Good for you, ! I have heard it many times that " you crave what

you are addicted to and should not be eating. " Boy, has that been

true for me! Before I went to see Dr. R. and get on the diet, I

almost put myself in a coma - could not stop having ice cream,

cookies, junk food, all the time. I was really in a bad slide. Very

tired, very depressed, just stayed in a haze and could not move. I

have to stay totally away from that stuff now, so as not to trigger

another addictive wave. But the more distance I put between that

stuff and my new eating behavior, the less I want any part of it. As

Oprah said, " nothing tastes as good as this feels. "

The best to you in your quest!

PS - if you need care packages from Whole Foods, let me know and I

can probably get items for you and send them. Or, I wonder if you

can order from them on line?

Thank you Sara,

You are so generous and awesome! I was actually surprised at the

amount of things in that aisle and I think other grocery stores

might have more variety. And I can order quite a bit online, if I

don't mind paying postage and handling, which I do, but we'll see

how it goes. Right now I'm having a pepsi every other day and

trying my best with everything else. Last night we had to take the

car in to have the battery replaced and had no time to do anything

but order pizza. Argh! Felt miserable ... and I do seem to be

having sugar cravings. I guess that's possible?

:-)

That is odd! It's kind of analogous (sp?) to women who are

attracted to men who aren't good for them.? Gosh I would love to

see a good allergist and find out exactly which foods I'm

allergic/sensitive to. Wouldn't that be interesting?

I tried an organic cereal this morning and felt shaky and weak all

morning. Maybe something in that, or maybe just not enough

protein? So hard to figure out. Have a great weekend, Courtenay!

OMG, I think you've cracked the code! That's what's wrong with me!

It's not thyroid or antibodies or adrenal or anything like it...I've

just got this uncontrollable attraction to men and foods that just

aren't good for me! I should have known...I have a pretty crappy

track record with both!!! Now, how do I get this under control???

Hehe, thanks ...today was my crash day and I really needed

someone to remind me how to laugh at myself and keep going!

One of the easiest ways to determine food allergies in yourself is to

use the Coca Pulse Test. First off, learn your basic pulse rate

(when you're feeling good and you haven't eaten anything you suspect

you're allergic to). Then consume a single food (milk only, wheat

only, etc). At 15, 30, and 45 minutes after, take your pulse. If it

is raised more than 10 points, it indicates an allergy to that food.

In some ways, this is probably accurate with people, too. If someone

raises my pulse I surely don't want to be around him/her! LOL

Anytime, Niki! Although, I sometimes think no men are good for us!

And very little food, lol! ;-) And on Valentine's Day too!

Thanks, !

I will try it! Actually, my last boss caused fast pulse AND chest

pains. Yikes!
