herself Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Please dont mistake Im advocating a diet or anything, but I watched the documentary 'Fat, sick, and nearly dead' and it got me WAY interested in juicing. So I bought a juicer & started substituting a few meals. I'll tell ya, you do feel very hungry & feel some amazing things happening to your body that you begin to pay attention to. You have new energy or you have none, or a headache, or you feel really balanced & maybe lose a few lbs. The main point is, my A ended in Nov. and I've been going through the stages of greif and suffering greatly in self esteem. This helped me so much to change my focus. Its a 'healthy' new obsession, and Im not recommending or advocating, its just SO exciting to find an unexpected source of happiness or distraction. Sometimes its the little things, and I will take anything!!! 2
gettingstronger Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 As a BS I agree with this also-as I always say do something, anything to change your focus-after dday, I discovered yoga and it changed my life- it gave me focus and distraction-I set small goals and celebrated little victories about me, just me-! No matter where you are in the triangle-its a painful, difficult journey and everyone involved is much better off if everyone else in the triangle also takes care of them- Good luck and happy juicing- PS- I am 13 months post dday and I still practice yoga 3-4x week; its a part of my life and something I do just for me- stick with your new found "hobby" and it will pay off in spades!

Thats so awesome I also adapted an intense gym routine. I go to extremes to move forward and its nice to hear from a perspective on the other side of the triangle too. So easy for each of us to self destruct if we dont look for a new path. Namaste 1
Devastated1969 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I'm very newly in no contact and finding it very hard but am going to the gym tonight after doing no exercise for 20 years in the hope it will help me to focus on something new.. Fingers crossed it helps a little on the road to recovery 1

nais Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Kundalini Yoga has been helpful for me- I am still with my MM, but W/we recently had an upside down situation that resolved. I realized I needed a different focus to remain healthy in this situation. The breath exercises along with the different poses assist in clearing my mind and allowing me to feel the peace I need to go about my day to day. Juicing is for the body but Yoga may help assist in nurturing your mind and soul 1
WakingUp Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I love juicing and yoga! After our recent dramas, I took myself off to a yoga retreat for a week to try and recover. It was either that or a hospital, it was really bad. A week of yoga, meditation and mindfulness (never done it before) sorted me out. I am calmer, happier, all those big knots that were tying up my body have let go. Fresh lemon juice in water on waking... vege juices as a fairly regular thing.... and being so much more careful about the food I eat being nutritionally sound. This is the thing, if you look after your body and mind you will get there. Moping and either starving or overeating will not help you. I tend to not eat when stressed and its a terrible thing to do to your body. Be kind to yourself. At the end of the day you need to be your own best friend. 1
Got it Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 MyFitnessPal is a great motivation tool and forum to keep on track! I agree! I also recommend a FitBit! I have FitBit One and really like it. It sync to My Fitness Pal as well. Gets you moving!
gettingstronger Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Kudos to everyone improving themselves. Like I said I think it benefits everyone in the triangle when we take care of ourselves. I do wish some of these ow and fellow BS would heed this advice. A clear mind and honest heart is a gift not only to yourself but to those around you. 1
Hope Shimmers Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I did the same thing. Exactly. My Vitamix is the new love of my life. And Shaun T's T25 workout is a great substitute for sex. (Did I really say that?)
memickee Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I agree! I also recommend a FitBit! I have FitBit One and really like it. It sync to My Fitness Pal as well. Gets you moving! I got a BodyMedia FIT and have lost 44 lbs in the past 6 months! It's hard work, but worth it.
