I don't know what to eat!! Plus....I am trying to calm myself and rest but I am in a bit of a bursting mood so there is a possibility I'm fixating on what to eat next, which is very strange because I do that when I'm taking the down-ride to depression. Maybe I should just stick to vegetables, rice and fruit and spend the day watching films...

I def agree that foods affect your moods...I know when I really watch what I eat and eat healthy, boring stuff (lol) that I feel better inside and out....and when I eat like crap, I usually end up feeling like crap inside and out (sluggish, poop alot more, headaches, more tired)....and its so hard to eat good because alot of these meds make you crave bad stuff (mine make me crave SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR I LOVE SUGAR LOL!!! Im also wondering about the beef thing myself...I shy away from it most of the time and I wonder since they give so many steroids to the animals and all of those growth hormones and what nots, that if they affect us when we eat it? We should all band together and try a vegetarian or some type of diet experiment for a week and see what happens....lol Salad Support Group
