Sheesh, I had a heart attack last night

A big hug back at you. Get well sister.

Fuck all if I can help him, if he won't accept it....and now he's so dangerously close to losing his mother. too.

I despise saying that, but I am more and more thinking going on like this is not in my best interest.


Mothers who love their children don't think in terms of their own best interest.

It's called unconditional love.

Oh man I'm so sorry that must be so hard on top of everything else you have been through. After everything you have done for him and given to him as his mom!

I'm sure it is very hurtful, but try not to internalize it too much and keep your stress levels down.

I think this is a big societal problem, our current culture doesn't teach children to respect and value their elders, I especially see this with men. Lots of selfishness and a mentality that older people are dispensable.

Not saying this is how your son is, but just Americans in general really don't treat older family members as well as other cultures do and care for them the way they should. Everyone is just too busy with themselves and thinking about themselves.

Hopefully he will come to understand the severity of the situation and be there for you the way he should. I'm sure he will regret it someday if not. Just surround yourself with positive, supportive people who know how to help during a difficult time and try not to let it get to you.

I've thought about you for a bit.

I have a lock on your energy signature now....actually I had it yesterday, so changing your user number isn't going to make a difference. You have a "menace" energy that is unmistakable.

Know that nothing you say to me is going to upset me, or push me over the edge. If anything, the things you've said to me here and elsewhere on GLP now has me stronger.

From this point on, anything you say to me I will consider it to be stalking. I suggest you stop.

This is the last post of yours I'll let remain on this thread, or any other thread of mine.

Can i kick his head in Mrs?

No, no worries, lovey....

Just had you on my mind and was curious how you were and noticed this thread was bumped. I wanted to let you know you had others praying for you and thinking about your well being. Hope you're feeling better!

Hahaha me too!!! I am thinking of you and sending you strength and hugs.

Thanks, youse guyses!....


I'll tell ya, I can use all the prayers and well wishes I can get. I'm working on quitting cigs AND sugar AND meat, all at the same time. Working being the operative word.

I feel like a big ole Homer Simpson....DOH! DOH! DOH!




I'm back to work, which is fabulous, except I wanted to wring my client's throat this morning, because she would ask me a question, I'd start to answer her, and then she'd freaking interrupt me, complaining about the reason for the question. This went on for an hour. Of course, it doesn't help I'm quitting everything like I am. I was in one hella pissy mood this morning.




I got to go shopping at Sprouts in Las Cruces yesterday, and I did buy a half pound of grass fed ground beef to make a small meatloaf with, so I'm going to damn well enjoy that! It's probably my last meatloaf, one of my comfort foods.

I also bought $25 worth of organic vegies and apples and raspberries....heh, the raspberries are already gone. I'll have to get me some more of those on Thursday when I go back. I love 'em.

I figure if I'm stuffing my face with organic fruits and vegies and yogurt, then I won't gain as much weight from quitting the cigs.

I'm just about finished with that pack of cigs I bought last week...two more left. I'm not buying more. Again.

BUT, since the stent has been put in I JUST found out I can vape! Before the stent, I'd feel like my lungs were caving in on me when I'd hit the vape, but now not.

Being able to vape is going to make quitting easier. I'm thinking of giving myself three months to be nicotine free.

....and I lost six lbs. last week. I think that's probably from water weight going away, due to the clogged artery being opened. I'm going to ask the doc tomorrow if that's the likely reason.


I want to thank youse guyses from the bottom of my cranky, but healing heart for all the prayers and well wishes....

changing the diet is super hard, you'll tweak and refine it here and there. I cut back on my meat consumption too, I keep it at one meal a day, used to be all the meals and I have a meatless day. don't forget to add avocado's to your grocery list! oh those make great salads with sweet onions, cilantro a squeeze of lime and a dash of salt! sometimes I'll add an egg sunny side up with some cheese on top and bacon and make it a whole meal.

oh I just saw the vaping part! go visit the e-cig forum, it comes up on a google search you will get lots of info there and make friends. there might be some vape stores around you too.

if you are on bp meds that will make you lose water. water retention will make your bp go up.

all the guacamole ingredients but easier to eat without chips chips lol

So, no more cakes, pies, ding dongs, and Taco Bell?

I was thinking the ding dongs are the issue too.

Yes, I saw that this morning, that avocados are very effective at reducing cholesterol.

I loved avocados as a kid. It was nothing for me to eat them with a spoon right out of their skin with nothing added.

Then I got pregnant, and I lived on an avocado farm. You'd think I would've been in heaven, but lawdy, my love for avocados went flying outta the window due to hormonal pregnancy, and my very strong dislike of mushrooms turned into a love for mushrooms, fresh ones. I'd buy a big bag of fresh mushrooms, and just nom nom nom on them raw.

