Debbie - Yeah I think so. The thing is when I say "spoonful" I tend to have that over the course of a day. I literally will put a little bit of raw honey on the tip of a spoon and eat that, the a few more like that. I can't stomach a whole spoonful at once lol. But I did read that in a book I have that if you are craving sweets a bit of raw honey can help. The lady who wrote it said she would eat a spoonful of it and because it is so sweet it would satisfy her. I have to admit I was okay with it, but I needed something crunchy so the little apple crumble thing worked. All i did was pulse about a cup of raw pecans, a cup of raw almonds until they were broken down enough and still crunchy. Then I did use a pinch of salt and agave nectar (which isn't entirely raw), maybe a tablespoon of that. I pulsed briefly to incorporate that. Dumped that out into a bowl, pulsed an apple with cinnamon and nutmeg...mixed it all up. That is all I did and it wasn't the best thing in the world, but it has possibilities. So quick!
Cyn - Hope the doc visit goes well, it is today yes? I hope you and your Son get the matter resolved soon. Personally, I think a lawyer is a good move either way. It sounds like the girls family is counting on you not getting legal representation. *HUGS*
Annie - I hope the doc appointment goes well! I hope you start getting those answers!
Pink - *HUGS*

Well...TOM has finally visited, so I'm on the first day woo. Finally...I have to say this month was the best in terms of handling cravings and food control. I did have a few treats in terms of hummus or olives, but I didn't go crazy. We'll see how that manages to turn out weight wise.
I'm crampy today, but up and a lot brighter than I have been. I feel like all that hormonal junk is starting to lift now.
Gotta deal with my insurance company, but I'm putting it off until Monday. I can't deal with it today.
I went to the health food store and got more Turmeric pills. Anyone suffering from HS (hidradenitis suppurativa) or other autoimmune diseases should check that out. The Turmeric has made a difference, it helps things a bit and my skin is better, not perfect, but better. I take two 500mg pills a day.
No big deal... when I stop taking them I see my flare ups start to get worse. I think diet plays a big roll as well and I hope with continued weight loss things will get better.
I also went to Target and got a new workout thing with resistance bands. I hope that goes well. I did get the medium and not the heavy strength. I figured I'm kind of a newbie with this and since it was only $13, I can easily get the heavy or another brand so I'm not worried about it.
I hope everyone is well.

Kinda hard when your choices are limited cuz you can't make it to the store due to snownami (my friends name for this crazy weather we're having).
