BECAUSE of the last 2 weeks from hell, I did it. • Let’s take a minute to talk about #meditation. I can’t do it. I’ve tried so many times over the years in yoga, using apps,and even by just praying!. • Its like avoiding cake; I know it’s good for me, but I just can’t do it. Or is it just that I can’t do it the way everyone else does? • Well, I’ve found that my meditation comes in the form of cooking and baking. Baking especially forces me to focus on nothing but the recipe or dish in front of me. If I let my mind wander the cake doesn’t rise, the turkey comes out dry, or I lose the tip of a finger while chopping. (I saw it happen several times in culinary school. Ick!) • Cooking takes more than just focus. It takes me allowing my brain and spirit to go somewhere away from all the crap on this plane to another one that is peaceful and simple. • In order to move through (not past, but through) my grief I meditated on my recipes and the methods of cooking and baking. • I also cut myself slack by cooking only a #turkeybreast in an #InstantPot, as well as cooking this meal little by little over the last few days. I even let my husband make the mashed potatoes! 😲 • Yes it was a damned delicious table of food, I’m not gonna lie. But, it was also therapeutic in the way humming sounds of Om with eyes closed and legs crossed can be for traditional meditators. • I always say that we spoonies can do what everyone else can. We may just have to do it a little differently! • • • #Fibro #Fibromyalgia #Fibrowarrior #Fibrostrong #Fibroproblems #Fibrosucks #fibroawareness #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniewarrior #spoonieproblems #spooniestrong #spooniesupport #spooniesisterhood #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #spoonies_united #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #Chronicillnesswarrior #healthyeating #healthyfood #healthylife #healthyfoodporn #healthyrecipea #eathealthy
When ur in pain & wanna cook #Thanksgiving but can’t get ur meds fast enough! • Yeah, of all days, my body chose today to wake up in throbbing (& seemingly random) neck and shoulder pain. Although I’d already prepped a lot of dinner over the last few days, today was to be the last push. • Thankfully my #FibroHusband and his magic hands were home from work to do some #TriggerPointTherapy and get me to a functioning status. After cradling the upper half of my torso with my large veterinarian size heating pad, I was able to pull myself together and enjoy the holiday. • I’m gonna take the “W” even if it was an ugly win. Perfection will never happen in any world, much less a #SpoonieWorld. • So, rocky start or not, I finished strong! • • • #Fibro #Fibromyalgia #Fibrowarrior #Fibrostrong #Fibroproblems #Fibrosucks #fibroawareness #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniewarrior #spoonieproblems #spooniestrong #spooniesupport #spooniesisterhood #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #spoonies_united #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #Chronicillnesswarrior #emotionalsupportanimal #emotionalsupportcat #catwgriswold #thanksgivingdinner #catsofinstagram
Depression from #fibromyalgia can be lethal. Time for some real talk. • People with #Fibromyalgia are 10x more likely to commit suicide than the general population according to a Danish study a few years back. • I call it “having the blues”, but despite the cute description it’s not cute at all. • The holidays are here, hence the ridiculous amount of pie dough I made today. This season can be hard. Emotional events cause #FibroFlares and for me long flares turn into these blues. • The last week I’ve been mourning my friend and my body just couldn’t take anymore. • We all have our tricks to take the edge off our physical pain and other Fibro symptoms, right? So why shouldn’t we find little hacks to try to take the edge off of depression? • For me it’s baking. This method of getting out of my own head started when I was in college. When school was overwhelming, the internships draining, and boyfriends super annoying, baking was my outlet. I could tune all of that out because baking requires total focus on nothing but the recipe. Each step needs to be done with intention in order for something to come out successfully. • Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m fully aware that depression can make it hard to get out of bed, much less whip up a quick apple pie from scratch. I’ve dealt with those kinds of bouts as well. But luckily this recent case wasn’t one of them. • So please, reach out if you every feel like you can’t go on. Believe me when I say you can. You have a 100% survival rate up to now.

