FOOD and EATING healthily with MS
The problem with any food plan, diet, or eating schedule is that you are always thinking about the one thing you don’t want to think about: FOOD.
Today is day three of my nutritionist-planned meal plan and continues to be interesting. After a breakfast of four slices of turkey bacon and peach, I am kind of hungry.
After two cups of coffee and a full glass of water, my mouth is watering at the thought of snack time, which is two hours away. Doing my best NOT to think about food, that’s all I can think of. It doesn’t help that I don’t really care for eggs and my snack is a boiled egg. I’ve already figured out that salt is the mainstay of taste. As a fruit lover, I am becoming disgusted with the thought of my next apple, though.
Okay, I think I am experiencing salt and sugar withdrawal. I NEED nuts and chocolate.
I have discovered the art of creatively substituting fruits and vegetables to make my daily menus work while remaining on track. I will discover tomorrow if that kept me honest when I weigh-in for the first time. Keep your fingers crossed.
It’s time to make a smoothie,
