Once again I have good news. I love losing weight!  I was stuck at 14 kilos, for about 4 weeks, & read a piece posted by a fellow fructophile on Sweet Poison forum, about Leptin, and the Leptin Re-set regime. Basically it's 30 - 50 g of protein for brekky, cooked in either butter or coconut oil. Lunch is the same but with veg. Dinner was much the same. Ie High protein, no carbs!!  But as it's only for 6 - 8 weeks, well, I thought it was worth it. Plus, No exercise.....loved the thought of that, too.  
I started on a Thursday, sort of, got weighed on Sunday and had lost 2 kilos. Another weigh in on Tuesday confirmed I'd lost another kilo. Yahoo!!  I was so happy. But that old enemy, money bit me on the bum & said, you're too happy, no more money for you. EEEK!!!
I had been having a 4-5 egg omelette with ham or bacon bits, Avocado sliced, and any left over meat from the day before, chicken breast usually. I had in the fridge a couple of cooked chicken breasts, ready for lunch, or dinner. Which I was having with an assortment of veg, broccoli, cauli, beans carrots, peas & corn, Zuchini & cabbage.  3/4 of my plate was steamed veg. I saved some of the butter I cooked the chicken breast in & used that as a little 'sauce' to pour over the veg. 5 hours between meals was no problem for me. Each meal kept me full, the only thing I missed was the cheese I normally put in my omelettes. (Shredded, a small handful).  And the snack nuts after dinner, plus the piece of cheese before bedtime with a cuppa hot milk & cocoa.
But for the money aspect, I am the sort of person who can exist on such a regime for weeks, eating much the same food. It doesn't bother me much.
Pay-day is Wednesday & my partner Kev has found a place where he got organic chicken breasts for $7.99 per kilo, so I will be sending him to buy more!!  Then back on the regime, hopefully this time I'll manage the budget better.
I have also found some beautiful Spiritual Music, and some wonderful affirmations to have some good meditations with, by calling on the Angels who imparted their Words of Wisdom for us. I'm feeling heaps more confident and happy, having at last found a Doctor I can actually talk to. Imagine, a Doctor that will actually listen & try to help you, not just give you a script & send you on your way. A lot of my small medical problems are receding, thus giving me a better quality of life than I have had in a long, long time.As I have been searching for this Doctor for about 2 years, I am very happy with the outcome so far.
The reason I didn't post in August, was I had 2 front teeth snap off, causing me heaps of confidence problems, as I am a very 'smiley' person, and always had lovely teeth, and a great smile. Now the Doc is trying to help me with that also, so I was slightly depressed, and now I'm not. Am sleeping better than I have for a long time, too, which always helps.
I urge you who read this & have stress problems to learn to meditate. There are heaps of free meditations on the Internet. freemeditations.com has a full programme you can learn on-line if you are a newbie. Meditation has been such a Godsend to me, in my quest for Spiritual growth.
If you are interested in advancing yourself Spiritually, spiritual.com is a good place to start, as a newbie. Heaps of good articles there on a myriad of topics.
Well, that's enough for this month, even if it's a bit late. I hope someone out there is reading this.
I would really like to hear from you if you are interested in advancing spiritually, as we may be able to help one another.
Still haven't learned how to post some photos yet. Will try today!!
Well, Bye for now.
