Janelleas's Journal, 05 July 2011

I am just entering the same weight as last time (rounded off) because I have not weighed and it is too late to weight now today. I have done horrible with diet and no exercise at all, so probably have gained weight.

HEADACHE:.. GOOD and bad news. Good news is that I do not have symptoms of brain tumor so it is unlikely that is the cause. Brain tumor has symptoms like, forgetting names of people you know well, forgetting and losing words and places, dizzy spells and things of that sort. I still have the headache constantly and it has progressed to a point that I am in tears some of the time. My doctor appt is on July 8th and he will hopefully have some answers for me. My regualr doctor set up an appointment with my ENT doctor. She thinks that he may be the one to diagnose what is going on in my head. If I need any kind of sinus surgery I am going for it asap and it will be a 6 week recovery time. I just want this headache to go away.

My night time eating is out of control again! I am sure I have gained weight because my clothes/even my pj's feel a little bit smaller. When i don't feel good I compensate with food,.specially ice cream and crackers (you know the GOOD kind of crackers).

I am going to try to get back into stopping the night time eating. We already know that is what the major problem is for some of us. I probably put as many calories into my body at night than I do all day long. Despite this headace I need to focus on not eating at night.

I hope you are all doing better and thank you for the kind words and helpful suggestions.
DENSIBLE.. I in fact do use saline solutions and a netty pot because of my allergies and things. Did you know it can actually help reduce allergy symptoms? thanks for the advice everyone
