Fabricnut - I understand where you're coming from. I'm in the process of redoing my food plan because of health problems. I have diabetis and gastroparesis, which means I have yo stay on top of my sugar levels and eat only soft foods. With gastroparesis the stomach muscles don't work to empty your stomach so you basically have to wait for gravity to work which can take along time. If I eat meat it can take up to two days for it to empty my stomach causing all sorts of pain.
One of the girls on this thread (MJ) recommended to go to a site called MyFitnessPal.com. It's a wonderful sight - you can log all your food and exercise and it helps you keep track of your calories to. By seeing everything in black & white it has been much easier for me to stay on track while learning what new food I can eat and how they fit in my food plan.
Just hang in there and take things one day at a time. Keep in touch with people on this board and don't get down on yourself. You can do this!

It's too hot and humid to walk outside and I have to drive at least 7 miles to the nearest town. Maybe I should just buy gasoline instead of food. I need some encouragement from some of you please.
