Accountability Angel

Okay so I know I am really good at saying it but this time I am seeking the support from my OH family. When I feel like I am failing I go into hiding. I need an angel just like at the beginning. I need someone who can be tough. Someone who will e-mail me or facebook me if I look like I am dropping off the cyber universe.

I am scared I am really really really really sucking at taking my supplements. As I am going for more infusions and vit B12 shots it has put the fear in me. This morning with the support of my daughter she helped me put together some supplement packs today. I need to buy more but I have a good start until the weekend.

I am up and down with my food and my weight. However, right now I am more concerned about taking my supplements and I seem to be obsesseed with my weight I know this is one aspect I am really good at holding myself accountable.

I need to get this under control before I make myself even more sick then what I am!!!!!

I feel like I'm forgetting something. lol

Okay so I am 4 years out had the DS surgery and struggle with deficenties so when I spoke with the vitalady last year this is the schedule she gave me. I have teaked it a little bit but not too much. I am going to do this until July and have my labs taken again.

I am suppose to take a lot of vitimans throughout the day.

Vit C, D3, A/D, E
b12 - monthly through doctor
iron - 2 a week through infusion

There are a couple of other ones I do not have right now and need to make a trip to the States to get them.

I'm wondering why you are having a hard time with taking the supplements.

Is it because you forget and all of a sudden it's 5 O'clock and you can't get them all in...or??? 

If it's a timing issue would taking them at every meal help - so it becomes routine?

Do you have a container to put them in (or perhaps that's what you mean by supplement pack)
At the $1.25 store they have weekly pill containers. I find they help

Keep the container somewhere you will walk by it several times a day.

I am having a hard time because I stopped being committed to them and stopped having them apart of my daily routine. My supplements were in a big container with their little baggies under my bed. Therefore out of site out of mind.

I have set my alarm on my phone to remind me it is time to take them. It worked for the first part of the day yesterday but then I had my Osterporsis Infusion and went to bed so I did not take the dinner or bedtime supplements.

But today is a new day.... My alarm is set my little baggies are marked and I have taken my morning pills all ready so I would like to think I am off to a good start. I think this really is going to be one day at a time for me. But hopefully I will have a lot of good days.

Kerry

You are starting out well - with a positive attitude that is.

If keeping them in little baggies works for you, how about having them a little more visible in different locations. Like say, keep your bedtime bag on your night stand? or the dinner one in the kitchen?

Good luck to you!

Isn't it weird how that can happen? It's almost like an aversion.  Stoopid brain.
