Greeky's Baby Steps

greeky and jenny I didn't know that thing about BC actually causing weight gain, I always thought it just increased the appetite. Well, everyday you learn something :). I never ever had any probs with my BC.

As for accutane that stuff sounds scarry greeky!! And it sounds like it doesn't fix the root of the problem either, seems justl like a symptomatic cure, since the acne still come back after years of treatment! Can't you try some alternative medicine treatments ( herbs and such)? I am a firm believer in these, as they've helped me time and again!
 
I didn't have any long-term effects from the accutane at all. Once I stopped taking it I went back to normal. Oh, yes, another thing, I don't know if you wax at all, eyebrows, etcetra, but don't do it while you're on accutane. I had my eyebrows done and the skin came right off with the wax:cry:
If I can think of anything else I'll let you know:wave:
 
Sorry, forgot about the supplement part, I was taking a variety of herbal supplements at the time also for weight loss. Ask your doc what you can and can't mix with the accutane or if you have a list of things you're wondering if you can take, my girlfriend is a pharmacist and I can check with her for you:thumb:
 
dalila, which herbs and vitamins should i take?

accutane is basically mega dosing a vit A derivative

add another meal: all bran w lc milk

craving just a fun/bite sized thing of chocolate
feel like shit, nauseous and cranky

i dont wax currently, i tweeze

sorry for the short answers ladies, i feel sick and am going to bed now good night thanks for answering my questions muahh

if you could turn off the bold, it would make reading your posts easier on the eyes. :)
 
LoL @ NT I don't mind either way but sure

Good Morning Velvet! I am great. I got an egg crate thing for my bed finally! The first time I heard it, I thought JenJen meant actual egg crates you know the paper or styrofoam ones lol. I had said damn you'd need to eat a lot of eggs :laugh: So yeah. the egg crate made my bed a lottttt more comfortable. My back still needs a tiny bit more support so I dunno what I will put under it, but it was weird bc I didn't need a pillow under my knees like I usually do. I usually sleep with a pillow under my knees and a rolled up towel or sweatshirt under my back, and I am still only so-so comfortable. I am wondering since I have a bad back and joints now how much Accutane will kill me. Better get those fish oils, altho does anybody know if they stress the kidney or liver? Gotta watch that..

My premed friend tells me a good reason to take the BC during accutane is because the steady est/test levels will help my liver detox the accutane quicker and therefore prevent liver damage :shrug:

m1 (big cuz i got up late so its like two meals) 1/2c oats, all bran and lc special k w lc milk (yummm) blues
m2 turkey on 2 slices lt mg bread
m3 lc granola bar, coffee w milk
m4 chix salad coffee w hh

Sorry, about that, I didn't realize it was so hard on the eyes, it's just the

opposite for me, I can read it better when it's bold, but I'll certainly turn it off for you:wave:
 
thanks ... but Greeky said it doesn't matter either way and it's her journal, so you do what you'd like. :)
 
I must be getting old.. Bold is easier on my eyes too :laugh:
 
hehe, I just want to make everybody happy!

I am happy with my meals, except for all the coffees with half and half at the diner. I am really hungry right now but I am too fat to eat anything this late
 
Viv- your meals yesterday looked GREAT :thumb: . If you get really hungry at night, why not just have a 1/2 cup of LF cottage cheese or something small. I eat everynight usually before bed.
 
I forgot to add a bunch of grapes to yesterday!

Good morning Velvet! Whatcha doin today? :)
 
Thanks ncgirl! Like I mentionned in my last post, I had grapes before I went out. As for the cottage cheese, I bought some and tried to eat it again and it really has too much lactose for me. I can handle most dairy but I am not too good with the CC. I was going to have either all bran w lc milk or sliced turkey, but I decided not to eat at all. I really, really need to lose weight. I dunno :shrug:
 
I usually have a protein shake w/ popcorn so I'm not the best person to be giving advice on what to eat before bed, but I don't see anything wrong with grapes, turkey or the cereal you mentioned. The weight will come off Viv, I promise- just stick with it!! :D

STOP CALLING YOURSELF FAT!!! :p :D

How about a protein shake with water at night if you are hungry??
 
Patience girlie.;) Glad you didnt eat 'bad stuff' last night!:thumbs:
 
Girls, just a reminder that I don't do protein shakes anymore for a long time now.
 
GBC, the name of your journal says it all. BABY STEPS.. you just need to keep on making them. and at the same time, STOP calling yourself hurtful names. you are not fat, you are beautiful, and you are sweet and intelligent and smart. Never forget those things that the scale cant tell you!

now keep up the good work!
 
Thanks lakergirl. I am definately making progress in my eating, but not my workouts. I haven't been to the gym since last week. It sucks that I let work and not sleeping and my stupid tummyaches get in the way. I am so tired due to not working out. I am going later today. But I can't get comfortable. I am at a higher weight than I've been in years. :(
 
Greeky ... now that you are getting some sort of healthier eating regimine, you must now tackle the gym. You are correct when you say you're letting being tired, work, etc affect whether or not you go to the gym. Everyday you sound a bit more frustrated about your weight ... I can see the turnaround day coming soon. The day where you decide that enough is enough and you'll become a gym nut. The lbs will start to fall ... the bf will fall with it and for the first time in a while, you'll like what you see in the mirror. That day is coming soon ... :thumb:

that motivates me to motivate you ... :hehe: ;)
 
Thank you Jenny. It goes beyond the big stuff tho, you know? Like right now, I can have a plate of cookies or a bowl of sugary mints in front of me ALL day and not touch even one crumb. I can cut the cakes and pies and cheesecakes for the dessert tray and NOT taste them. I think it's a mental victory, that I can stay away, more than anything else. And yeah, it should help me lose weight too ;)

NT, I had bought them last summer and I didn't really fit into them but they were on sale bigtime. Then in October, I wore them on halloween as part of my angel costume. I was getting serenaded by frat boys from their balconies :laugh: I got a lot of lame pickup lines that night too. It wasn't something I'm used to but it definately felt nice. I had to change in the car tho, there was no way I was going to walk out of my house in those white pants. I wasn't wearing any underwear :shhh: :hehe:

So yeah, those white pants are among the MANY things I want to wear when I get in shape. I am going to be a worse shopper than Jilly!!!!!
 
It definitely is a mental victory :thumbs: It's the first step! Just think about the white pants ;)
