JenDiet--Thanks for the links! I've never heard of this before! I love reading about stuff like this. Already, I'm a believer!
I'm a thyroid body type:
You Are A Thyroid Body Type
Your predominant characteristic is "weight gain all over".
You most likely have a stubborn or slowed metabolism and the type of fat you accumulate is a spongy, waste-like product.
-----
Sample diet for Thyroid types:
T-Types are naturally slim and lithe, and when they gain too much weight, it goes to their hips and thighs. They crave sweets, caffeine and starches, but they should eliminate those as well as fruit. Their “plenty foods” are raspberry tea, eggs, poultry, and fish, and their ideal schedule is three meals in even amounts of calories.

I already eat like that! But eliminate fruit? Ughhh, I LOVE fruit, I would hate to do that. I love eggs and fish tho, and I do eat 3 meals and roughly around the same cals...so that's good.

I don't get it, so you ate your SO (btw, what is that stand for?)'s food and by doing so he is supposed to feel bad? He had stop overs to do. I'm sure he appreciates your hard work and availability, though it's tough to show it at the end of a long hard day of work. Hmmm...corn muffins sound good! I can't wait to have some once I'm off this darn diet and back down to weight! As for your salt cravings...I heard that sea salt is good to add to food because of it's larger crystals making the food taste saltier, and dissolves slightly slower upon taste. A lot of foods naturally have salt so watch the intake. I tried this herbed salt called herbamare from A.Vogel (from whole foods, but I think regular stores now have). I sprinkle it on my food and it makes it taste better, but you don't need a lot for the flavour to come out. It has just a tad less sodium than regular salt/sea salt per gram, but the combo with herbs makes it taste better. Well, I hope you feel better and the baby stops fussing.
