Tonight's rendition of my
experiences was going to be one for the record books due to my desire to please my
readership, ha! And I say that with tongue in cheek and with many winks to
boot! (Since in reality I do believe that most nights it is only me that is
pleased, or not...ha!)
Although, I do enjoy writing until I am done, done...
Sometimes, just sometimes, my ability to complete my self imposed assignments are harder than one may think.
Like for tonight; I was all ready to tell you about some interesting article I read in a freebie toss paper found on display at the Cultural Center yesterday, Feeling Fit. Why not I say? Which had an intense item about a little known disorder called 'orthorexia' the name has been around since 1996, but yet has been not been accepted as a formal diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the bible of psychiatric illness.

"Orthorexia
Obsessiveness
about the quality of the food being ingested, ensuring that it is the most
healthy, the most organic, etc."
I bet
most of you didn't know that, hmm?
Neither
did I, don't you love learning?
A
hallmark of orthorexia is perfectionism, finding the perfect foods. The culture
immersed in the right way to eat: Juice, Paleo, low-carb, no-fat, and GMO-free
diets abound! Some people get so obsessed with making sure that they eat this
not that, that they break down emotionally and eat nothing!
Fascinating
stuff, and who hasn't met someone in this day and age who didn't tell them
they shouldn't eat this or that due to this or that!
Why
that whole MS site that I was first on was dictated by a woman who insisted
that what she was eating is what everyone should eat to be cured! And now I
do realize she had the symptoms of this known disorder, ORTHOREXIA! And the end
result according to this article is that these people, yep I used the phrase,
'these people' you betcha, any-who these people have a mental disorder and
eating disorder, hmm, sad, but true.
Too
many of us get sucked in by well meaning people thinking that their way is the
only way in so many things... think with your GUTS people, if it feels wrong
back out, as fast as you can go!
Just a
suggestion, far be it for me to tell any of you what to do, really!
It
makes me laugh thinking what I said, about thinking with your guts, well that
is another thing that seems to have taken hold with that popular society that
our 'guts' are the centers of our universal health issues... who knows, but
that is why they believe that eating THEIR way or no way is how to resolve that
issue! If only...
Today,
I had my reg doc visit and she was to give me the results of my blood-work and
mammogram, and she did have most all of that... mam was fine, I did smile as
always, and my low dose thyroid medication is working and so my thyroid is
stable, but the rest of the answers were not answered since the second page
with my cholesterol and diabetes A1-c were not done, and so they took those today and profusely apologized. Dr. Nord knows that I am a hardass I guess i.e. with
people messing up, but since it was their first time I said , " they're
only human", and wait there's more... “that Kelli who did the last one and
I am sure that it was just an oversight",
have
you picked yourselves up off the floor?
I
should have those results by tomorrow I was told.
Doctor
Nord gave me a hug and cheek kiss goodbye, and I said, "nice touch".
And she smiled.
I also
got my five year pneumonia shot and so I am now good till 2019!
On
those notes which I really thought I wasn't going to get to, since I really was
feeling yucky after dinner tonight, nauseous and weak and dizzy... but I
survived! Must have been something I ate, ha, ha, ha! So allow me to be the
very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly
count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we
will too!
And
next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
