Re: problems with meat, etc

[Guest guest]

,

You are frankly scaring me! Are you inside my head?

This is how I have been feeling lately. Maybe it is just a phase? I'm 2

yrs out as well. Last few days..I've had nothing but protein shakes and

some veggies and a bite of real food (force fed) trying to get the calories

in because I don't want to starve myself for sure. Texture is a real big

thing to me. I just don't look forward to feeling a " thud " some days so I

turn to a shake. Maybe it could be the psychological feeling of how

terrible some of us are at holidays and you are protecting against that? I

have thought about that for me. From what I've seen on this list though,

I've noticed ppl's taste changing in phases. So I accept it as that for

now. As for relying on protein shakes, I wouldn't think something like that

would hurt you short term anyway (if this is just a phase). Maybe the more

knowledgeable ppl will be able to speak for long term effects of relying on

them. I pretty much suscribe to....do you feel good? energetic? you doing

the right vites, protein, and water and stuff? Then it prolly can't be

hurting us too bad. Our bodies are such great barometers and have a great

feedback mechanism when they are not happy for the most part...it's just

unfortunate that some of it still is a mystery..to me anyway..yet so

fascinating to what is out there that is known. My mother had this

operation and she would look at me funny if I mentioned this stuff. She has

no issues with her diet and doesn't feel the uncomfortableness (is that even

a word?) that I do at times with texture.

I can recall wayyy back when I was a teen watching every pound and I went to

see my aunt one holiday and I gained 10 lbs in one week..she loved to cook

and I loved to eat. I was so distraught that the next year I came up with

an excuse not to go cause I was so scared to gain...I loved her to

death.....so you know I had to be just flat scared of weight gain and

goodies at her house that I'd lose control.

So if you are weird, I'm wierd right with you hehe.

Most of this week, I didn't want food. Had to wrack my brain to get enough

in to take my vites.

TODAY, I could eat non-stop, if I could. And I'm not a grazer.

Weird.

I certainly depend on shakes for my protein. I don't absorb enough to count,

even if it DID count. And then, I don't like much of it in the first place,

AND I'm kinda iffy on what I DO like.

I could do all veggies if I didn't feel kinda guilty about it.
