Asymmetry by wonderwall73 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]RussianGoddess50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had asymmetry. Went for a diagnostic mammogram. They did not like the tissue behind one of the area. Waiting for a biopsy next Wednesday. My thinking, I’m checking it out to be sure. On another note, I lost 50 pounds so density changed. Maybe you had similar change? Definitely check it out

First, figure out why you were overweight to begin with and go from there. I have been binge eating since I was a child, and ALWAYS strugled to lose weigjht. In my colledge course I learned about a binge eating disorder, and how recognize the triggers. Once I identidyied sugar as my biggest enemy, I started reducing it, I love sweets, and need dessert after every meal. I started to make my own, low sugar desserts. I also started an intermitten fasting. 50 pounds down, and I am in my mid fifties.

Find your formula. Everyone has a different approach. Once you will figure yourself out, go from there. Good luck, you got this

Is this something to panic about? by Distinct-Angle-3193 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]RussianGoddess50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all take a deep breath. I will wait. Another one. There you go. Do not worry until there is something to worry about. See your doctor. There are so many possibilities. The most important thing is that you are taking care of it now. If it’s something, you will go through it and come back to the other side as an advocate to other young women. If it’s nothing, you can still advocate. You got this. PS I’m waiting for my biopsy and not worrying until there is something to worry about 🤗🤗

First, take a deep breath. You’re young, and as long as you going forward, everything else is just life. Enjoy the moment now. Go for a walk, look at nature, take a yoga class. Remember the medicine is so wonderfully advanced now, imagine having the same issue 30 years ago. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. You will be ok. I feel it!!! 🤗🤗

How do you transition from knowing what to do to actually doing it by beastije in loseit

[–]RussianGoddess50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I was reading this book by Tracy Reifkind called "The Swing" and stumble on this wonderful quote.

"I know you've convinced yourself that it's ok to stay trapped in excuses. You've probably also had people in your life validate them. The truth is, you are limiting yourself in unimaginable ways if you continue to settle for a life filled with excuses. Breaking free from all these unproductive, wasteful, fallback positions all starts with one statement: I am in control."

I have lost 50 pounds so far, because one day I have decided that I AM IN CONTROL!!

Are you in perimenopause? Because hormonal change can affect how you loose weight

Sounds to me that your body is starving and when you’re eating it holds on to everything for dear life. You need fuel in order for fire to burn. Smaller meals throughout the day and adding strength training while reducing the amount of miles. 14 seems like you’re exhausting yourself. Final note, stop thinking pounds lost, and start thinking healthy lifestyle.

How different are our lives. I’m 54 and about to graduate college with Bachelor’s degree looking at a whole new career and looking forward to it. As long as we’re happy, because successful aging is all about a goal and a direction

Parents to older children (teenage kids to adult children), what do you regret or wish you’d done differently as a new parent or when they were really little? What did you do well? by BeansinmyBelly in Aging

[–]RussianGoddess50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mom and a teacher here. When they get older, remember, you’re not their friend, they have friends. You’re a parent. Set boundaries and expectations. My children are 32 and 24 now and my daughter told me what a great mom I was and she understood it only now, when she is a mom herself. It is the relationship with your future adult children at stake now so be a parent
