I am not so sure about this thread......why do I feel hungry every time I read it !!!!!
OK, I always take my Synthroid ( Hashimoto's/ hypothyroidism ) when I first have to use the "little girl's room " in the morning, usually 6am. There have been so many different answers given to me, by Md's and pharmacists.....I finally decided to just isolate that sucker, so I would never take other meds or food or vitamins, too close to it, that will interfere with it's absorption. So I guess, that is my pre-breakfast snack.
I had a sm. bowl oatmeal with raisins in it, 1 sm. bananas and a glass of 2% milk, for breakfast, about 10 am. Then 9 gobstoppers around 11 pm, for a sugar high ( only 60 cal.) When I was told I would need OHS, my stess eating went sky high, I began eating KING size Hersey's chocolate bars with almonds daily ( approx. 840 cal.) , usually washed down by a 20 oz. pepsi. Since I am not in an intimate relationship, to use sex to release endorphins, my logical mind turned to chocolate ( it pales by comparison to sex, has alot more calories, but a gal's gotta do, what a gal's gotta do) ) The release of endorphins upon ingestion of chocolate likely explains the comforting feelings that many people associate with this food and the craving for chocolate in times of stress. And I did feel alot calmer.... TILL I got on the scale, taking note of the fact, it was adding to the weight gain, I had received as my reward for hypothyroidism.....so, trying to stick with good ole gobstoppers.
Lunch was cottage cheese , red and green grapes, and 4 strawberries. Oh, and a bottle of water . Around 3:30 pm I ate 4 carrots and 2 pieces of celery with peanut butter on them... then for dinner a mixed spring greens salad, spinach, 4 thin slices of steak ( needed to use up from last nights left overs from the Red Lobster dinner, for my daughter, turning 26, March 8th) topped with a combo of ranch/french dressing. More water..was able to keep the "Pepsi Devil" at bay today... I swear I hear a pepsi bottle whispering in my ear " Drink me, NOW !!!
This evening when I watched TV, I ate a snack bag of Snyder's mini pretzels ( 50 cal.) and fantasized it was a chocolate bar..the craving was there, so I knelt and prayed..please God remove these Devil induced cravings from my soul, AMEN ! I just know, the Devil wants me to be so fat, I won't look cute with my new "Zipper" chest design, that is fast becoming the rage of the fashion world !!!!
I eat boring compared to all of you...............so think I will fix grilled Parmesan halibut or Spinach and Bacon Quiche tomorrow for dinner, to kick it up a notch !!!
Good Eats to all !!!!
