Hi,

Thanks for the posts. I guess I was feeling down when I wrote this. I had been back on the wagon and being really good for three weeks and no loss. I was feeling sorry for myself. I remembered hearing people say they couldn't lose weight because of their health and sometimes it was just laziness. Of course, other times they really had problems that worked against them. I thought how ironic that I really have a problem that doesn't just slow weightloss down, but actually prevent it. Then to top that off I knew people wouldn't actually believe it and think I just needed to put the fork down and get moving. Yeah, like that is going to work ... exercise makes me sicker.

I suffer from Dercum's Diesease (see the link in my siggy line for further info, if you want) and getting fat and staying fat is one of the symptoms. Research shows people it's just about impossible for DD sufferers to lose weight even if they were to have stomache stapling surgery. There is something wrong with the fat, besides it becoming tumors.

I have tweaked lc every which way, avoiding dairy, salt, processed foods, no frakenfoods here, more carbs, less carbs. It makes no difference.

I take tons of supplements supporting the thyroid, protecting the heart, and fighting chronic inflammation.

I will be posting regularly in my journal again soon. If nothing else, I have interesting recipes at times and write about the antics of my children.

I love any visitors.
