Yeah...they need to put me on T-3 or T-4 hormones.....but I need to have more blood work early part of the week for them to decide.....I was wondering anything besides medicine.....although I realize I need drugs to fix it.....I just want to assist it naturally as well

Oh I was worse than both of you guys.... I started out allright with wheat fiber toast for breakfast Then I went to the doctor who told me I have a thyroid problem...I suppose this set me off Lunch was a half a ham and cheese on wheat, a bowl of clam chowder and still cant believe it but a slice of boysenberry pie with some half and half on top.....wont do that again now that I know its 800 and something calories Dinner Armenian roasted chicken ( delicious ) hummus, 2 pitas and a 100 grand candy bar to finish it off On the bright side I just went to Trader Joes and stocked up on all kinds of healthy snacks and foods.....so I will make up for today tomorrow
Foods	Soda... Support for addicts... Step 1, admitting the problem exists	Mar 30 2007 08:36 (UTC)	45
Im a Diet Coke addict....and I mean addict I usually drink about 10 to 12 a day.... In my late teens I gave up Coca Cola Classic and lost 11 pounds in one week But I cant give up the soda...now its Caffeine Free Diet Coke I dont like water....I have trouble finishing a glass Im 31 now....but as a child our fridge was always loaded with soda.....and my Mom never stopped me or my Brother from consuming it....so I've had a lifelong battle.....other than Diet Coke I drink green tea and Crystal light, but not often, usually a can of diet Coke is at my side at all times
Foods	"Chinese Food"	Mar 30 2007 02:34 (UTC)	13
I eat the real Chinese stuff...I love athentic foods...so if I go to a Chinese restuarant I want atleast 80% of the customers to be Chinese....then I eat funky stuff that scares most of my friends to death...I love dim sum...which some of you may think are the pork buns....but dim sum is actually a whole dining experience of small dishes, and rarely do I eat the pork buns...I prefer shrimp wrapped in rice paper, spare ribs in bean, and chickens feet...these are all tiny dishes, only a few bites...but I like to have a mixture I do the same for Thai or Japanese food....but then I used to live in Asia, and have never been impressed with Westernized Asian foods...full of sugar and oil
Foods	what does everyone else put on toast?	Mar 30 2007 02:05 (UTC)	10
vegemite or rasberry jam and butter. If it doesnt taste good then why bother. Make it taste good and enjoy the bites you get, so eat less of the good stuff
Foods	What did YOU eat today?	Mar 30 2007 02:00 (UTC)	3,916
I would starve to death if I ate some of what was listed above....Today I was bad I had special K with 2% milk lunch/ beef with black bean, spicy shrimp, and fish with spicy bean, a side of steamed rice.. I also had a mini 100 grand chocolate bar dinner might be some hummus and pitas, or a lean cuisine pizza I prefer to eat bigger meals at lunch time Oh and I always have my faithful Diet Coke at my side

Foods	What are some Very VERY VERY Low Calorie Snacks???	Mar 27 2007 08:07 (UTC)	148
I take slices of Healthy Choice Honey Ham or Roast Turkey....then I spread a thin layer of French Onion Dip, and I roll them....I usually have 5 rolls or so....the Ham is about 45 calories for 5 pieces, and the dip is about 50 to 60 calories for a tablespoon, but a teaspoon is plenty to spread with.....lots of flavor... I also use onion dip in my deviled eggs, just take 1 or 2 hard boiled eggs, empty out the yolks, mash the yolks with a teaspoon of onion dip a little bit of chives, and throw them back in.....its not as low calorie as munching on cucumber but it helps to satisfy.... I use a melon baller on my cantalope, place all the balls in a ziplock bag, throw them in the freezer, and munch them when I need a sweet snack.... I drink chicken broth or miso soup I make salad dressing with rice vinegar and splenda....just a touch of sesame oil or chili oil.......and I dip tasteless vegetables in it I throw chicken in a pot or slow cooker....cook it till its soft, then cover it in Buffalo wing sauce and trick myself into thinking Im eating Buffalo wings.... I prefer salty tastes as you can tell....
