I just did an insane fat-free food run at Pathmark, And I still feel great. I do have to eat out with my parents tonight, and I'm a little nervous about that, but they've assured me our destination has plain, grilled chicken. If I don't eat out, I think I should be able to easily keep my fat intake at below 3 grams a day, and even at 3 times that I can manage without drugs or too much misery. I'm not bloated and look like myself for the first time in months.

Saw Kali last night, who was in a woeful state as behooves the end of the semster. But we talked about descensus, and the story I'm writing with her as the heroine, and watched QaF and generally made sad, pathetic noises at each other, and it was fucking lovely.

Getting there, on the other hand. there's a bus near me that goes up to 125th and then across, acept of course at 125th, the train I needed wasn't running. So i took a cab, up the west side highway, and there was baseball on teh radio, and it was really pleasant, made me think of going upstate with Michael, but instead it was the Bronx and the girl and all the trees and cliffs and dark. And I have to say I love 125th Street, it's such a mix of things. Proper manners and utter casualness, that suburban Pathmark of doom, a Citarella now (not that I'll ever be able to buy food there ever again probably), the Apollo and The Square and Trowel Ballroom (yes, really). I like it. It's got a rightness to it.

We're going for our massage on May 23, and I think we're both so excited. Those poor massage therapists have no idea the insanity they're in for, although if they're lucky, we may go non-verbal fast.

May I humbly suggest you differentiate your fats? Specifically transfats and Omega-3 fats. Maybe make sure you try to get your fats from fish and nuts and olive oil and if that works up the intake a little and see how you feel. I know how much better I feel doing that, and fat is essential to a lot of body functions so cutting it too much can mess you up in other ways. Mileage varies some according to body chemistry, of course.

*hugs* and hope you keep feeling better and better!

Well, teh fat I am getting, thus far are from things like avocados and fish, as opposed to anything in any sort of processed food, and I love fish, so I'm thinking that should help on that score? If you have an specific food suggstions for me to try, do let me know though.

Avocados are good in medium quantities. Fish, especially ocean fish, MOST especially wild salmon. Tuna and sardines are supposed to be good too though I don't like them much. A moderate amount of the Omega-3 added eggs. Walnuts, pecans, almonds. Olive oil and canola oil. Grinding up flax seeds and throwing them in oatmeal or on your cereal is good, too.

And eat lots of oatmeal and blueberries and spinach. It may not be just the fat that bothers you, but the cholesterol.

Between revising my eating habits to fix my diabetes and Ryan revising his to fix his horrible cholesterol issue, we've done an obscene amount of reading on this. The cool thing is, most of the stuff that's best for the basic human diet actually tastes good. *g*
