I'm trying really, really hard to avoid high fructose corn syrup.
I have found that's a help in not buying empty calories, because somehow it's easier for me to think "I'm not buying that because of HFC" than "I'm not buying that because I'll eat it all." Generally I'm a pretty healthy eater, although I can also overdo the portions. Also, there's beer. I am not aided by a lifetime of dieting, since I now have the metabolism of a tranquilized tree sloth.
Seriously. I'm not sure who pisses me off more: the district or the union.
I think that every single day...

I'm telling that to my Doc at my next appointment.

Ahahah. Yes, me too. Actually, I know it'd be better if I just ate more, and more frequently (as backwards as that sounds.) I mean, I ate 3 whole meals a day, including heart-attack-with-a-kick cheese rellenos, cheesy enchiladas, chile cheesburgers, cranberry-nut "bread" (really, more cakey, ) banana bread, cheesecake, assorted adulterated nuts, chorizo, egg and cheese burritos, tamales, ham and lots of wine for about a week....and I dropped 5 lbs.
But that's...work and effort in my day-to-day.
And now I really want a genuine NM relleno. Damnit.
I'm edging back to Wanting To Die land
How long have you had the cold, Shrift? Having very recently recovered from the Death Cold I can promise that it does end.

Me too. Now I need to get into the habit of eating healthy stuff instead of eating nothing until late in the day when I'm starving and headachey. Which reminds me... I have no food in my home. I should hit the grocery store today.
I should be going to the library and the grocery store.
a genuine NM relleno
yummm...I haven't had that is what seems like ages. They are amazing.
I used to have an awesome metabolism. I could eat anything! Large pizza? Get in my belly! Beer? Yes, please! Fried cheese? NOM NOM NOM.
Then my metabolism crashed and burned sometime after 25, and I'm still trying to figure out how to eat so that I don't gain weight just by
thinking
about chocolate.
It was like I woke up one morning and my metabolism had decided to quit. Now I have to take 2 meds daily for hypothyroidism and they don't seem to help.
