I'm back. They say the only way to fail is to stop trying and I'm not going to fail at getting healthy. This time I have a plan. First of all, I'm not jumping into the deep end right away. I'm going to start switching over to McDougall in stages - one or two meals a day to start. I also bought some digestive enzymes to make the transition easier. And I will definitely go straight to the BRAT diet (thanks, Debbie
) at the first sign of stomach trouble, although I'll have to leave out the
toast, since I'm pretty sure I have gluten problems. Maybe I can find some gluten free bread.
I'm not only back to McDougall because of health concerns, but because I watched the movie "Food, Inc." a couple of weeks ago. It was devastating. I'm ashamed to admit that I've been trying to put it out of my mind, but I can't do it. I actually started to cry in the supermarket a couple of days ago when I put a carton of eggs in my basket. (And it wasn't TOM, lol.)
I had a baked sweet potato and some blueberries for breakfast, and cheese (baby steps) for lunch. I'm baking chicken thighs for dinner but I can't bring myself to eat one. I'm going to just eat the sides - baked potato, mixed vegetables and salad.
