After a month of Tai Chi I began to enjoy my classes. Sometimes I felt like I was old and not capable of bending and remembering the next move, but I stuck with it. Even when it felt like dancing in a blender. Discussions with my therapist were always coming back to my weight and how uncomfortable I felt at 70 lbs. overweight. She told me on 2 different occasions to stop trying and thinking about it. What a relief! Then she told me when I was ready it would all fall into place. I didn't swallow that hook line and sinker. Nope! I am in my 60's and this has been an ongoing battle. IF that was true WHY would it take so long for me to be ready and when would ready happen?
I have GURD, acid reflux. My esophagus is scared and periodically I have a procedure to check my stomach. I had been having some problems with a feeling of hunger all the time, but when I ate I got a pain like reflux. After the EGD the Doctor told me that at some time recently I had an ulcer. It was healed but the scar tissue had closed down the outlet from the stomach. I now had to eat small meals and more of them. She suggested South Beach Diet because it recommends several small meals. Was I going to be forced into a new eating plan? Was I ready? It was easy to eat smaller meals. The pain would stop me. It was easier to eat more often, who wouldn't want too. That was easy. I am doing what I need to why not eliminate all white stuff? Potatoes, breads, rice and pasta were off my radar. I started to loose, slowly, real slowly but I was not on a diet.
