1 year out and leg cramps
Hello everyone yesterday on 082603 was my 1 year anniversay. All I
have to say is wow! It feels so good. Even though I have only lost 85
lbs its such a difference in my life. The last weekend my family and
I went to a party and I wore a tank top and it started to get cold. I
asked my 13 year old son for his shirt he looked at me and laughed.
He said yah right this wont fit you. I said give it to me I put it on
and it look better on me then on him. He was shocked that his mother
could fit in something of his. Also another thing I love is when I go
shopping. I am so use to going to the plus sizes. But now I still do
and it feels weird because nothing there fits but I still go there.
Now when I go to the regular sizes I feel as if everyone is just
looking at me and saying she does not belong on this side. Does
anyone else do these things? But I do have one question. In the last
week I have been woken up 3 times screaming because of a leg cramp I
get in the same place on the same leg. It really hurts so bad. Does
anyone know what the cause could be. Its hurts so bad even the next
day I can still feel where it was. Any help is appreciated.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but…
Pinch your upper lip, right in the “groove”. Pinch it until it begins to
hurt a bit and hold the pinch. You will feel the leg cramp ease up. Once the
cramp in your leg no longer hurts…continue to pinch for a minute longer. The
cramp should go away completely.
I do not know why this works or how, but it is an old trick from my basketball
days back in high school!!
Good luck,
Lindsay
