Thanks ladies! Umpa, yes my food list is pretty darn small...I think that's what makes it so hard, and I hate tofu...I gag on the stuff. I have a strong gag reflex...probably all in the brain. You're right Umpa, I take care of a lot of people and a lot of kiddos. I feel exhausted, well because I am...but when you don't get more than about 4-5 hours of sleep (broken sleep due to a fussy toddler) then I'm sure no matter what I eat I'd be down right exhausted. The good thing Umpa is that I find out about new foods and ideas here every week...I know the possibilities with veggies alone are endless...just gotta get the ole thinker going. Like cauli-rice...whoda thunkit? Gettin full isn't typically an issue, it's eating before my gut thinks it's starving...ShihTzuMom1...I've never heard of chia seeds! That sounds interesting...I will add that to my list of food items to look into! I've discovered nuts and I are good friends...like almonds, they go a long way and so does the almond milk. It helps tie me over when I can't eat right away.
Umpa, right again, five years ago or more like 7 is when I gained almost 100 pounds in a year to a year and half for no known reason...it's like my body betrayed itself. I ate lots of cheese, and pasta and starches that now a days would tear me up and bloat up my stomach. that's a good reminder, those carbs hurt my digestive system...really bloated me up...I coulda flown us all for free round trip to anywhere in the U.S. off of my gut
and that's funny about standing on your head...maybe it will give me an extra, say lift
Also, even though my food list is limited, I think about Moses in the desert for all those years and they lived off of manna and water, and John the Baptist lived off of honey and locusts...so...I'm sure I can make it
