People have been so nice & writing IS good for the soul. A poem just popped out of me. It's been years!

This forum group is a godsend. I'm very comfortable here and wish I could speak up for myself better out in the real world. Things come up, people ask things of me that I cannot give because I don't look sick on the outside. Well, I look tons better after eliminating gluten but, you know, I look normal to others regardless. People make assumptions and...

My Family Is Recovering From My Celiac
CaliSparrow commented on 1desperateladysaved's blog entry in 1desperateladysaved's Blog
I suffered that debilitating fatigue. People begin to think you're a life-long hypochondriac but you're right, it doesn't make sense to complain for that long every day. It's eye-opening when you get down the road of healing. We've also experienced familial healing though it's just the two of us. It hurts to read about families/loved ones being unsupportive... -
Here I Am, Send The Other Guy

I'm on adrenal support. It's helping. I'm told it will take a few years to correct. That's because I needed to be on it a long time ago. My husband is on it too but only for a few months. It's helping him as well. It's truly better to catch things early on. Keep on keeping on and REST a lot! -
I wonder who else is fascinated by another person's weight loss journey whether it be a friend, somebody on TV or writing in a blog. The psychological journey these people go on in order to lose weight impresses me. There are many demons to fight. I loved the show "Ruby". Well, even though I am coming from the opposite end of the spectrum (needing...

I'm frustrated beyond belief with myself. How long does it take to change behavior brought with me from childhood? I'm a people pleaser. I love to keep the peace. I will do anything for peace. Now, the thing that worked for so many years, people pleasing, is contributing to my illness. "Yes, sure, I can have watermelon." Forget about washing my...

I don't have the energy for nine stitches so I'd better damn well get to it while it's only one.

I am blown away by these kids with disabilities; their challenges and their resilience. How inspiring is this documentary on HBO. Very touching and uplifting.

I must apologize, in advance, for making such bluesy feelings public. Maybe it's a generational thing but I learned as a child that publicizing anything that looked close to "sour puss" just won't cut it. So I'm sorry for that. Maybe this is the start of becoming a genuine human being. I'm sorry for being apathetic today. I was so active yesterday...

I believe I was glutened while glutened. This experience has not been fun. I'm going to eat alone for a while. This is insane.

Pain is my teacher. I don't think I'll need to be reminded again! It hurts right now! *Don't forget*

Can't thank the universe enough for giving me a condition that physically punishes me for being a people pleaser. Thank you for giving me no choice but to change.

Feeding someone gluten and then eating a slice of watermelon without washing your hands is not advised :/ I can't wait for this first year to be over.

The extent to which my life has changed the last six months is nothing less than astounding.
