I have found for myself that it was a lot easier to change my diet when I learned how damaging a lot of the foods I was eating were to my body. After watching the Sweet Freedom summit, it was like a switch went off inside me and foods I know were a crutch for me (because sugar is more addicting than cocaine), like ice-cream which would often be my breakfast or dinner, I no longer craved them. It was empowering and I think everyone should be able to know the truth of what they are eating and what it is doing to their health, something the medical community doesn't assign much credit to.<br />Thank you for commenting!!K.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107423719679698228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997076249876433224.post-90705933699347864702017-08-19T11:35:18.178-04:002017-08-19T11:35:18.178-04:00Thanks for sharing this resource!

ME/CFS/FM can be so isolating and lonely, especially when you're too tired to talk to people. I have to say there are two things that keep me going: My faith and my online friends. With my faith (I'm a Christian), I find comfort and even joy when I read the Bible and when I pray. They keep me connected to the One who is my strength when I am weak. It helps me to break the stinkin' thinkin' cycle. My online friends are people I've met through different groups and blogs and I really recommend it (you can find many on FB). I'm in quite a few groups (too many, lol!). Some are for spoonie folks like you and me, some are blogging groups, others are faith-based. I find people who understand the daily struggles of chronic illness (invisible illnesses) and we encourage and uplift one another. I hope this has helped you and I thank you for reading. :-)K.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107423719679698228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997076249876433224.post-44712869280346017742017-07-12T22:29:49.695-04:002017-07-12T22:29:49.695-04:00Wow timing is everything.

I found you because of the picture on Pinterest and I clicked through to read and I have just written in my journal that the brain stuff is worse than the pain and people don't realise how much ME/CFS & FM have stolen from my brain. It drains me more to verbalise what I need to say that it is less painful to do it myself and therefore more things never actually get done. The feeling I get when someone asks a question is indescribable it is an actual mental pain that stops me in my tracks. So I was meant to find you as I'm feeling very low and pessimistic but I want to find out what keeps you going :) Joanna :)JoCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403626496953885181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997076249876433224.post-50331905999050215522015-08-12T19:46:50.171-04:002015-08-12T19:46:50.171-04:00Proud of you for making these comments!Proud of you for making these comments!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674043496458525127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997076249876433224.post-78156391904475283792015-04-30T13:35:03.252-04:002015-04-30T13:35:03.252-04:00It truly is and I am blessed to be a part of it. ...It truly is and I am blessed to be a part of it. :-)K.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107423719679698228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997076249876433224.post-16242836357630478452015-04-29T16:46:02.908-04:002015-04-29T16:46:02.908-04:00WAW IS the BEST group around, if I must say so mys...WAW IS the BEST group around, if I must say so myself.

How I become close to God and grow in my faith is unique to only me, as it is for everyone. That you KNOW He is with you no matter what is the true blessing. It is unfortunate that there are those who think they are too "sinful" to be loved by God and watched over by Him, for if we saw ourselves as He does, if we saw HIM for who He is, we would know, always know, that He is with us, guiding us and giving us strength no matter what. I have to constantly check myself with some reality because when I have been too busy or tired to really study the Bible and I only read a couple Scriptures, I risk that legalistic voice in my head condemning me for not being a better Christian. I'll start comparing myself with some friends of mine that are ALWAYS studying Scripture and find myself lacking. That's when I have to say, "Get behind me Satan!" because God knows my heart and He knows what I can and can't do, and Praise Him for He loves me still! My relationship to Him is unique to me and between Him and I, just as yours and everyone else's is unique and just between Him and you. :) Thanks for sharing!K.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107423719679698228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997076249876433224.post-16483197139822811162012-04-19T07:23:16.091-04:002012-04-19T07:23:16.091-04:00I always ask myself-"Where would I be today i...I always ask myself-"Where would I be today if He wasn't there to guide me & give me strength through so much in my life".
