted to sugar, you are just too defensive about it all the time. Yes you can go without eating it for a week (sometimes) but at one point, you can't help it and you get some and then some more. I have 2 daughters and a wife, I am really aware that at some point in the month, I have to step away between them and sweets, but that was happening only for a day or two. After this, they were back to normal.<br /><br />Haven been on this journey for as long as you have and with the result you have, you owe it to yourself to fight this addiction, don't you think? I feel like when you take this turn in the "without" direction, you started right away to focus on it. Maybe you should get some frame where you don't have to take decision about how much to have. Don't keep it at home, if you need to have some, limit the amount by finding a way that work for you. Get every one on board, maybe there is a place in your home that can be luck and Tim could have the key so that you can't get there! When you can't help it anymore, have just a little amount (Tim should give it to you). Do not accept to derail, stay focus. At one point, get off sugar, you will see, your body will not stop functioning because of that. <br /><br />You really have to find YOUR way to manage it. I'm just giving you some suggestions from what I think but from over a few continents away, what do I really know!<br /><br />Sorry to see you still have a shoulder issue, not that I'm pushing it but... walking should be fine :)<br /><br />On the gay show, I told my daughters when they were in their teen that if they ever found out they are gay, they didn't need to hide it from us, we care only for their happiness, we have no business in their sexuality. <br /><br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738870796987568040noreply@blogger.com
