By cute little kokiri girl · Posted
"Well princess we have a few things to take care of, we have to decorate for Halloween, me and Ana have a few grown-up things we have to do for our little Emily then we have to pick out your costumes for Halloween." Both Alice and Madison became excited when they heard about their costumes even Emily perked up a bit, "Mommy does that mean we're going trick or treating?" Ana giggled, "Of course my little snowflake we're going trick or treating we always go trick or treating." Alice was practically bouncing when she heard that, she loved going trick or treating it was one of the joys she took from her baby lifestyle even before that when she was still adult Alice she would dress up and go trick or treating pretending to be a child in order to get free candy. Truth be told she always made sure to wear a mask when she went out not to be discovered, "Can I go trick or treating too?" Emily asked but when she was ignored she sighed and repeated her question but in little baby talk. "Can me go trick or tweeting thoo mommy?" Camila smiled and said, "Of course but only if you're a good girl because only good girls get to go out on Halloween." -

I never did like being a bedwetter growing up. I always woke up soaking wet. Finally stopped bedwetting around age 18 in 1969. It was hit or miss for a few years, only to restart again. Then I started to wear diapers and plastic pants nightly then . Still wetting now, age 75 -
I thought it might be helpful others to tell my story here. TLDR: Diet and exercise and work, if you keep at it and don't give up. I worked most of my life sitting at a desk in front of a computer screen and never exercised much, apart from running to the server room when something went wrong. I tried to follow the low fat lifestyle that was so popular in the '90s and ended up putting on about 10 lbs a year instead. By 2000, I was a 6' tall 52yo that weighed 285 lbs. My life and slowed down a bit and I was no longer working 60 hours a week and my wife and I were empty nesters. I also had aspirations of re-learning how to snow ski. I'd tried it when I was in college and loved it, but having a wife and family made that hobby way too expensive for our budget. With the kids gone, we could finally afford it again. I decided the best path forward was to join the YMCA and start exercising. They had people there to show you the ropes, a default routine to follow and a way to track your progress. I followed it pretty closely and went there 3 or 4 times a week with about 20 minutes of fast walking and 20 minutes of weight lifting. After 2 1/2 years, I'd only lost about 15 pounds, but I was comfortable being fat. I was mostly doing it so my legs and arms would be strong enough to hold me up for more than 1 run down the easy slope before I was too tired to go on. In 2002, 18 months later, my blood work came back with my triglycerides over 250 for the second year in a row. My doctor suggested that I think about doing something about it and gave me standard "low cholesterol / low triglyceride" diet sheet they keep around as a handout. At this point, my focus switched to getting my blood chemistry closer to normal, so I decided to follow the diet. The basic elements of the diet were to stop consuming all forms of sugar and the kinds of starch that would convert to sugar quickly and eat very little fat. You could eat all the veggies and mushrooms you want along with a reasonable amount of protein. One interesting part was you could have 1 slice of bread and 6oz of beer. I ended up skipping the bread and drinking a 12oz beer! I stopped drinking all soda (don't care for diet soda) and any other drink with sugar in it. I also gave up bread, pasta and deserts. I wasn't so careful with the fats though (I really like BBQ). After following the diet for a month (and still working out), I'd lost 10 pounds. After another 4 months, I'd lost another 20. At my next doctor's appointment, I'd lost another 10 pounds and my triglycerides were back to normal and for the year I'd lost 40 pounds. I went on a ski trip the next year using rented equipment. The next year I bought some skis, boots and poles. By 2009, 5 years after I changed my diet and 9 years after I started working out, I'd lost a total of 90 pounds and was able to stay at that weight level for the next 6 years. What happened after that is another story. In the end, I didn't see my journey as "being on a diet". We all have diets. Your diet it is what you eat. In my mind, I switched to a new diet and left the old diet behind. The general guidelines I follow these days are to eat salad, veggies and meat. In that order. Is it ok to have some ice cream from time to time? Well, if that happens more that once every few months, then that's really become part of your diet. When I eat BBQ, I don't really use much sauce, when I eat Mexican food, I stay away from the chips and skip the sopapilla. I've been known to eat ice cream, but I stick with the "no sugar added" stuff and because ice cream is loaded with lactose, I only have it a few times a year.
