Friday

It's Friday again. The weeks seem to go so fast. That's good.....I think.

I have three sleeping cats. As soon as I opened the bedroom door this morning, they were on the go. Weaving themselves through my legs and, not so gently, reminding me that it's breakfast time. The Maine Coon (Gryphen) is tall enough when he stands on his hind feet to put his paws on the top of the counter. He routinely rubs his face on the bottom of my butt. The little kitten (Gandolph) is so excited that he finds himself running in circles on the linoleum floor at a break neck speed. And, of course, there is Bluebell (Russian Blue) peeking her little nose around the corner. She has the boys trained to do all the work.

I put down a can of food for them to share. All in individual dishes, but they seem to like to try each others food. They get all happy for about an hour, chasing each other around. Or chasing anything that moves....then it's nap time. The kitten Gandolph crashes in the funniest places. Pretty much wherever he is at the time.

Oh.... the sound of little paws running down the hall.

One day at a time

I am pleased that I managed to go without dairy for a whole day yesterday! As I sip my sacred morning coffee with Silk instead of half and half cream, I am pertty sure that I can do it agian today.

I went to Scott's work yesterday and took some shots at him in the dunktank and one of his work buddies took this pic of me. I never really thought that I looked that bad till I saw it yesterday. So, that photo was taken of me on the first day that I started eating no dairy.

I do beleive that "sizeism" exsists in our world. That is the final taboo. I have been waiting for big to be in fashion. I guess that's never going to happen!

First Day with no Dairy

this is getting rediculous.....I'm 280 lbs!!

My ankles hurt sometimes. My knees are starting to hurt. I have trouble with stairs, and avoid them whenever possible. I don't feel sexy or pretty. My husband is a sweetheart and I love him dearly, but I have a very low sex drive. There are only two stores in town that I can shop in for my size. I have a 42 C/D bra. Size 26 pants or 3X. Also 3X tops. I am limited in what I can wear.
Scott (hubby) and I had a long talk last night and he thinks that me going off dairy is a red herring. Whatever that means? He tried vigorously to talk me out of it. I am not going to reconsider.


Dr. Rayne has informed me that i have a pituitary dominant body type. so I'm going off dairy b/c my body does not respond well to it.

I went straight out to the store and bought a bunch of replacements. Soy sour creme, soy yogurt, almond milk, soy buttery spread, soy ice cream sandwiches.

Here is the break down:

Ryza rice milk: not good at all!! X100.....i do not like the flavour, or the consistency and I gave it to friends.

Cuties Ice cream sandwiches: Definitely will buy again Yummo! So that is a good addition to my diet

So Nice soy beverage: Yes I will buy again. No after taste or bad mouth feel

Almond Milk: Definitely I like the taste and consistency

Soy yogurt: Not too bad

Buttery spread: Tastes like butter and will do for a substitute

All in all not too bad. My body has not seemed to mind no dairy...so far so good
