MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis." (Hazeldee)

Well, today I put extra thought and patience into my gorcery list. I bought a special cookbook with healthy recipies, that aren't too time consuming and don't have strange, hard to find ingredients (a pitfall in the past).

I also got a notebook to journal in. I'd like to keep better track of what I'm eating. I will also mark down when I exercise and for how long.

Does anyone have any other ideas/suggestions that have helped them?

Thanks!

Well, my journal was a big help. I started writing everything I eat and when, how many calories, when I exercise, etc.

My big problem time is from when I get home until dinner is ready. I seem to want to eat everything in sight!!!! And, if I'm in the kitchen fixing dinner . . .

So, today I fixed dinner in the slow cooker - it was ready 1/2 hour after i got home. I spent that time doing yoga nidra, away from the kitchen Smile

I stared a food tracking journal and i have to say that I didn't realize just how much I was eating! All those little between meal snacks really add up over a days time. This is going to be a great motivational tool for me. Thanks for the great idea!
The first thing I have to do is start to love and appreciate myself by recognizing that i'm really a strong and talented person with a lot to give.

Yeah, I used that for a few months or so one time. It is definitely an eye opener!
