I'd like two gallons of Loretta's willpower, please.financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-21387484578090081572009-11-11T17:47:52.064-08:002009-11-11T17:47:52.064-08:00CAT: So true!

And I eagerly look forward to more decrease in pain. I have experienced some already, and it is so encouraging. I agree with your husband, I take a liquid supplement that has those ingredients, and believe it helps, too. I have arthritis, and it makes a huge difference when I decrease sugar (which causes inflammation) and get in the right nutrition and supplements.<br /><br />DIANE: Thanks, Diane. Yes, Iearned a lot from Dr Phil's book. It was written in down home style, not too much psycho-babble, LOL, and was a simple plan to follow. And I liked that I could take the principles, yet insert my own nutrition plan that worked for me. It's so great to read about people, like YOU, who have done it and are maintaining it. Very encouraging!<br /><br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-8970578378525712542009-11-11T13:18:03.239-08:002009-11-11T13:18:03.239-08:00Congratulations on how well you are doing!

You really are never "cured" but rather have learned how to make the choices day after day and year after year.Diane Fit to the Finishhttp://www.fittothefinish.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-71121085049437550652009-11-11T12:04:03.624-08:002009-11-11T12:04:03.624-08:00Loretta, I love your insights.

Honest.<br /><br />Here are some future payoffs to keep in mind: your back and other aches and pains will lessen as you lose the weight. Some will disappear entirely.<br /><br />In the meantime, my husband swears by glucosamine 750/chondroitin 600 from GNC. From a car accident, he suffered a broken back. Had a spinal fusion thing and says this supplement helps him. It takes a few weeks to start to work. I've started taking it to help my arm. It's for joints though, so I"m not sure how it does with muscles.antgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292057889814780426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-16877149243639220192009-11-11T10:29:21.536-08:002009-11-11T10:29:21.536-08:00Yes, sometimes you just have to work on what can y...Yes, sometimes you just have to work on what can you do in the next five minutes, let the rest of the universe deal with it...

HubbyDearest came home with $11 worth of bavlava... one of my favorites!!! AARRRGGGHHHH!!! and a big GGRRRRR for good measure! No, I am not eating it... it is not "bad", it's just that I have chosen not to eat sugar on this journey. <br /><br />But I was sooo upset! He was in fear of his life--and rightfully so--and he at least put it in the old fridge that is outside on the patio. I told him I don't even want to SEE it! I felt totally sabotaged, angry, hurt, rebellious, jealous, frustrated... did I leave any out??!! <br /><br />Anyway, I did eat too much roasted chicken at dinner... sigh.. but dang it, I didn't eat bavlava. You'd think something like that would be history by now... but no, I still have favorites that call my name! Long story just to say, goodie goodie for me, I got to CHOOSE tonite. And Hubby just might live through the night... maybe... ;-)<br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-64259823835934114652009-11-10T21:56:53.823-08:002009-11-10T21:56:53.823-08:00P.S.
