Hey Nat,

I will def check out your eating habbits.
I so wish I could eat salads and things now. The funny thing is, I don't even KNOW how my stomach would react to them now because it's my THROAT that reacts first... Like, I don't have time to see how tummy would do with them 'cause it gets stopped in bad throat reaction after a couple of bites and I have to stop eating for like a whole day.
I have seen three doctors and a nutritionist about it, and the docs say reflux (which the meds I am taking don't do anything for), the nutritionist says allergies (but I can't figure out what it is because it happens to almost everything). So confusing! I think if I could figure THAT out, then I could more easily find a way to make tummy happy (by just figuring out what balances I need), I could lose weight a lot easier.

And I totally know what you mean about cutting back on sugar and then not wanting it anymore. When I was in England and I got super, super sick I finally just gave up on all the bad stuff I was eating. It wasn't even that hard when I started because I was so so sick. After a while, my chocolate cravings were pretty much gone, I never wanted ice cream and stuff, and I never, ever craved chips or anything. Once I started feeling better, though, and slowly would let myself have little bits, and then more and more... Oy! But I let myself get that way again, for a while it didn't interest me at all.
Of course, then I was 127 lbs and thought I looked pretty darn good! Hee hee. Now I'm 165 and don't wanna leave the house!

Cheers,
Steph
