Do we lie or make excuses to ourselves and to others? If we lie, how does this affect our wellbeing? Will it come back to us vigorously by making us sick, struggle to sleep, feel depressed, insecure, the need to appear important and likeable to others, be mean, have a crappy attitude, or gain sympathy.Continue reading “Is It Lying and/or Making Excuses?”

The Wolf
My sister has an amazing knack for telling a story, whether it is from her personal experience or from what she has read and learned. She has picked up the slack on my part in keeping up with our website. Her last blog has hit home with me, but in a different way. The purposeContinue reading “The Wolf”
Why Did We Do This?
My sister came to visit me in August. She drove here 12 hours with a pit stop to visit a family member on the way up. It was a very productive few days with plans in mind that will be shared at a later time. Because my sister is on the carnivore diet for theContinue reading “Why Did We Do This?”
When Someone Says It Is Ok
A doctor or our own brain says it is ok to eat certain foods because of another problem that could be related to a side effect from medicine, is that OK? Do we tell ourselves I am going to have a high carb food, but I am also eating a lean protein such as grassfedContinue reading “When Someone Says It Is Ok”
Am I An Addict?
These are questions I ask myself every day. Do I constantly think about food or my weight? Do I try one diet or food plan after another, with no lasting success? Do I eat when I am not hungry? Do I eat in secret? Do I hide food “just in case” to make sure IContinue reading “Am I An Addict?”
Pituitary Tumors
I think it is truly therapeutic to write. Knowing myself and often lacking the motivation to write on a regular basis, it defeats the purpose of healing and moving on. Ever since I started blogging, it has made me aware of why I need to change my lifestyle. We know there are people out thereContinue reading “Pituitary Tumors”
Hospitalization
As of today, it’s been about 4 years since my last “scare”. I am not sure where this came from or how I even got this next scare, other than my sister telling me all this time I have an autoimmune disease. After the Bell’s Palsy episodes, I did not feel stressed or out ofContinue reading “Hospitalization”
The Other Half of Sister Niches
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A VERY RAW AND FRUSTRATING POST. IT MAY COME ACROSS AND NEGATIVE, BUT IT IS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW. I am the oldest. I can be stubborn and difficult. But I need to tell my story because I am quite certain I am not the only one that feels this way.Continue reading “The Other Half of Sister Niches”
BELL’S PALSY NUMBER 2
My sister always tells me that when you write, write like you talk. I am still learning how to write. Yes, you learn all of this at school, but I never thought I wrote good papers because I am notorious for making things complicated. I am grateful that she “edits” my work and proud ofContinue reading “BELL’S PALSY NUMBER 2”
Bell’s Palsy
Looking back now, the stress and unhealthy lifestyle choices is a culprit that needs to be managed in everyday life. Thinking that everything would settle down with my health after my stay in the hospital with my swollen jaw, I still resorted to the fact that I am immune to everything. Having an auto-immune diseaseContinue reading “Bell’s Palsy”
