prairiewindmomma Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 1984 was an interesting read. It could've been so much better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'm prayerfully contemplating going whole foods/high starch/vegan (again). The McDougall diet is most likely what any naturopath here would put me on because of its proven benefit to some with RA. It's a huge lifestyle shift, though, and I don't think I could do it 100% for the rest of my life. Vegetarian maybe, but I honestly really like butter. I'm thinking of doing it in phases--vegetarian first, with an emphasis on veggies. Kind of having an existential eating crisis.... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I also had a medication change at the same time, so I don't know how much weight to give to that. I quit because the effort and expense was overwhelming. I would be going back to preparing two menus for each meal again. I do know that I need to shift back to eating a heavy % of veggies at each meal, and to cut out some of the convenience things that creeped in with the move. Frankly, I feel tired and awful a good chunk of the time, and meals are already overwhelming. I think I'm going to start by just shifting breakfast and lunch for me. The boys can spin off into making their own lunches. I'll do that for a month to let my gut flora switch over a bit and then start doing a few vegan suppers that everyone eats for a few months, and then do another shift to where I'm on my own for some suppers. Hopefully there will be enough improvement in my health by then that this is worthwhile and sustainable. I think I'm going to save up for an air fryer. The no-oils part of the McDougal diet is really important on the anti-inflammatory end, but I'm losing all of the good mouth feels. I can't do soy or coconut, so all of the good mouth feels that come from those are out the window. I can't afford to make cashew cheese or some of the other substitutes so I'm trying to find a way to still somewhat enjoy eating occasionally. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (((Prairie))) I totally get it. I would eat so much healthier if I could afford a personal chef. I can't, so I don't. People like us who should eat healthier for our health struggle to do so because of our (lack of) health. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Prairie, I would definitely ease into it and I totally know what you mean about making two meals when meal time is already overwhelming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi. I am trying to keep too many plates spinning in the air.

mama25angels Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) It's basically just a way for people to be able to use their creativity while digging into the word. You read the Bible and then you journal what that verse is saying to you using stencils, stamps, paint and stickers. There are videos on YouTube about it.

They have journaling Bibles that have a larger margin so that people can write or draw without covering the scriptures.

Paige Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Baby played with a ball in a park for his nirthday. He was happy. It was pretty low key. I let him open one present, which he loved- one of those things that pops balls in the air and we already lost a ball! He can open some more presents over the next couple of days so he's not overwhelmed. He didn't even want his cake. Or his dinner. Baby's not really into eating much of anything that doesn't come from me. We got him a little smash cake and put it in front of him to do what he wanted. It's like the most perfectly preserved smash cake ever! It looks like maybe one or two forkfuls were taken. It looks untouched from almost every angle. The older kids went to town on their first cakes. DS (17) ate fistfuls and was a bright blue faced mess. DDs 14 had eating problems but made a heck of a mess even if they didn't swallow much. DD (11) ate all her cake and 3 whole slices of pizza on her birthday. Baby is...restrained? Particular? Mainly just uninterested. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
