Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I think that is an excellent question. How do we gain
weight when everything we eat goes in and out so fast.
I have to admit that I've been dieting since I started
being active on this board and I've been following the
IBS food plan and doing the hypnosis tapes and exercising
for the first time in 30 years. I have lost 19 lbs.
but now I've stopped losing and am focusing on building
up what I do have. When I was young I weighed a consistant
98lbs. 5 months ago I weighed 54lbs. Now I weigh 35lbs.
I don't expect to ever weigh 98lbs again in fact I wouldn't
want to. I would like to feel better and look like the
weight I do have is in better shape. As you age it just
gets so much harder. We take it for granted when we
are young. We buy a dress a size too small and don't eat
much for a week and we are in the dress and ready to
party. Enjoy that yungins because after 50 it's not
going to happen again. However, my mom is 90
and she weighs 95lbs. So in your dotage you do
start to lose weight again but I don't think you
really care. My mom worries alot about being to
thin and not being able to eat. We just are
so hard to please aren't we? It's all about
accepting who we are which for me has been
something I've been working on for the last
6 months. I know I'll be much happier when
I accept myself for who I am and not the super
model I thought I wanted to be. It's just taking
me time but I'm getting there.
You all,the IBS food plan,and Michaels tapes are helping me a lot.
