Last Monday night which was 4 nights ago I had a really big scare with my health. I felt like I was having a Heart Attack. I was doing something and then all of a sudden I have a bad pain down my left arm, I went on and kept busy. I went to lay down shortly after and I kept getting this pain.
I got up and then felt like I was going to collaspe, I rang the after hour doctors and the receptionist told me to call 000. I was so scared. I called and within a few minutes I had an Ambulance at my door.
They checked me over and found my heart racing, it was beating a 182. As they are doing their tests my body was shaking that bad like I was cold it was so weird.
In the end I wasn't having a heart attack but having aniexty attack. I was so scared tho.
The next night I called a Dr out and found out the reason why I was in pain was because I had a really bad broncities. So I relaxed a little. So for the last fews days I haven't done any exercising and just relaxed my body. Last night was the first night I was able to get back too it.
I am just feeling so relaxed now about the weight loss since I had a big scare, as if I am not alive whats the point of looking skinny
Glad you are ok now DanaG, it must have been very frightening for you.
You are right there is no point in getting stressed about losing weight, you need to be focused but you only live once ! I worked that out 2 years ago, life is too short to be stressed over things, do what you can and live life to the fullest.

I used to have the exact same problem when Natasha was younger. It's very stressful raising young children. It does get easier as they get older but as most of you know I have been having some big fights with Natasha lately. But I still manage to cope a lot better than I used to . I find that being fit and healthy also helps cope with stress.
I also find going on here and other forums and having a good vent really helps.
Maybe we should be focusing on being healthy instead of being skinny? What do you reakon?

Actually speaking of being thin. I was out walking today and walked past the real estate agency that I work at and this girl that works there came out of the office and she was wearing skin tight black tights and a skin tight top it looked like she was auditioning for a porno movie. A lot of the girls that work there are gorgeous but I think she went a bit overboard today.

I agree Belle, I want to feel healthy now. LOL yes I want to be skinny and wear nice clothes to but I want to be healthy more. I don't want an heart attack.
I ended up in hospital with pneumonia and I nearly died....and have had a few operations since then as well. That is why I am taking such good care of myself now. I am sick of being in hospital.

@ danag: that was scary! glad you are ok now. were you home alone that time? it's a good thing that you still were conscious to call emergency. by the way, did you consult your doctor and asked if 3 days was enough for your rest?
Marga: I was at home on my own with 3 small children, my oldest was 7. I had a hard time waking him up just in case I did collaspe. I was very scared. I ended up taking the rest of the week off. I only did 20 minutes on Thursday night. Tomorrow is Sunday so will be getting back into it daily.
Belle: I am really sorry to hear that, I am glad that you are taking good care of yourself :)
I'd have to put mine outside if I had one I don't think there's enough room in my town house for one. I live in a really nice suburb so I enjoy going for walks. Except when it rains I still go but it's just not as enjoyable.
I also try and get down to The Kangaroo Point cliffs on a Sunday and walk to GOMA and back with my faithful companion Buddy. He has a really bad rash on his belly at the moment and it's hanging around like a bad smell. He's got a bald belly and he's prone to rashes but this is the worst one he's ever had. BTW Buddy's my dog

LOL I had figured that buddy was your dog. I am glad that you enjoy walking the streets Belle, I personally don't like it. A few years ago I did it and I had a car stop and start following me I ran into the shop I was near and they drove away, since then I have never walked the streets alone.
That sounds funny when you phrase it like "walking the streets". I walk anywhere and everywhere and there is only the one lunatic that hassles women around here and I've stopped talking to him. The suburb I live in is fairly safe...I also go down to Southbank for walks.
