2013 A NEW YEAR>>>>>>>>>>>> LITERALLY

I was diagnosed with Boop Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia almost three years now. I am tired of feeling tired, sick, and not being able to breathe. It's a new year and a new life for me. I am going to try to eat better and excercise, even if I just walk. It has to be better than nothing....... what I am doing now. I tried weight watchers before and it worked for me. I am going to join next week. I was going to join this week, but decided to have fun for a week first. I am going to go to the casino with my family and eat at a buffet and just enjoy life this week. Eat what I want and when I want. Have fun. Then start weight watchers next week and stick to eating a more healthier diet. A new way of eating, not really dieting. Seems like when I am on that diet, I watch what I eat alot better and not go fr the junk food. It's also interesting to listen to the hour long meeting, even though some think its boring. Secretly, I like it. This is going to be tough for me as I have a habit of eating what I want when I want and then paying for it later. I am tired of paying for it later. I want to eat healthier, exercise and eat sleep better too. Maybe if this happens then the rest of my life will just fall into place. That includes my breathing. I am not over weight by alot just want to lose enough weight to look good and feel better. I think my breathing will be better too. It's hard to cope with my BOOP. It seems like no one really understands what I go through. My husband helps me and tries to keep our bedroom cool around 63 degrees so it's not so hot that I can't breathe. I am also doing this new way of eating and excercise for him him. I am sure he is sick of me complaining that I can't breathe and I can't do things with him. It's so hard to go outside when it's too hot or too cold. I do things I enjoy like seeing my beloved NY Yankees play, but it takes me a couple of months to prepare to go to a game. Make sure I have enough inhalers for the weekend. May sure I have enough fans and batteries for them so I can have air moving to breathe. Make sure I have plenty of water to drink so I can keep m air ways clear. Make sure my clothing is cool enough and doesn't get me too warm. Figure out what I want to eat there so when I eat it it isnt too dry and I choke. Also I have to make sure I leave enough time to get to the game because I get tired of walking and hard to breathe also. I need to rest. So I do get to do things I like I just have to prepare them in plenty of time. But I think if I eat better and excercise more often that will help the breathing and that will help my life get into a happier mode. We will see in a month. This week I continue to enjoy life and do what I want when I want. Next week I eat better and walk. We shall see. Good luck to me and my new adventures !!

All the best for your new way of life, I'm sure you will achieve your goals as you seem to have a very positive attitude towards it. Take care, Richard.

what a great attitude - with that you will succeed in your plans. stretching your limits slowly rather than pushing through them is what my best yoga teacher taught me. x