I can eat some homemade guacamole, sometimes, actually rarely....but after reading what I did this morning, when I go to Cruces on Thursday I'm going to get one avocado, and see if I can eat it and....harhar, keep it down while in the parking lot.

If I can do it without tossing my cookies, then I'm going to get five or six of them to bring home with me.

And I'm only supposed to eat up to a pound of white meat chicken a week. That is all. Only one pound a week. Uhg.

The meatloaf was a total blow it, but I was trying to talk Anonymous Girl into trying meatloaf for the first time, got a craving for it, and then had the heart attack. I forgot about my craving for meatloaf until Sunday night on BBQ Boy's 'What's for dinner?' thread when someone mentioned they were having meatloaf.

I was done for. I swear, I was salivating for meatloaf. SO, I really did have to make the meatloaf... I mean, I'm not into being totally cruel and unusual with myself, and dang, I think it was the very best meatloaf I've EVER made in my entire life.

That's the way to go out, with the best I've ever had!....

I have been very mostly a vegetarian before, and I can do it again. It's really not the food or sugar thing that's killing me, it's the cigs....but now I've found I can vape, so that just got at least a little easier.

I'm a Type A blood type. I'm supposed to eat mostly vegetarian according to the Eat Right 4 Your Type book. Heh, I'd probably not have been in as bad of shape as I was artery-wise had I of remained a vegetarian.

For sure, while eating mostly vegetarian I don't feel all weighed down like I do right now after eating even just a small portion of meatloaf, baked potato, and a whole load of steamed broccoli..... I have enough leftover meatloaf for a nice sandwich tomorrow.

BTW, a yummy tip for your baked potato: Mix salt, pepper, a tad bit of garlic powder, just a wee bit, and lots of chopped greens from scallions into your sour cream before putting the potato in the oven, so it can gel and the flavors bloom. It's a super delicious topping for a baked potato.

I did however use plain no fat yogurt instead of sour cream, and it was pretty good too. It was a little on the sour side, but good enough for me, for sure.

meatloaf is good af, I loved it with corn and smothered in bbq sauce. I haven't had any in a long time like that.

I'm so glad you can vape too! the transition will be so easy and you can get so many delicious flavors, sugar cookie vapes were always my favorite and my house smelled so good when I vaped bakery flavors.

I hope you can keep the avocado down too, that's so good for you and will help keep you feeling full. Collard greens are full of fiber, stuff like that will help keep you feeling satiated.

you can also make a cold cucumber soup with the yogurt, I use full fat because there is more sugar in low fat. I put a whole cucumber in for a big container, a whole bulb garlic minced, salt and pepper to taste, a couple splashes of vinegar and water to the consistency I like, My oldest daughter loves it and tells me it taste like ranch dressing lol.



oh and that blood type diet made me gain way too many pounds, I'm ab and it was so high carb lol my whole body blew up into a water balloon, it was horrible! I was pooping every 5 minutes so it was good for my digestion which I think the whole blood type diet is geared around, digestive issues.

DID OP EVA' GIT DEM 'D''S I SPOKE OV...?..

Chip....oh, Chip, Chip, Chip....


I call that a Joy Stick, lovey. Not a ding dong. Calling it a ding dong is like a slight, an insult, to call a Joy Stick!


......

Cucumbers?....just no. They hurt my stomach, it cramps. I LOVE the way they smell, though. So fresh...they just hurt my stomach too much.

I have two vape sticks, nice ones I paid good money for. And I already have a bottle of German Chocolate Beefcake juice. I'm all good to go that way.

Now, I only have one cigarette left. I'm on the big count down now.

Got damn, it's so ugly the addiction to cigarettes. Just nasty.

I do have my moments of raucous cuteness....

Heh, you should see my Toy Box....the Joy Sticks counterpart.

:lol1:....I REALLY am feeling a LOT better, youse guyses.

rubbing one out tends to do that.

Well, I haven't done THAT yet. Jeez, I'm 60 years old AND I've been through menopause.

Menopause kills the sex drive. Kills it

But I can still laugh at my cutester names for our...ahem, special parts.

And laugh my ass off at Chip!....

I dunno Cosmic, I kinda liked the Change...it gets -50 with wind chill here and I loved the hot flashes then.They were sort of a turn on, I thought.

Oh, I'm long past the hot flashes stage...thankfully. Waking up multiple times a night drenched in sweat was mind bendingly horrible.

Pfht, I'm happy my sex drive is dead. Like Chasity said on another thread, sex is a distraction.

Heh, it was a huge distraction for me...and now it's not. Yah me!

Hi there, CrankyFairy....
