Did there used to be a thread with this name? I don't see it currently.
Anyhoo, I've debated where to post this, but since I seem to be here most often, I'll give it a shot. (Though my other areas--100pounds and the eating disorders group would certainly be appropriate.)
Since I've joined you all this week, I swear, I'm going up in weight! I have deliberately stayed off the scale until the moday weigh in. We'll see what happens then!
But I was already in a "purge the house" kind of trend--cleaning, etc, and what I found myself doing today was this: "Oh. I have 1.5 cups of the evap. milk left in the fridge. I'm leaving for the weekend tomorrow. How might I use this with dinner tonight so it doesn't go to waste?"
Well, not really a bad question....if the answer involves making scrambled eggs or something equally innocuous...but as part of the "purge the house" syndrome, I'm getting rid of other stuff that doesn't need to be around. Like the packet of Knorr's Pasta Alfredo Sauce Mix!
So guess what I had for dinner tonight? Ahem. And did I eat the whole thing? Why yes....yes I did.
The rest of the day was a turkey breast sandwich, some carrots, a nonfat yogurt, a fudgsicle, and more turkey. (The real stuff--poached--not lunchmeat.) Oh--and a scone and coffee.
So I don't know. On the whole, if you eliminate the alfredo, it wasn't too extreme....but still..I'm a little off the ball when it comes to determining how much I've ingested.
My psychiatrist, bless his soul (he's a real medical/science geek), once assured me when I was feeling guilty that it was OK to eat the whole can of tuna. That in fact, with my size it would be totally appropriate to have TWO whole cans of tuna at a meal for the protein.
Plus at age 45 I think I'm premenopausal. Missed my period last month (pregnancy is NOT a possibility
) and I'm tired. Of course Dr. M also pointed out yesterday that I'm about a month low on my Prozac (it should have been time for a refill and I still had three "weeklies" left!)...which probably accounts for the tiredness.
Anyhoo, I'm rambling. Sorry. If this isn't appropriate (or is too food oriented) for alternachicks, just let me know and the mod (ellis...is that you here? I can't keep track of who moderates what!) can crosspost or move it to another group. Just let me know where to go mumble and whine. Or oink.
