Holy cow!!! That's just plain crazy. Well I'm glad your back on the mend. Personallly, I really want to lose weight and I go back and forth on the effort so starting a Healthy Eating thread here wouldn't hurt. I'll be on just to read what you have to offer.

Nothing like problems with the ticker to get your attention in a big huge kingsized way. Last April 1st's hoopla got mine.

It's great to see that positive Lashbear attitude. You'll need it. Those small steps you're taking will add up to some big life changes.

And if I could add one thing to that list of valuable advice you've given: WATCH THE STRESS! Learn how to deal with it or it will deal with you in ways you won't want to accept.

Much love your way, Lashbear! Here's hoping the worst is behind you and that you continue along for many years happy and healthy.

Lashbear, thanks for posting and I am exceedingly pleased to be able to say, it's so nice to meet you!

I wish you well on your journey to continued health and may I also say your posting has helped inspire me to aspire to better health. Any thread of better eating I will gladly participate in!

Can't your Life-Alert bracelet (or Aussie equivalent) be programmed to post a message on message boards around the internet should you fall and not be able to get up? ;)

SOOOO happy to hear you've come through, hopefully stronger and wiser than ever.

Wishing you love, luck, and health.

lashbear~Thank you for posting what happened. Who'd a thunk it?

I am so very proud of you, you prove how smart you are, by realizing that this was a warning and that you are doing what the doctor said to do. A lot of people don't and then we lose them too soon.

Take care of yourself, don't let anyone sway you, and delicious food is just that, delicious food. It doesn't keep us alive or make us smarter. It is just a fun experience. As you lose weight you will find a lot more fun experiences that are also healthy and you won't miss the food so much.

That is what I've done, I'd rather take a hike than go sit down and eat a gigantic calorie meal. Really. What is tough is the delicious coffee drinks that have a lot of calories. :blush:

Lots of bear hugs,

I was thinking the same thing! Too weird to think about :O
Lash Twink?

Lashotter?

SM: Otter than most, I'd say :p
KB: Not Twinkie, I don't have enough cream filling.....

That's a given. ;)That can be arranged.... :evil:

Oooooo Behave!
