when i start my day with food that is alive.. i feel most alive 🤲🏻
people always ask me about my energy and how i have no lack of, ever. my secret? monomealing fruit in the morning- a meal comprised of one food.
my go to monomeals are seeded watermelon, mango, rambutan and seeded red grapes. all of which are extremely hydrating!
- eating one fruit at a time is easy for the body to digest, so you will not exert energy breaking down food. in result you will be less tired throughout the day
-it reduces bloating. keeping meals simple and limiting food combination, especially in the morning, does not cause the body to react in a negative way being it ideal for optimal absorption and assimilation of nutrients
- it triggers satiation in the body, which in result prevents over eating
- for those of you who are curious about the sugar content in fruit.. know that fruit contains only natural sugars. but more specifically, choosing fruit such as melon and berries will result in immediate conversion of energy due to the fact that they contains glucose rather than fructose. don’t let these words scare you. glucose is simply metabolized and turned to energy that is used up by the whole body 🍉 my suggestion for optimal energy?
1. eat fruit once your body is awake and hungry, and allow it to digest, before eating anything else
2. be kind to your body. eat til you’re full. if you’re used to eating an extremely heavy breakfast, don’t be afraid to eat a whole bag of grapes or 5 oranges or keep it even more simple and drink a whole liter of coconut water

So, you ever feel like you constantly fighting, but it is never over. You Never reach that finish line! Well I have a couple of chronic illness, and for me it is a never ending loop where I fight so hard to work, study and have a life and be myself! However my loop never ends, I get to a good place then I have surgery or something else and I’m back to the start! People always say “stay positive”, which I do, most of the time, but no one can always be positive, life doesn’t work that way, you can’t just tell someone that and expect it to happen! Mental health is so important and I’ve just been though 3 months of therapy to get back to knowing myself now, and excepting me. Not just that girl with the illness! I will always fight what ever life throws at me, but sometimes I will be deflated, and sometimes I won’t be happy, no one can all the time.
It’s important for you to know that it’s okay, we can all get overwhelmed, we can all feel defeated and upset, life is hard and there is no way to change it! Except yourself and your situation and do your best to fight for yourself, self care is important, be it mental of physical health 🥰🥰
rant over, I know I don’t talk much about myself but I wanted to share this as I think it’s so important to normalise that happiness is important, but we can’t all be happy 100% of the time ❤️

Thank you girls for making me laugh so many times in these couple of months.
.
.
I wish there were so much more times like this. And so much less of those where im stuck in bed, alone, crying wishing for everything to pass. .
.
Its crazy how everywhere i go i meet beautiful souls. I like to think it's my karma 😂😂😂
.
.
It's one of the main resons I always push through. It makes my heart smile knowing im going to see my friends.
.
.
And i can truly say i have been blesed in life with having amazing ones. .
.
If you are one of my friends and reading this. Thank you so much for all good times , love and positivity we share.
.

Im a little bit more of a broken soul and positivity is not always my jam these days, but
#being in your presence im a little bit less broken and a bit more of a soul.

Ick. Pain Management appointment tomorrow. I hate them. I like my doctors - but these kind of appointments remind me I’m not okay. Everything about it reminds me I’m sick. I leave there in more pain because of all the probing. It’s also a teaching hospital (which I appreciate) but it means you see twice as many doctors and get to hear your diagnoses OVER AND OVER again.

Day 49, 2019 Sugar Rush
Today I had a pic n mix it tasted so good. But it gave me a mad sugar rush. 2 spin classes and a hours arms and abs work out followed by some chin ups at home I'm finally calming down 😂
I came back home looking like a sweaty mess who had been dragged through a bush backwards but I loved every second of it.
Time to get serious for a second. Sugar is my weakness but as a Crohns fighter it can turn from sheer joy or indulging to total regret but today was a good day. I can say I've been in remission with the odd day here and there for 6 months now. Boy does that feel good to say.
Working out drives me because if I think back to how I was a year ago not even being able to get off the sofa, I'm taking every single healthy second I can and running all the way with it. Never let anything or anyone stop you doing what you love whatever it may be. 🤗🙌👊

Cause - even when things are going awesome with treatment - you still need to listen to your body when it says “Stop - I need a recovery day”. I’m learning to listen! Oh - and growing your hair out - SUCKS! But I’m doing all the curly hair love and I’m adoring my return of my curl!

