Which begs the question: which is more harmful — obesity (and diabetes) or an eating disorder? I’ve implemented a “one-treat rule” in our home, which simply means that if my kids get ice-cream after school, they have already had their treat and don’t get dessert after dinner. I try to explain as delicately as I can that too many sweets and too much junk food makes you sick. Fat too, yes. But, more importantly, sick. “What happens when you eat more than one treat?” my daughter asked me awhile back. And, well, I’m not proud of this, but I think I said, while my mind was somewhere else: “You blow up.” So yesterday she had a s...

I’m a skinny, out of shape weakling.  I’ve always hated exercising. I’ve been a dancer and choreographer most of my life.  But to me it never was exercise; it was a profession.  Since my first surgery I’ve suffered from dizziness that keeps me from dancing.  I feel like I’ve been evicted from the heaven of the dance world and am now walking among mortals who have to face the drudgery of jogging, yoga, and stair masters.  I find exercising utterly and mind numbingly boring.  I detest it. I’ve tried many strategies to get myself to exercise.  Positive reinforcement: Reading...

By Sheila LehnerFor more Insight into Alzheimer's DiseaseSubscribe to The Alzheimer's Reading RoomThe bright cheery day room of the nursing home was full of residents who had been brought there to spend their afternoon. Some were sleeping. Many were just staring blankly. A few were pacing. Music was playing but no one was listening.The group’s leader comes into the room and turns off the music. She greets the group warmly first as a whole and then individually smiling and making eye contact with each member of the ‘class’.The ‘teacher’ then announces that some great music is in store for them. The music begins. “Listen! Can everyone hear it?” she asks. “...

I do want this paper towel! I do! Look, here I am reaching my arms underneath it!

I was joking on the important part… Well, one of my other very embarrassing, as my husband calls it, lil’ pleasures in life is my good ol’ People magazine! I love the dirt, the accusations and the occasional really good, informative story, which is what this would fall under. Some of you might have already seen the article and read through it but for those that didn’t, I’m going to share. The story is about a Chicago first grader Lilly Jaffe who has been diabetic since she was one month old and her trials, complications and use of an insulin pump. At this point in her very young and full life Lilly d... Diabetes Notes blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1121296 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 03:12:22 +0100 1121296
