redwinelover's Journal, 01 March 2011

Feeling more upbeat, even though yesterday.... hmmm... I have NO idea what THAT was about. I felt like I was starving from the moment I awoke. Unfortunately, I fed the hunger all day until I was no longer hungry. At what cost? I honestly have no idea. Pretty good choices of food for the most part, but wow... I still can't believe how it felt like my stomach was just eating itself until I finally reached that point of satiation.

I had another dermatologist appointment today and it was at 9:00am, but with traffic I knew I'd have to leave well before 8:00. It was in Scottsdale, so quite a drive even without traffic. Point being, I was up, showered and hair done quite early for me. By the time I got home, it was probaly after 10:30 and I just didn't want to work out and get all sweaty. lol... Took care of a few things and then did my alternate "exercise" - shopping. Really just to get me out of the house and away from food, just in case there was a repeat of yesterday! Hasn't been so far, thank God.

Magic thrift store today... not so magic. :( Seldom disappoints. I did pick up a Biederlack cuddle wrap for $4, so not all a big loss. A necklace. Not much.. but I didn't spend the day eating, so that's a big plus.

I saw my dermatologist for reasons of vanity (lol) and really ended up saving my husband's life. WHICH I'm not gonna let him forget! lol... I've been after him for probably two years now to get a couple of his moles checked. When he took me in for a procedure, he FINALLY made an appointment. When he came to pick me up, I told him to show the nurse his mole that was most worrisome and she immediately got the doctor. The doctor took a biopsy, saying she was pretty sure it's melanoma. It is. Bad news, but the good news is she is sure it's Stage 0, meaning 99% cure rate. Thank God!!

That's my life... for now.

Wow, you did save your hubby's life pretty much. Yes, there are some days where i woke up starving. I don't know, like my metabolism just went into high gear overnight. That feeling is not a good feeling. I should research and see what's that all about. Glad you are having a better day.

Oh, D, I am so glad that the biopsy came back at stage 0....I have been praying, as has hubby. Thank God! As for the eating, I have days like that also, not sure what it is all about, but it drives me nuts! And then the next day, I think what the heck...thank goodness it doesn't happen often. Glad that you were able to get out and get some shopping done, even though you only found a few things. Hope you are having a marvelous day today! Love ya, D! Big hugs! <3<3<3<3<3

I am really glad you got him in there! I hate days where I feel like I could literally eat anything that is not nailed down, I have no idea where they come from BUT they are terrible. Hope you have an excellent day!

Wow. That is just a wow story. It's amazing how things work out like that. Will say an extra prayer that it all turns out that way. Take care.

RWL, wow, that was great you were able to get your husband checked out and he will be taken care of...wow!..Since I read in the WallStreet Journal so it must be true lol that we humans are hungry all of the time it has calmed me down some. Now I just think, "oh I'm hungry all the time so eat something to quiet the hunger beast for awhile. TOWANDA!!!!

Hi Youngbug! Yes, I can't even express how relieved I am. I mean, had I not been feeling so vain lately? I swear I've been on his ass for two years about this. Who knows when it may have spread deeper? My dermatologist said he was extremely fortunate in that when it got bigger, it got wider, rather than deeper. It'd have been a different stage with much more risk. Hooray for vanity! lol... Okay, next trip to the magic thrift store... looking for bootylicious size 10 jeans. Now tell me - skinny jeans or boot cut? A bit of stretch or are you a pure cotton girl? Details, woman. Can't be a personal shopper without massive details. Reply quickly! I'm going to get my workout done this morning, shower and get out of here for the day. MUST get away from food, get busy, get off my ass... you get the drift, sergeant. Thanks... with love, of course!

Hi enu... I've been curious - have you found out why that is? Why some days we wake up feeling like we're starving? And stay that way? Funny thing is, I Google EVERYTHING. It seems. Never thought to Google THAT one! lol... A couple of years ago I saw a t-shirt I was sure someone was gonna get me. It read, Just 'f-ing Google it! SO me.

Klannoye... I haven't figured out yet what would happen if we lived near one another. We'd either have a blast together, or end up in jail together! hahahaha... Oh Lord, so that happens with you, too? Went to the trouble of hair and makeup so no way you wanna sweat it all off and have bad hair for the rest of the day! Okay, so glad to see you back at the lunchroom table. Think I'll go visit your locker today... see if you've kept up with it! Love ya, girl!

Lol, sorry RWL I just got back from doc. I'm too curvy for skinny jeans. Boot cut works. ;) I do a bit of stretch or cotton. I like the feel of them both...depending on the shirt choice of the day cause of buddah belly lol.

Hi ctlss! Thank you AND your hubby SO much for the prayers! It has been such a relief, although he still needs another biopsy and then some surgery... I'll journal about that. But the much needed prayers are very much appreciated! Yes, the eating thing? Unfortunately I've strung together a few days of such nonsense. I don't know what's up with me, I'm really beginning to lose patience with myself! Trying to talk nicely to myself, but that doesn't seem to help. It's not even as if I'm eating unaware. All day yesterday it was the same thing. I'd eat something, 20 min. later I'm feeling that wasn't enough. Eat something else... same thing. Finally I'm looking for food and even saying aloud - I know I don't need this.. I'm NOT actually hungry anymore... this is an old habit that didn't serve me well... why am I doing this? And telling myself, it doesn't matter if I've already "blown it" for the day.. what matters is putting a stop to it now. (trying to rid myself of that silly rational - well, I've already blown it, might as well make the day a total wash). SO very frustrating.

Hi Pixie! Yeah, what is WITH that urge to just eat and eat and eat?! Makes me nuts! I guess it helps a little knowing others deal with this, too. It's not as if I'd been really strict or denying myself a number of things. I don't know, drives me crazy, though!

Hi kmartin! Yeah, it is amazing how things seem to work out for a reason like this! (amen for that!) I'll probably be journaling his progress as we find out things. As it is, he has another biopsy and full body check on the 7th or 8th, and Mohs surgery at a skin cancer specialist's a month later. The two moles my doctor removed were only the ones she saw that looked very suspicious without a real exam and only his shirt off. Wonder what will happen when she really looks him over. Keep the prayers coming!

Hi Lisa, yes, so glad he finally was seen! I'll try to keep it in mind that we are "usually" hungry! I hate those days, though. Although I've never been one of those who claim, I forgot to eat today! (throw up a little in my mouth), I hate the days when it's just as if there isn't enough food to fill the void. Has to be something else going on besides true hunger. At least once that aching pit has something to gnaw on other than itself! lol...
