 | thankyou chia, for the measurements advice, 8 oz one cup… |
 | good morning cruisers…i love that we are all on the cruise ship helping each other.I don’t post much but i do read it. |
| | Hi everyone…hey I have to keep off breads, rices, pastas, couscous, potatoes, etc…I have included them in the things I like for the meal planner, but my system is not coping with it, and I am in a lot of pain, and feeling sick from it all. I have bought some gluten free crackers, rice milk, oat milk, oat bran, and chia seeds to see if it helps, but do I need to have so much bread, pasta, rice, couscous, etc? I realise I need the carbs, but these are no good for me. I am thinking I need to up the amount of vegies I eat…like beans, carrots, snow peas or snap peas, capsicum, cucumber, zucchini, green leafy vegies, etc..and lose the breads etc. Anyone out there got an answer? |

| | Thank you everyone for such kind words and wonderful encouragement. I am so happy we have all found one another, joined by a common goal. It kind of me of the movie (you’ve got mail). Haha. Hey Bev. you just have you a great weekend with the hubby and the friends. We are all here for you when you need us. Take care everyone. I will try my best to get some rest tonight. I still need to eat my snack and clean up a bit before bed tonight. Talk to you all in my morning. Good night. 🙂 |
| | Goodmorning my sailing buddies…. |
 | annaleeramos: Of course your story hasn’t scared anyone away 🙂 We all have our stories. Lots of love and strength to use this program to your benefit with great results! I have had my problems too, and some of them many years ago, also made me not want to be attractive to boys when I was young and men when I got older. It just caused jealousy, even though I could be trusted. I guess it was the insecurity in the men that caused them to be jealous. I think that even though I am happily married to my second husband who is not jealous like my first husband, I still have that feeling underneath that I won’t be bothered if I don’t look very attractive. Wish I could get over it 🙂 I’d love to look like I used to 🙂 |
 | Good to see you Misfit. Anna, yet another brave lady, as dawnroise said before we all have our own stories and reasons for being here, I’m not scared one bit, just touched you have been brave enough to share your story, the more we know the more we understand each others personnal journey, and well done with 10 years on the wagon, if you can do that you really can do anything. I wouldn’t know where to start on my story, but I can relate to you suffering MST and PTSD, especially the wanting to make yourself unattractive part, but go girl, love the fact your turning it around now and I believe everyone here will be routing for you on this cruise. Oh and by the way, trying to eat yourself bigger to be unattractive didn’t work, you look stunning in your picture. I used Angel meditation to help me get back on track and feel good to be me again. How did today go for you then? |
| | Hello all. Just to make things a bit easier on you all, my name is Anna. I have not told my story and since we are all a pretty tight knit cruise ship, I don’t mind telling. My name is Anna Lee Ramos. I am 30 and a mother of 3. I am an ARMY veteran and my weight when I started was 298 lbs. I am now 288 lbs. This is Day 5 for me and really like it. My body has been through a lot of pain due to degenerative arthritis. I take a load of meds for it as well as all my other overweight problems. I have problems with my back and right side, due to accidents in and out of the military. Unknown amounts of physical therapy and an alcoholic, clean for going on ten years. I have MST (Military Sexual trauma) And PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from the MST. I have terrible night terrors from it and I went from using alcohol being my crutch to food. I guess for a long time, I wanted to make myself unattractive so that I wouldn’t get hurt again. The only problem with that is that my body does not appreciate it. LOL I guess I am at that point in life where I want control of my thoughts and emotions back. I will no longer allow my assailants in the past win any longer. This is my mind, my body, and my love for myself. So there is my story and I hope I didn’t scare any one. Love you all. Anna |
