Hey Kathy, confession time here, I have had some bad days lately, not enough protein, too many carbs, ugghhh I need to get a handle on this again, I feel like I'm drowning. Breakfast: breakfast bar Snack: Cheese Stick Lunch: 4 oz homemade chili w/kidney beans Snack: Sam's Choice Trail Mix and popcorn - I went carb crazy Dinner: ham and cheese rollup Snack: 6 corn chips w/french onion dip I have got to get back into my routine of using protein shakes, my hair is falling out again (not a whole lot but I definitely see some loss daily). No exercise, lots of water & crystal light and all of my vitamins. Dana

hey Kath ... my nutritionist has banned me from fitday for a while, and I'm freakin out a bit ... it isn't helping so far, but THURS brkfst: plum, coffee lunch: grande SF vanilla nonfat latte dinner: french onion soup, coffee 20 oz water w/rasp crystal lite

Honey, what's up with your eating? What about protein? Please do not short your body on protein. And the milk in the latte and cheese on the soup isn't enough. Be well, Kathy

Thanks Kathy ... I'm trying to come to terms with not having an appetite and being a bit restrictive with my food. This has been going on for a while, and although I "know" better, can't seem to get out of this (I have been working with my nut and therapist). It doesn't help that I get pains when I eat solid foods, and what feels best in my tummy are warm liquids (soups, coffee). I do have a few cases of protein shakes, but they've been sitting in the box by the front door since the day I got them, or I'll go to the fridge, open it, and a voice says "nope, we're not doing that", so I close the fridge and leave the room. My nut and I have been focusing on just breakfast for now, and for the past week (with the exception of today [so far], yesterday, and Wednesday), the five days prior to that I did pretty good with a good breakfast, and then a cheese stick mid-morning, so I think I am making some strides? This is very frustrating, cause like I said, I KNOW better ... Karyn
