no title necessary!
Bonnie, I'm so envious of your 15 mos till retirement! That more than anything is something I am so eager about. And I have way too long to go yet, I'm just a babe at 51, but I do plan to retire as early as finances will allow. I really hate working in the corporate world, and it's the only thing I have been trained to do.
Saracidal, you are correct, you ARE too young for all that you are going thru, but one thing I have learned, it doesn't matter what age, when something decides to happen that is part of your nature, for whatever reason, we gotta go with the flow. I know that's easier said than done , believe me, but to fight only makes it worse.
So I guess I'm saying that you need to take good care of yourself, do all the right things but without going to crazy extremes and knowing all the while that you are taking care of yourself. And that's the best you can do, not beat yourself up over it.
The same could be said for me, Good advise, I need to take it myself.
I actually took a "mental health" day from work, calling in sick because my mind and soul did really need a rest from the stress.
As far as lowcarb this time around, my experience tells me that the body resists EVERYTHING when we do it again, even low fat, etc...our metabolism is always striving to lower itself in order to keep us alive, that's what it is programmed for, so as we age, our bodies become actually more and more "efficient", which is a problem for some of us who have this tendency to be fat.
Brite Blessings to all and enjoy the fall!