Perfect ending to our first week of public school for the kids! I went grocery shopping alone!! Plus got to do some fun browsing/shopping too! I didn't have to drag the kids along like I've had to for as long as I can remember!! Everyone is enjoying the new change! The kids have had a great week! Bronx is the only one struggling with adjusting to the change. That's to be expected considering he's been with mama since day one, but he's loving school! Liam and Evan are really enjoying it!! I'm clearly doing great with the change but it's taking time to get used to so much to do at night and getting ready for the next day. Our nights seem way busier between lunches, homework, clothes for next day etc... but all in all it was an amazing week! Everyone is starting to settle in and get accustom to our new lifestyle! So excited that we took the leap!!

This is where I am today - and why I’m starting this page. I’ve been aip for going on two years now, and it has changed my life. That really doesn’t do it justice, aip has given me my life back. It’s not something that’s easy to explain, the bedridden empty of energy constant debilitation and pain that autoimmunity brings. But now I’m in a new stage. I passed hope, I had it. I passed success, I found it. I’ve tasted healthy. IVE TASTED HEALTHY. But it’s easy to feel healthy and go off my healthy habits, just to fall back down. No longer do I need to get sick to remind myself why I want to be healthy. I know now, fully, the difference between the two. I am here to tell you I choose health, even if that means choosing not to eat out with loved ones, to focus more time and energy on things that could seem peripheral to most but are core issues for me. Maybe you understand? Maybe you’re here to do it to? So here is to my reset, 30 days of full aip to get back to healthy, and then the creation of healthy habits to keep me there. Because you know what you can do when you’re healthy that you can’t do when you’re not? Be yourself 😄

Jag har nu varit i kontakt med Hanna Bohman som skrev artikeln och tillika ledamot för Göteborgs Diabetesförening och fått hennes medgivande att lägga upp en bild av artikeln.
Jag kan förstå att en del kan tycka att det ska likvärdigt för alla och att många inte har något emot att betala för sitt insulin och sina hjälpmedel då andra grupper redan betalar för sina. Min oro är att vad som kan hända i framtiden, vad händer vid nästa steg? Vad skulle ske om högkostnadsskyddet slopas? Hur många kommer då inte ha råd att betala för sitt insulin och sina hjälpmedel? Varför göra det sämre för en grupp istället för att förbättra för andra? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have now been in contact with Hanna Bohman who wrote the article and also is a member of the Gothenburg Diabetes Association and got her consent to post a picture of the article.
I can understand that some may think that it should be equal for everyone and that many do not mind paying for their insulin and their aids, as other groups already pay for their. In Sweden we have a high-cost protection so that no one pays more that 2300 sek for their medicine a year. My concern is what can happen in the future, what happens at the next step? What would happen if the high-cost protection were abolished? How many will not be able to afford to pay for their insulin and their aids? Why make it worse for a group instead of improving for others?

Jeg deler ikke mine dårlige dage herinde for at få hjælp og råd. Støtte og en kærlig tanke er altid rart men Jeg er midt i undersøgelser, støtte, og snarlig opstart til behandling. Jeg deler fordi jeg håber at hvis der sidder et andet menneske derude og føler sig alene og forkert med lign symptomer så kan de se at det er de ikke 🙏❤️
Vi er mange der kæmper dagligt af årsager der Ikke er vores skyld. Jeg har "gode" dage hvor mine smerter er mindre, jeg går fri af anfald og jeg et øjeblik føler mig mere fri og let og hvor jeg kan nyde livet lidt bedre men stadig kun i små doser. Og jeg har dage som idag som er lort. Jeg føler jeg har høj feber, alt gør ondt, jeg er tung, træt og opgivende.og evt mange anfald. De dage skal bare overstås. Det hjælper mig de dage at se at jeg ikke er alene. At nogen forstår. Og jeg håber at kunne give det videre 🙏❤️

Words don’t even begin to describe how incredible today has been! I’ve faced fears of heights, snow, elevation. Threw my chronic illness out the fucking window and went for it. We went for one heck of a hike through
#zionnationalpark I’ve made memories to last a lifetime, want to come back again, plan another trip, do bigger and better things. I’m so grateful for all that I’ve done in these short days.
