Hi!

I just posted this in my journal, but I wanted to run it past you who read this part of the forum, too, so I can get your input.

Firstly, I am so excited because I have noticed a huge improvement in my body. Here's a "copy & paste" from my journal entry today, so I don't have to retype it all.

*******
An observation I have made about my body and how it's changing after being on this program for 3 months: I am not sweating as much as I used to. All my life--even when I was thin in high school--I have sweat profusely on JUST my head and neck area, but no where else, really.

Well, the last couple of weeks, when I have been in the same situations where I would normally have sweat like a race horse and been dripping on my head and neck with sweat, I have remained COMPLETELY DRY! YAH!!! This is a major improvement in my life, as it was the major source of aggravation and discomfort for me.

Normally, when going shopping in places where it traditionally a bit warm year round, like Wal-Mart, Costco, the mall, etc, I have sweat so much on my head and neck and it was very embarassing, not to mention uncomfortable.

But this weekend, even my husband agreed with me that something is changing in my body that I am not as prone to sweat like that anymore. IF this holds true, this is the most significant step in the healing process for me, and if I don't lose another pound, I will have achieved something that will drastically have changed my life for the better. You have no idea, unless you suffer with this condition, what this freedom from sweat will mean to me!

When I went to the flea market, I never sweat, in nearly 3-hours of walking! When we went to Costco this weekend, not a drop, and it was HOT HOT HOT in there! Now, I still get warm, but it's not the kind of warm that makes me wanna kill someone anymore but just that I am warm, nothing more.

So, this is a major improvement for me, and one I never expected to change b/c I have been this way forever. I wonder if any of you have suffered with this same condition?

Would love to hear your thoughts. I may not be able to read this forum for a couple of days, I will try to get back and see any postings later today when I come home. Thanks in advance for your replies, and have a great day! --TheBetty
