Thank you, Carol. I just finished another nap. Feeding the dogs was interesting. Too bad Lily and Moira can't serve themselves.
Bluteddi, if you really need food to take your meds, a quarter of a sandwich might be enough. No one wants you to cut out food, just cut down.
IMO, carbonated beverages, sugared or sugar free are not food. One of the kindest you can do for your body is to give those up. Sugar is 50% high fructose corn syrup and chemical sugars are toxic. You'll not flatten your stomach ingesting either one of those. Sucrose is the only 'good' sugar. That being said, I'm sure the cookies I bought yesterday have regular sugar in them. I was addicted to one 12 or 16 ounce bottle of Coke a day. I had my last one the day I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 1994.
