Dawn, way to go on the 2 pounds! Isn't it weird that you ate 500 calories more than usual yesterday, and today you're down 2 pounds? And I ate about 600 calories more than usual yesterday, and today I'm feeling lean and mean (and looking it, too)? Hmmmmmm.

Songberrie, the pasta and carbs do cause all the bloating. Back when I was eating high-carb/low-fat, I'd get major bloating every single day. I'd put on a skirt or a pair of slacks in the morning, and they'd fit fine. Then, after lunch (typically a bagel or pasta or something), I was so bloated if I unzipped, I'd never be able to re-zip! What a horrible feeling that is!

Also, berries are the "best," but you might want to go easy on them for a while. Try to get your carbs from veggies, with an occasional treat of fruit thrown in. Like whipped cream? Maybe a couple times a week, put some whipped cream over 1/2 cup of berries for dessert. Let the others have ice cream "under" their whipped cream, if they like.

Acipenser, WAKE UP!

Kat, what can I say? You ate tons and tons of ice cream, and today you're down 3 pounds. Isn't that one of the first signs of the Amageddon?

Ok, I wasn't even thinking about berries, yum.

I agree, Songberrie! I much rather have a bowlful of strawberries or raspberries or blackberries than an apple any day!

But, how could you have forgotten about berries, SongBERRIE?
What does your user name refer to, anyway?

Oh gosh, you got me there! Did I tell you that I'm blonde? lol I really am! Yup, you're right, Song is because I love to sing and berrie is because I love strawberries, I guess I was just having a mental block! Gosh, how embarrasing! lol I bought some strawberries while I was out today, and some whipping cream.

Sorry I have been MIA, it has been a very busy week. I am feeling better except for TOM issues. I talked to the doctor yesterday and he said I could either keep taking the pills skipping the placebos and go straight to the next pack or come in for a D&C. I am going to give the pills a shot but if the bleeding continues or worsens then I will need to go sooner. I am thinking the D&C is inevitable. My appetite has been up but I think it is due to my body thinking it is time for TOM. I have kept it legal but probably too high in carbs. Ate some fruit today, melon and strawberries. I keep pulling strawberries out the fridge and dipping them in whipped cream...YUM! I did an 1 hour of yoga last night and just got back from a cardio workout.
