27 July 2017

I started the Brain Warrior Way on Tuesday July 25. My husband is getting further and further away mentally, seems to be dropping into a abyss that he doesn't know how to get out of, in spite of the advice from the psychologist that he's seeing. I have always known that he was eating too much junk food, and that it wasn't good for him. Having this crap in the house is one of the reasons that I cannot stick to a diet because I break down and start eating some of the crap stuff.

I've learned how the crap stuff is addictive. Much like cocaine or heroin. The stuff is MADE to make you want it more. This is what every Paleo diet tells you, but I never realized that I'm poisoning my brain, that one day, I may very well become my husband, and just float into a lonely hole in the middle of nowhere and not know what's going on.

What I need to do is to stop hurting my brain. I need to help it do the job it is supposed to do -- fix the body. Is it possible it will bring my husband back from his dementia-like state? He loves the cooking I'm doing now -- and he's co-operating -- kind of. I have to put all the junk food in the motorhome until he's actually ready to let me chuck it all into the garbage. I don't think I will be venturing out to the motorhome, but I sure hope he will let me throw all that stuff out or give it away to somebody who wants it.

I've always read labels, but now that I'm aware of what each of those unpronounceable words really are.... I'm sick to my stomach. I had no idea that sodium benzoate can make benzene in my body -- the cause of leukemia. It's in just about everything, just like that dreaded high fructose corn syrup.

It's expensive, but I'm worth it. I'm saving my vacation money on getting my brain healthy!

Now, two days later, I find I lost 3 pounds. I didn't expect that! We eat good and we are never hungry. We both do have headaches, could it be some kind of toxic-drain? This will be an interesting lifestyle!

Not been dieting at all. Up 5 lbs from last weigh-in and not happy about it. I have been feeling really depressed. Hubby's dementia is escalating and his psychiatrist is not helping him at all, as far as I can see.


I've been leaving the house more, just to hang on to my sanity. I started doing volunteer work with the SPCA 4 hrs a week, and now I am chairing a local caregiver's support group.

But I can't keep my hand out of the cookie jar...

A new project came up where I have been asked to photograph three people who are working hard to lose weight -- they want a visual record of their journeys. Hopefully these 3 ladies can entice me to do something about my own weight problem.

Now I'm taking an anger management course, which seems to keep me calm and help swallow my frustration. I even cracked a joke at hubby about his forgetfulness.

To help him keep his "independence", he's been in charge of our meals, but the last three meals were too horrendous to eat. I have a super sense of smell and just had to garbage these meals. I asked him if he was trying to poison us. And he said "maybe..."
