obese and anemia

if your anemic you may not always know, the symptoms can be vague, for me it was super lightheadness even when I am just watching tv, a sweeping feeling of wishy washy comes over you all of a sudden. another symptom not recorded as such is cramps in your back when you exercise and some shortness of breath. if you cramp up in major muscle groups only when you exercise or do regular physical house work or yard work it might be anemia. when I asked the doctor about the back cramps which causes me to need to sit down and causes me to twist up from the tightness and pain, he had no clue. wow, what do they teach these doctors in college? they seem to not know alot of what I need them too and I have had ot figure things out on my own, if I were those doctors I would demand my money back from the colleges.

schools obviously aren't what they used to be, it used to be about education now I think it si mostly about brainwashing for profit. now that one doctor did mention I was anemic he actually told me how much iron to take and for how long, the other doctors did not, they did my blood work too and never mentioned my anemia. go figure. maybe they have to much on their plate maybe?

anyway I thought i would throw this out for you woman (and men who might have slow bleed without knowing it)especially if your have heavy menstral cycles like me. sucks don't it girls to have to go through this thing every month? why couldn't it be like every 6 months or something? if I may quote the movie my girl, "this is not fair nothing ever happens to boys" and"hey veta want to go swimming?" pushes poor little boy to the ground "go away don't come back for 5 to 7 days"

juicing veggies with a little fruit

who here juices too? I did my juicing this morning using my breville juicer I got about 3 years ago. nice little machine, still in good working order. no matter how you slice it no combination I came up with tastes good, sure some of them make it more tolerable but I can't say my juices of veggies with a littel fruit tastes good. mostly I say Yuck! when I drink it. it usually tastes like a combo of bad medicine, mixed with a little dirt with a dash of 'O My God!'

But like a good little girl I drink my veggies, it is easier, faster and I can get more down that way. now for the veggies I can eat I do eat whole, like all various peppers, onions, green beans, brocullie and cauli, carrots, green leafy lettuces and baby spinach.  tomatoes I will eat on a sandwich more than anything. so what is your poison?

path to metabolic sydrome

metabolic syndrome, MS for short, starts with poor quality diet as a kid especially. mine got started from eating food my mom brought home from where she works, a pie company. before this i could eat and was always slim without a worry. but then the weight problem started shortly thereafter.

first was the eating supper late now that mom worked full time, so by the time we ate supper I was totally starving, which naturally led me to snacking on what I could find in the fridge that didn't require cooking, I was too young to cook. and guess what I ate? cheap cereal with crappy milk, pie or ice cream, many times there was no milk as my piggy brother would always eat and drink everything out of the house. he would finish off a half of gallon of milk in an hour. same with any fruit we had. with 7 people in the house you can imagine how fruits and veggies and whole milk didn't last.

so naturally as my weight creeped up the first suggestion from teh doc is low caloire diet. my brother, the piggy eating everything in the house (especially the healthier stuff along with the junky stuff) leaving only the junkier foods for the most part, can eat the house down and stay slim. but me, I am supposed to go on a diet. talk about injustice.

of course the yo yoing thing over the past 39 years. you get the drift. the story is the same all over. I did all the diets and exercise programs you can imagine. but no, problem not solved, but then I had another problem, fatigue, hunger galore and fat rebound. NOt fair I would utter under my breath.

so here I am almost of menopause age and still obese. won't bore people with the details but basically I was following the wrong advice. I even did weight watchers. I used to be a runner, I even did low carb a couple of years ago. but nope still obese. but now, after all this time I now understand the real culprit to obesity and MS. more about this later. here is a cool link to get you started on what i know.
