Panic and Anxiety Issues

Week 4 Summary

November 9, 2009 by hollie Goals Update

This is the end of my first month of moderation! I updated the progress page to reflect this week’s achievement of staying pretty nearly in the exact same place. And it’s okay! It doesn’t look like anything is happening, and yet I just know it is. I’m not worried at all about the lack of [...]

Post-flu: food is confusing

July 30, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

My body is a bit of a mess lately. Ever since that flu hit a week ago, I’ve been feeling awful. I’m exhausted all the time. I keep trying to do a few minutes of exercise, to get that effect where doing a little exercise gives you energy, but I can barely keep going longer [...]

Living dairy-free is frustrating sometimes

July 23, 2009 by hollie Panic and Anxiety Issues

While I realize that there are worse things in the world than not being able to eat dairy products, like say elephantitis, or a third (or fourth) nipple, or having a few dozen nails shot though your head, it is sincerely frustrating to have to turn down every treat that comes your way because someone, [...]

The Twinkie Defense: “But I didn’t know it had DAIRY!”

July 11, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Last night certain monthly womanly things happened (subtlety, I has it), and I was craving something bad for me. Now, normally, I’d want Greg to run up to the corner store and get me a Skor bar, but for some magical reason, the mere mention of anything with milk (like milk chocolate) has me cringing. [...]

Elimination Diet Update!

July 6, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

It’s been barely two weeks (15 days!), and while I’ve screwed up and added things back in too early and accidentally eaten things I didn’t mean to, I feel like I’ve already learned so much!
The biggest thing I’ve learned so far is that I’m not anxious all the time. I was beginning to think that [...]

Tossing out the scale; keeping my bike

July 2, 2009 by hollie Exercise and Fitness

This is me this morning after my half hour on the stationary bike. I’m exhausted. I’m so out of shape it’s surprising I can get up the stairs to bed.
Mmmmm, bed. The question at this point isn’t WILL I take a nap, it’s WHERE WILL I? The kids are in daycare today, which means I [...]

In fact I have gone off the diet in the last few days, but it’s actually been okay. I [...]

Elimination Diet | Day 4 | I’m kicking butt!

June 25, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Ahhhhh, Day 4, lovely Day 4. Look at me smile! That’s a real smile! I’m feeling much happier today! I woke up with some anxiety symptoms, but I took a dose of my anxiety medication before I even got up, and within a short while I was feeling much better. I’m definitely convinced at this [...]

Beans. Bah.

June 24, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

After I wrote my last post, I began considering the idea that I might want to add back in one major group, just so that I’d have something else to eat. Right now it’s pretty lean times over here, made much worse by the fact that I just don’t like a lot of vegetables.
So I [...]

Why am I eliminating everything?

June 24, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Megan asked these questions in a comment, and they went along with some questions that one of my Megs asked, and I figure I ought to answer it in a post in case a few people are wondering.
Megan’s questions are in bold:
I have some technical questions:
1. Why eliminate everything at once? Why not eliminate one [...]
