It's A New Day

0 Recommendations

Can't believe summer just passed by! Not looking forward to the cold days ahead. Been wearing my gloves since August with funny stares already. It's important to take care of our bodies, no matter the stares we get. I will not suffer any longer with cold,
frozen fingers and toes even when it's 70 out. The diet has been very helpful with the acid reflux. Just say no to anything fried, that works. Also, the rich foods high in fat have to turn the head and say no thanks too. At night when I crawl into bed I'm so happy I was able to say no to these things and not have a sick night coughing and spitting up acid from my tummy. I still love sugar, my weakest point. I can have bit of honey at my hearts content. Somedays when nothing sounds good a few pieces of candy will soothe the mind and the nagging discomfort of hunger. It's funny how you reconize the symptoms of your body and it's telling you not to eat! If you listen to it and don't eat you are saved from becoming ill by eating something you shouldn't!
Keep strong my fellow Inspire members! Keep being encouraged by others and how they deal with these terrible diseases! It's one day at a time. To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under Heaven.
