Hey, Choices! I'm glad you're still around and checking in.
Where in Washington are you? We were at McChord for three years and loved it. We're hoping to retire up to the Olympic peninsula in a couple years, unless we really love Germany and decide to stay there... Choices, choices!
I can't really answer any of your questions about relationships, but honestly I don't know if anyone can. Unless you're being faced with an obvious need-to-get-out NOW situation like abuse, then only you can determine whether the cost of working things out is worth the benefit of remaining in the relationship. Tom and I have hit patches that have been rough and we spat at times, but there has never been a question that our goals and dreams include our family being together. None of our pittly issues have been massive enough to crush our commitment to each other. But I think you have to evaluate what both you and your husband are willing to put into fixing things before you can answer whether you should stay or go. One big humungous pool of gray area, here!
Is the issue with protein and high cholestrol where the protein source is? I don't know a lot about this, but what if you researched some vegan protein sources? I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian so I eat dairy and eggs, but what if you got protein from egg whites or fat free milk or other low fat or fat free sources such as those? Tofu...beans...nuts... I try to have some kind of protein with each meal, be it cheese or beans or nuts or tofu or cottage cheese or yogurt. You need protein in your diet. I would try to figure out the reason behind the low protein recommendation so you can eat appropriate proteins to keep you full and energized.
Hope that helps! Good to see you around!

but,and i do mean this sincerely, you all have helped me alot...
I'm not sure whether i'm coming or going sometimes..as the marital game of tug continues...One question in that regard..how does a person know when it's time to get out/end a relationship;ORRRRRRR,keep trying? I'm not into beating a dead horse,so to speak,but I think one of my biggest weaknesses is I hang in too long,and then go over the 'why didn't i do that sooner' routine. Okay..really how do you know? On another note,good stuff..I went to yoga twice last week,and tai chi once,and walked the dog four days...I'm just a seeker of feel good,and get rid of some of the anxiety,and stress..However number 2 I'm still in a state of confusion of what to eat? with hi cholostrol,i'm told to eat less protein, but oatmeal/wwheat everything,and veggies are all good. which is what i ate all last week..several days (3) i had no animal protein at all..and guess what,? I think i'm gaining,and i'm starving all the time..i do not feel as good as i did when i was on phase 1...what is the answer to that?
dunno...any answers,suggestions,are so welcome..take care,
