Here we go again

There comes a time when the diet no longer works
We then – at a given moment – if we are aware – look at ourselves and notice we are not holding onto any kind of diet.
We are not paying any attention at all to what we eat.
We also become annoyingly aware that we have not taken any real exercise for quite some time
and we notice we cannot quite pin down when and how this happened.

This happens to all of us – if we still care about ourselves we immediately pick up on it and start taking care of this again. It always starts with awareness and goes into action – we must act!
Things must change – the panic sets in – when you ask yourself – ‘what have I been eating’ and the answer is ‘I don’t really know’

I’ve been stuffing my face with all kinds of things, some of which I cannot really call ‘food’ I have been swallowing it in vast quantities and in continual snacks – which I cannot call ‘meals’ – and in such amounts the idea of ‘portions’ has escaped to another planet. The shame of it! How could I treat myself this way? What happened to my great resolve, my expert planning my brilliant research? I flounder around wondering what to do to gain control – again, to become aware – again. How do I take stock and manage my health better, like I used to – or like I think I used to.

We all hit this wall, and we never know what happened.
The thing is – we need these moments to bring us up short and help us align with our ‘preferred lifestyle’
The one containing healthy food and healthy exercise – as being unhealthy is not a price we want to pay.

Is it?

 

 

Emergency gallstones

So I got out of hospital yesterday with my gallbladder still in me

What a treat

To get to keep all your body parts

I am pleased I managed to avoid surgery, they are all so very keen to chop you up and take bits out.

Like it’s some kind of fashion.

The problem is not the gallbladder, the problem is the gallstones, it’s the gallstones that need to go so why not leave the gallbladder which has a job to do and just remove the gallstones? That strikes me as far more logical. The surgical technique would be practically the same.

Unfortunately any and all cures for gallstones or ways of removing gallstones or in fact any other kind of treatment for gallstones except surgery is not supported in mainstream medicine, so you’re fucked before you start! You have to drop conventional medicine and go your own route if you want to keep all your insides right where they are. Which is the route I have decided to take.

Very careful menu planning, loose weight slowly and gently, drink lots of water, lots more exercise, and meditation

Specially the meditation

As, together with the searing stabbing pains from gallstones I also am extremely bad tempered lately, I mean white hot rage, temper tantrums and anger attacks for no reason.

I’ve got a gall!

It’s even in the language, it’s become part of the language. Gall!

Yes the anger, the rage, the temper are all part of gallstones and gallbladder and liver problems.

Apparently my digestive system rules.

In my research the only place I have found references to the emotional aspect of this is in chinese medicine, and partially in ayurvedic medicine nothing in western medical literature, though I’m sure if I dug a bit deeper I might find some reference to it.

So we will see what happens now.
I have an appointment with my GP to go and I have made an appointment with an ayurvedic GP as well. (Yes I wish it was Deepak Chopra as well – but he doesn’t practice here)

Of course I will be trying every fad and find and alternative AS WELL as keeping an eye on the mainstream, after all, the goal is to survive.

So now onto a good meditation hour and………..

Wish me luck – I need it.