If at first you don’t succeed try and then give up. Then after a break maybe try again? • Low Carb bagels? Isn’t that an oxymoron? I have yet to find out. • These were my 2nd try at making the decadent breakfast food from a mixture of almond & psyllium husk flours. • They look great, right? Well they’re actually smaller than a hockey puck and about as dense. • You may be asking, “Talia, why bother?” Well, for one I love to bake. But more importantly, eating healthy as a #Spoonie is super important. • Finding ways to healthily enjoy the things I love makes this illness more bearable. Reducing the amount of starches (aka the things that turn into sugars) has made a big difference in my health. • I don’t feel like the highs and lows of my flares are QUITE as extreme. It hasn’t taken them away, but even marginal changes are worth it when it comes to an illness with no cure. Right? * * What are your #healthyeating hacks that have helped ease your #chronicillness symptoms, even if it’s just around the edges? I’d love to learn from you how else to live a healthy life! •••••• #healthyfood #healthylife #healthyfoodporn #healthyrecipea #eathealthy #Fibro #Fibromyalgia #Fibrowarrior #Fibrostrong #Fibroproblems #Fibrosucks #fibroawareness #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniewarrior #spoonieproblems #spooniestrong #spooniesupport #spooniesisterhood #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #spoonies_united #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #Chronicillnesswarrior #lowcarb #lowstarch
#SpoonieSpouses put in some serious hours. Long shifts with no pay. • I lost a close friend yesterday. A brother, not by blood but by choice. His passing was unexpected, shook me to my bones, and created an ache I can’t describe. • Today those same bones ache in a different way, in a #FibromyalgiaFlare kind of way. • Spoonie spouses work 2 shifts when we have emotional events in our lives: 1) First shift is the usual duty of any spouse to support us as their partner while we mourn. 2) They then pull a 2nd shift when they support us during the inevitable #FibroPain that follows as we #Flare due to the life event. • This man, @fcmiele, never calls in sick when it comes to those “shifts”. • I was a mess until he was able to rush home after I got the news. Simply holding me and allowing me to cry until my abs hurt was what I needed. Then sharing our memories from crazy times with our dear friend was like Neosporin on an incision from open-heart surgery: mildly soothing and better than nothing. • My husband isn’t perfect, that I can certify. But the effort to keep me both physically and emotionally above water is a task he never shies from. • So, let’s give those Spoonie Spouses the love they deserve! ••••• Tell me about a time your Spouse/Partner/Friend has pulled double shifts supporting you! ••••• #Fibro #Fibromyalgia #Fibrowarrior #Fibrostrong #Fibroproblems #Fibrosucks #fibroawareness #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniewarrior #spoonieproblems #spooniestrong #spooniesupport #spooniesisterhood #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #spoonies_united #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #Chronicillnesswarrior #chronicfatigue #chronicfatiguesyndrome
#SpoonieHacks & #BakingHacks can be 1 in the same. • During a #fibroflare last week I needed something sweet. But my energy level was low, to say the least, thanks to #chronicfatigue. • So, I decided to test out an easier version of a recipe that had been on my mind for a while. • These grain filled bars were made easy when I ended up using @glenhavencanningco cherry pie filling instead of making my own from scratch. • For pie filling it’s unique, fresh tasting, and huge! About 1/2 a can made a 9X9” pan of bars. • The fruit in this can is still whole and the sugar not nearly as high as more common brands. • As a trained chef it kills me to use “shortcuts”, especially when baking. But as a #Spoonie I know I need to be nicer to myself. • I can’t help how my body decides to act on a day to day basis. It’s ok to acknowledge that and do what I can to still enjoy life...and dessert! • What do you do to cut yourself some much needed slack because of your #ChronicIllness? ••• #vegandessert #veganfoodporn #veganfoodshare #healthyeating #healthyfood #healthylife #healthyfoodporn #eathealthy #Fibro #Fibromyalgia #Fibrowarrior #Fibrostrong #Fibroproblems #Fibrosucks #fibroawareness #spoonielife #spooniewarrior #spoonieproblems #spooniestrong #spooniesupport #chronicpain #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #Chronicillnesswarrior
