It is the good attitude that will keep you going. That and all the great suggestions from this list. I sure do appreciate all of them.

If its only for one only use one head of lettuce and less other stuff. I hate making salads, so this saves me some trouble. Just have to make sure you eat it quick enough. You can add other stuff to it as desired. Jeanie >> Thanks Jeanie, Good idea about the salad. Dressing is the hard part. Terry >> I agree. I LOVE all kinds of vinegar. I miss that flavor terribly. But lemon does help, and lime sometimes. I am going to try a little grapefruit juice and also some pineapple juice with other spices. Garlic and ginger should be good. A bit of tomato juice may be just the ticket occasionally. I have taken some good olive oil and frozen it in ice cube trays. Then popped them out and sealed in a zip lock bag and tossed it back in the freezer. Just a cube in a small bowl and then whatever I am adding for flavor, depending on the rest of the meal. It takes just a while to thaw and if the taste is not wonderful, then it goes into the soup or if it is really bad, then in the trash. But there is so little that I often use it as a base for something else the next day. Try it. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't writing to me specifically, but I sure enjoyed reading your post to Terry. I am an O that is 59 years old, have eaten badly most of my life (without knowing it), was always thin because I didn't eat properly, and am now suffering for it. I have arthritic symptoms, am slightly overweight and soft, not much energy, etc., etc. I now know what I should do, and am trying to do it. Because I work in an office (8 hours) and drive (2 hours) it is quite difficult for me to shop for and keep in the house and prepare the foods I should be eating. Exercise is hard to fit in my schedule, too. Of course, I need all the encouragement I can get. Thanks for it! Carol >> Glad I was able to help. You are a little older than I am, but I am fighting terrible weight problems, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. At least you are thin! LOL Those of you out there that are young and just want to feel better, stick with it. I sure wish I had this information when I was in my 20's. My life would be so much better today. But I am where I am and doing my best to get where I want to be. If we stick together and encourage each other we will all do well.

About the pinto beas and red beans in Mexican food, it's not the beans that will make you feel bad, it's the corn tortillas or the flour tortillas. BK >> Also the cheese! Darn it. But pinto beans are great plain or refried when you are hungry for beans. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 1999 Report Share Posted October 30, 1999 Oops - I better get my thyroid checked. Haven't been taking my pills for it for a while - not consistently - and I have had all those symptoms. Being in AK sure helps with the cold hands and feet - but its been worse than it should be. Thanks for reminding me of the symptoms. I've even had the cold sweats. Better straighten up.
