Brush Your Teeth and Take Your Melatonin

Steve Bruhn — Sat, 10 May 2008 18:55:14 GMT

Here's a health tip good for just about everyone-take melatonin at betime to sleep better and wake up a little healthier. (it's not for everyone, see the warnings too)

It's not just for getting over jeg lag. It helps get your natural nightime clock going right so your daytime clock starts out right. Do a google on it and read about it. I didn't want to get more technical than that since there is so much to read on it.

I don't sell it either so you are on your own.

I Wish Skinny People Would Shut Up About D&E!

When I was 300 lb, I used to poke at skinny people on forums that acted like they were experts on diets and exercize (D&E), and since they are thin, they must be right...

Not.

If you want to understand diets and weight problems, the last person you need advice from is someone who doesn't have the problem or understand it!

I don't ask tall people for data on how they got tall. They don't know, but you might find some that think so.

The Most Important Diet Step of All

Maybe the most important diet step of all is research before you start.

We live in a world of big diet plans that are mass marketed, as if one-size-fits-all.

Can Exercise Really Make You Gain?

"Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program."

I had to remind myself of that as I started this blog about some of us that say exercise simply does not work for us and leads to weight gain and fatigue.

I'm struggling with that now and want to do cycling today, but it seems every time I do, I shoot up 5 lb and it takes three days to beat back down again.

Notes From the Other Size

What if you had a disease that not only affected you, but all the people around you? I don't mean something contagious, I mean something that makes you huge, and people around you change without realizing it. They change, and they change you too.

I didn't think about this really until I was fortunately enough to find a solution for a medical weight problem and things went from chronically out of control to shifting back to normal quickly.
