Hello to all! Been meaning to pop in and the days just keep on running way with me - although I have been reading!
Sunshine: Like you, I am all over the board these days. Some pretty good and others I just don't seem to have quite a handle on. Then again, I am just counting this as Day 7 of being back on a "proper" dose of Topa at 50mg in the late afternoon.
When I said "shake it up" I was referring to changing patterns. Such as when you are trying to quit smoking and they tell you that if you smoke in a certain place or at a certain time, change it. That what I was meaning in perhaps shaking up your drinks and what you were doing. It sure seemed that he Guinness to Kuala and then none worked B4. It so hard to figure it out - isn't it?
That grand idea I had of buying that bottle of brandy that night and having only one was grand - until the next day. Then I found myself drinking too much brandy instead of wine and had to do the old trick of pouring the damn bottle out of the way to the coffee maker in the morning. I know me and I KNOW I would have thought in just a few hours that a bit of brandy in my coffee would have been a grand idea. HA! Dammit!
I'm not sure I can catch with everyone, but I did want to comment on "our lowest points". That really hit home for me. Thank you Clare. I think we all deserve a hug to ourselves for stepping up and fighting this battle and while most of us are not quite where we want to be, we ARE in better places then most of us have been in the past ... and getting better. yep. some set backs at times for sure, but I think for the most part, just being involved here speaks volumes for what we really want in our lives and how ready we are to fight for it. =)
And Clare - Yes, the wine hits me in smaller amounts as well. But I wish someone WOULD massage my brain some time. LOL J/K because I know the feeling you are talking about. I don't get the tingle thing at all. but less appetite and SOOOOOOOO tired. I may have a touch of Topa Dopa but I can't tell because I was always drinking wine!
Mum / Anne - Please tell us how it went! I would like to say I was a terrible liar too - but the truth is , when it comes to stuff like this - I amaze myself. HA! I could totally convince myself that I was a long term migraine sufferer and pull that off in a DR's office. But for me - I saw such success with the River product that I am now afraid to even change anything.for what worked for me.
airim; You sure have a boatload on your plate. Hope you are well - so enjoy your posts.
Illum - You crazy chick. LOL LOVED the article and thanks for posting it. WOW - do so many of us see ourselves in that or what??? Congrats on starting the Topa! Wishing you the best on the journey!
Dreams - You have SUCH a great mindset in all of this! I used to take the AllOne too, but stopped long ago. Perhaps I should do that again. Be careful of the weight loss thing - unless it's something you want. Two years ago when I did Topa, it was the reason I had to stop (and it wasn't g for me either) But I looked SICK from too much weight loss. Isn't it amazing (and sad) when we add up the $$$ we spend on AL???? ACK!
Waving hi to Sassy - The weekends ARE the hardest - I think for most of us. Time to cut free, hard to control it all. Baby steps ... we will make it.
And where IS Houtx?????????? Heyyyy Chica????
Must close and off for a brunch with a GF. Good and not so great days but all in all I am feeling a slight "shift" happening again. Gonna kick this damn thing in the arse yet!
Hope everyone has the day they hope for.
Hugs,
WTE
