ok, ok, ok... ;D I'll do as you say and slow down. It isn't in my nature!!
I'm also a bipolar, you know and I tend to run manic! I like to be the life of the party but this last year it has been a little hard to keep up with that goal. Maybe soon I will be back on my feet. I will take it slowly and do as I should to take care of myself. I must be getting some nutrients now because I actually have a tad bit of energy. It will be a long time to get those 57#s back. In all honesty, I don't want ALL of them back. I was not terribly fat before but could have stood to lose 10 or 20 pounds. I guess it went overboard. I feel much better knowing that I can get the food in me and it is doing some good now.
Your advice has been invaluable. Just good common sense that I don't have. :
Always enjoy your posts. I am going to peruse the rest of the site now and read what I have been missing lately. take care, and thank you. elaine the rugrat.
