Cheater, Cheater - Pumpkin Eater
Posted October 9th, 2009 at 08:05 AM by shaunawa
I made homemade chocolate chip pumpkin bread last night... And I ate some... I ate two slices as a matter of fact.
I know why my scale is not moving.. it is because I have been sneaking in sugar. Yes i deserve to be whipped
I kept telling my self that a little here and a little there would not kill me. I mean who cares if the scale is not moving...my pant sizes are still getting smaller.
Well last night my body rebelled.. and my feet swelled up something awful. You should have seen my ankles. There where huge... like a oompaloompa.
I dont think the tea is working anyway so I might just listen to Bella and switch to something else... I really dont want my body to get any worse over drinking that stuff. Granted it is only day two... but it really hasn't improved anything either.
There is only one plus thing for me this week... or at least I think it is. I read some thing in a magazine about making your mascara go further... when it seems like it is all gone, but couldn't be cuz you just bought it - stick it into a hot glass of water. In my case, my tea cup or something... and whala... it is all creamy and smooth and goes on great! I know weird huh.

I went to the doctor for the swelling and that is what they said...that it was edema. They checked my blood and all that jazz but found nothing. My sister is still concerned because heart attacks run rampid on my fathers side of the family. However the doc listened to me and couldn't tell that anything was wrong. She also checked my thyroid but nothing there either. She put me on water pills - two a day in fact...but it never really helped at all.
One day while looking for some support stockings... is when I came on the carbs causing edema post. I started back on my low carb diet and in three days my feet were back to normal...just like that. But as I said I have been sneaking things in here and there. But I guess my feet will be my tattle tale from now on.
I will give the dandelion a try and see if it helps. Thanks Bella...have a great weekend. (think steak...mmmm)Posted October 9th, 2009 at 10:15 AM by shaunawa

My pleasure sweety!
So any teas with dandelion, licorice, anise, senna, etc, should help a bit.
Mmmmmmm, steak!
For immediate relief you may want to try a nice foot bath with peppermint in it, like an Epsom salt and peppermint combo.
Really happy I have a whole room filled with herbs, just wish I could blink and have them at your doorstep

you are right...what is important is your clothes are loose! yeah!
MMMMM, STEAK!!! I want some. Had chicken instead.
The pumpkin bread sounds yummie...warm right out of the oven with butter on it. My mouth is watering. We need to figure out how we can make it Adkins Friendly!!Posted October 9th, 2009 at 08:49 PM by my31168 -
try drinking more water. allot more.
from everything I've read, the water pills remove excess fluids in the body. The thing that most people don't realize, it that the body often stores excess fluids when I't isn't getting enough of them. Also, excessive salt in the diet can cause it. Oddly enough, water pills are technically designed to force the body to expel that salt. The water shed is just a side effect.
To get to the point, drink more water. Join a water challenge. cutting back on the salt wouldn't hurt either.
The trick I use is just replacing regular salt in the shaker with Morton's Lite salt. Half the sodium of regular salt, all the taste.
I'll shut up now before I start pissing people off.
