Uncle ray just sent me some advice on how to attain those svelte figures we all want:

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack.

Alex, I am so excited for you. I'm glad you guys are having it the way you want it, that's the most important thing I think.

You want a song too that means something to you both, not so much if it is a "wedding" song or not.

But I am a rebel that way :lol:

Loved the "yeah, right" silly you shared!

Thanks Patti and Jess for chiming in on the fruit. I'm going to see if I can tolerate eating fruit, I don't know if I have a fructose intolerance or if it's salicylates but it hasn't worked before. It would be nice if i could, it would give me more to choose from and eat. Crossing fingers.....

Phooey on gas prices- I WANT a car that smells like french fries (there goes my very strict Catherine!).

:lol:

There goes your very strict Catherine :lol: ....right out the tail pipe

My Catherine is coming along, there has been no ingesting of sugar for 2 days thus far. I've had grains but those are next to go....baby steps!

Amanda, don't feel too bad. I had this happen at a formal in college :o and my date, who I was very angry with at the time, tried to tell me but I wouldn't listen. So he grabbed the back of my STRAPLESS gown and almost pulled it off! Turd!!!!!!!!!!!

What a turd. He should be banished and made to eat poop!

Amanda, glad your friend caught the skirt in tight thing early enough :lol:

Gas prices, boo. Grocery bills, heinous! Not very silly at all :(

We're at $3.75 and I'm debating on filling up or waiting. Seems like if I wait, it goes up further. If I fill up, it drops back down!!!! Bahhhh!!!

:lol:

It's like dabbling in the stock market...at the gas station!

:lol: Uncle Ray!

Sounds like you're off to a great start! :D

Good luck with fruit--it would be nice if you can tolerate it. It's a refreshing change from the protein and veggies. :)

:lol: OK, this made me laugh

Turd!!!!!!!!!!!

...but for some reason this lone word made me laugh harder ....snort even :lol:

...and yes, skirt tucked in knickers has happened to me :rolleyes: (t'was young and svelte so didn't scare any horses thankfully :rolleyes: )

I had had (?) to use a *gasp* public loo in the town centRE ....got as far as the bank on the corner :lol: when a lady tapped my shoulder.... :lol::lol::lol: oh my GOD!!! I thought I had ERASED that memory from my mind :lol:

He claims that he doesn't sleep as well when I'm not in the bed. So when I come to bed, he must relax and then... PPHHHHHTTT.

Last night, after the normal phart, came a second one about 2 minutes later. This simple break in routine had me in helpless, choking giggles for at least 5 minutes. I had to leave the room.

I've never been called for jury duty. I have no idea why. :huh:

:lol::lol: Sara this totally cracked me up!!!

You just watch, you will get called to jury duty now that you said this!! If you don't think about it or mention it it doesn't happen, but the minute you start thinking, "I wonder why I've never been called"....or, "I wonder if and when I will be called", BOOM! That's when it happens, next thing you know you get your notice to appear.

That's what happened to me, I got by for years without ever being called. Then I started to deeply ponder the whole situation, why haven't I been called, I hope I don't get called, what will I do if I get called....a few months later there was the jury duty letter in my mail box :o

Mygawd.....I, as well, have certainly been choking in bed as a result of DH's pharting, but it has not been from laughter..... <_<:rolleyes:

:lol:

Sounds like you're off to a great start! :D

Thanks Patti :)

How are you doing with the changes so far?

Can't imagine how far that would have gone on if that woman wouldn't have tapped on your shoulder to let you know. Some people don't speak up and say anything, thank god she did :lol:

Chunky poop! With no health benefits!

I don't think I've done the skirt in tights thing.... I have, however, split the butt in a pair of jeans in public. <_<

My diabetic Catherine makes it agonizingly difficult to lose weight once it's on. Very heinously tricky - - adjusting the insulin, modifying exercise time, diligently testing and watching for insulin reactions....just too tough. So, the ten pounds will, I know, stay on. :angry:

I need a more hideous name than Catherine, which is quite lovely, for my diabetes eating plan. I shall call it an Edna. :lol:

:o:ph34r: I'd better start writing down these jury-avoidance methods! :lol:

Well, both of the kids were home yesterday and today with glutenings. Ezra actually had a GI reaction this time. Sigh. When I was doing all that cleaning last week, I found a couple can of spaghetti sauce stuck back in a corner. I dusted them off, checked the date, and threw them in the cupboard. Used them Sunday night. I'm an idiot.

Realized when the copious pooping began on Monday that those were two cans I'd separated out because they had GLUTEN in them. Then they got buried and I forgot about them I guess. I didn't get it as bad, since I didn't eat spaghetti.... just taste-tested the sauce. Mostly I've just been dealing with the heartburn, which can actually get pretty heinous, but at least it's not the pukies.

Walked into an embassy soiree, a black tie affair (astonishing I was even there, come to think of it), and the back of my dress was tucked up in my panty hose. DH did NOT notice, as he was staring at the beautiful female diplomats from Sweden and Spain.....

The Icelandic Ambassador quietly moved beside me and whispered the problem, but his accent was SO thick that I did not understand him.....

"Your dress is in your underwear"....

I thought he said

"More breasts are here. I wonder where?" :o

Gawd........ :lol:

Cause all the women in Iceland are SO ugly, the guys are ALWAYS looking for more breasts. I think Icelandic women could have inverted breasts and they'd still be beautiful.

The Italian diplomat, on the other hand, would have been happy to assist you with both your dress AND your breasts!!!!!!!!!!! :P

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor. 
    • knitty kitty
      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit. 
    • Scott Adams
      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
