Once I moved to MN I was put on Metformin. And I've been on it ever since. that was in 2001. When I was slim and had muscles - once there I gained weight and was 300 lbs. That went away slowly but steadily. Plus I stated work and that really tok it off. I was also going dealing with the loss of everything. Awful time.

I never wore a girdle. Even when fat.

I'm still needing weight but slowly and surly I will gain some.

For breakfast I am eating BLTs 3 times a week - pancakes twice and then what ever the other two.

Lunch can be a mixed salad 2 lettuces, lots of veggies, Sesame seeds, popy seeds, cheeses, and anything I can think of. Sandwiches of manykids, Ramen soup and leftovers. & pizza.

Dinner can be pizza, or meat and veggies, Spaghetti, pasta anything in the fridge. Fish, really I just try for balance.

Snacks maybe a little bit of popcorn tad of salt, I even have a little candy, but I buy fresh pineapple, and other things - but not alot. I discovered today that my BP may be up if I am not wearing a patch.

Oh I just recived 12 patches from the Humana catalog of free stuff they are at 4% instead of 5% which the hospital ordered. I think 4% will work to relieve any mild pain.

So things are moving right along. IF Boy and I can get the taxes started that will be a good thing. Second has to be my medical paperwork.

Oh I received my neuro paperwork authorization - It was date november 1st. I didn't receive themuntill days after my birthday (11th)

Right when I was in the middle of my neck situation, very frustrating.

The state paperwork wont be done and the med stuff, until Boy buys me a printer. Something that won't break or runout of ink right away. Very frustrating.

OK last outing for Charlie. Am off to walk. I don't get the mail until tomorrow am.

It's still cool but not as cold. a bit of a wind but I can live with it.

Later Gator
