Corey, lmao!!!!

I agree with Libby, in all seriousness. We can all only do what we can do. And it is SOOOOOOO different for different people. I mean, for me personally, I feel like making some changes in terms of toxins around my kids (food and environmental) is a MUST, given their pre-disposition to autoimmune. Before having the disease I have, I would never have even thought about it-but I KNOW my mother feels guilt because she wonders if there is anything she could have done differently in my childhood that may have spared me from this. FWIW, IDT there is, and we didn't know all of this stuff before-she has no reason to feel guilt at all. But, again for me personally, I can't know what I know and not change. I have no doubt in my mind that if either of my girls ends up suffering with AI (or something else!) in the future, I will find some way to blame myself, but I just have to try and give them the best chance they can possibly have. (maybe one day they will figure out that AI has nothing to do with any of this anyway, who knows, but for now they can't say that)

But like I said, pre-disease, I would have probably brushed this stuff off, or wished people would post about something else, lmao!

I change hourly from not being pretty lax about it all, to freaking out completely. I'm glad that either way, I'm not alone, lol.

(I am, however, beyond glad that the roads are bad enough to keep me from seeking out chip dip, lmao.)

now i feel like everyone's talking about me behind my back....paranoid...

Really, April? You feel like you're going to croke?

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL

Honestly, I'm just grateful for new threads to read, period. Including this one. I don't remember one of these since the IV days. (Too many pthlates have destroyed my memory.)

so confused.

I think she meant that you said you were feeling the same way as Corey-and Corey's title said we have her convinced she is going to croak. KWIM?

Nooo! Not at all. It was a pic of breakfast - pancakes with marshmallows. Corey made a comment about feeling better that she wasn't the only one to not jump on the MS bandwagon. Totally not talking about you behind your back! But maybe you should add us all on FB just to make sure. ;)

Oh, no not at all. (Sorry, I rarely think about how things are coming across)

I made Hannah a homemade breakfast (props to me) full of a shit ton of sugar (boo to me) and had posted a picture of her in total shock that I had cooked at all, lol.

ftr, I think what you are doing is great. I staddle the fence on what I can handle, mainly because I'm a worrywart. I love that you feel free and excited. Thinking about it gives me a rash. (You are talking to someone who just had to take an anti-anxiety med because the power flickered and I ended up giving myself a panic attack thinking we'd be stuck in 2 degree weather with no power.) I don't know how to do things halfway, so I either don't do them at all, or I go all crazypants.

This makes me sad, Kelly!!! Don't feel that way-I highly doubt that is the case.

We all have different priorities and interests-that is what I love about our little community-we can discuss whatever is near and dear to us!!

i dont do halfway either. hence my overhaul. i think predisposition to anxiety has a lot to do with it, and i think some people are more susceptible to health anxiety (and health research) than others -
same way that some people can be hypnotized easily and others will never go under. it's just one of those brain differences i think.

congrats on cooking breakfast - i suck about cooking breakfast - and if you guys are tongue-in-cheeking about my healthkick on FB - i'm good with it bc i love you guys :)

This is so funny.

It is totally ok if all of you do not want to pick up and move to a yurt and live with Kelly and I :)

Like others have said we are all at different points in our lives. I just am opting to do this for me and my family and that is what counts to me.

Kelly, you have to joing FB with me now. We need to spread our love in other forums,lol

i was actually totally expecting a thread like this.
i thought it was going to happen yesterday.
me and my hippie propoganda.
i do feel like i started this whole thing with my paraben thread from before christmas. or maybe it was my fall reminder to get your moles checked - lmao.

Kelly, do not feel bad in the least. People do not have to do anything or read anything. Just as one would post on TV shows you do not watch or books you do not read. It is all informative and interesting to me. You helped change my life :)

No joke, but I am in awe of you and the fact that you have never ate fast food or pop, etc. I think that is just so impressive.

I actually feel the opposite now of overwhelmed. I feel in control of me for the first time in my life when it comes to health.

Oh, by the way. I am addicted to yoga and everything about it now. I never knew how much it would do for me in terms of mind and body. I suck at breathing though. Who knew it would be so hard to breath,lol

thx, youre sweet.

i suck at breathing too. i dont like thinking about breathing - that's bad for someone susceptible to panic attacks - HA. i always hope it will come more naturally to me, but after all these years, it just doesnt.

That is so not what I wanted to hear about breathing. I tend to be a chest breather and doing this yoga has made me realize how tense I am and how I take such shallow short breaths.

I really hoped it would come easy the more I did this. It is a true lesson to me how crazy my mind is and how it affects me.

I always knew I was crazy and uptight, but dang this yoga is a challenge for a girl like me.

the only breathing "tip" that worked for me was the concept of "breathing into your back" - that would remind me to open up my spine a bit somehow. but seriously - i always think of bringing yoga to the next level (certification maybe??) but i just canNOT get the breathing thing.

I've never done yoga but we've talked about deep breathing at school to help certain kids. One tip I've heard is to lay on your back and put something on your stomach. The point is to breath deep down into your belly so that it goes up and moves whatever object is on your stomach. Just an idea if that correlates to the breathing in yoga. I honestly have no idea.

No, it does. It is just like a baby breaths, but we lose that as an adult with stress and what not.

My problem is breathing and doing the yoga moves all at once,lol. It is like I cannot chew gum and walk at the same time.

It is so unnatural for me to have my stomach go out on when breathing in.
