I know Positive thinking is so important for us to getting better. I think if we see where we will be after all of this then it will help us get there faster.
I just wanted to share a little story that happened last night.
I made some rice, veggies, and meat for dinner. My husband made some homemade salsa to go along with his meal. I did without of course. But he was like wow this meat tastes so good with my homemade salsa. And instead of me getting sad because I can't eat it, beacuse I really wanted too. I said, Oh my gosh I can't believe that one day I will be able to eat salsa again!
Before when I was under the care of western medicine, I was following the IC diet that the urologist gave me (also on the ICN website). And I thought I was going to have to follow that list for the rest of my life! And it sucked, because I love food! And the diet was sooooo restricted. No tomatoes, no onions, no pineapples, no oranges........ a bunch of stuff.
I am just so happy to have found Dr. B, and now I know that one day, when I have reached that point in this process, I will be able to eat salsa again! Yay!!!!! And sooooo much other stuff that I thought I would never eat again. It just makes me so excited! I'm just thinking of all the things I will be able to cook and eat now and enjoy with everyone else. I have all these recipes just going through my head right now.
I just love food, and I love having people over and enjoying food with them.
And when I do get to the point where I feel better and I am healthy again, I will be very careful with sugar and alcohol. I am going to see if I can replace all sugar with agave syrup. Which I think will be fine because I have used it before. And when I do get better I will only let myself drink on special occasions (like my bday).
Do any of you have some positive thinking that you have been doing that you want to share? It could be about anything, not just food.
stay positive, something good will come!
When i started with Matia 2,5 years ago i was really bad, had no life, no job , no sex, nothing. i was not positive at the beggining but some other patients always told me i should. i started and that really changed me. I used to cry after painful sex and my husband will just hug me, now i have sex and after that i just smile. i used to cry when i saw people eating something i could not, now i eat something new and smile , lots of things that made me cry now make me smile. I really think that all of us should know that life will be better again and we will enjoy and smile at the smallest things. That is already happening to me!!! believe me i was really bad and still some way to go!!!
yay
Yay, thanks for posting. It's good to hear from patients that prove that we will get there. Even if the process will take everyone a different amount of time, the important thing is we will get there. And we will be in a better place then where we are today. It's only going to get better! =)
