Thank you Dr Lewis!

I appreciate your input.

I’ll wait at least a month into stabilization in maintenance to go for a lab test.

One foot in front of the other until then!

Hi again old thread!

Questions for Dr Lewis:

When is the right time for me to have my thyroid medicine updated? I’ve had a thyroidectomy (post thyroid papillary cancer) and my thyroid medicine is at a certain dose. Should I go have a check-up to see if the dose needs lowering, now that my body mass is smaller? Should I wait for a few weeks past…[Read more]

Wonderfully done! It’s interesting to notice all these changes in out thinking and behaviour. Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations!

Congratulations! A new week to work through – we know how to do this!

Nicely done JulieNom!

Congratulations on feeling free of food noise!

I’ve tossed out the bread that I had saved in the freezer. I wanted the space for other more beloved food items!

I had actually made up my mind not to buy more food until I’ve finished what I have, and then I saw a bunch of yummy French quiche pies when I was out and about, and I went ahead and bought more food…[Read more]

I like this JulieNom! It’s a new time for us.

A time of plenty, and of having a stash and not eating it all automatically.

Our stomachs and brains and other organs are thanking us!

Well done JulieNom!

Hi JulieNom!

I wonder if this could be a hoarding response to being on the diet, wanting to make sure that I have food. Somehow it soothes me to save the food for later.  I appreciate the variety of food that I have available. I watched the survival series “Alone” a year ago and there was one participant who hoarded his food, he dried the meat…[Read more]

I forgot to write: when I re-heat the food, it shrinks a little, which affords me to add a splash of sauce and still stay withing the 1 teaspoon volume.
