T minus 3 days until I start my low iodine diet. So since I have a day off (which is a rarity anymore) I'm going to venture out to the grocery store, 3 kids in tow. Joy oh joy.
I think I have focused more on what my last meal is going to be pre diet, more that what I am going to be eating on this diet. Something salty, maybe loaded in cheese as I think I will miss that the most. Oh glorious gooey cheese.
Finally last night I did look up the low iodine cookbook on thyca's website. It is seriously 123 pages long! I just don't know if I am feeling frisky enough to actually make these recipes. It's not that I don't like to cook but with working my a** off trying to get this FMLA that I'm not fully confident I will get I just don't have the time to cook these fully involved recipes. Secondly I have to factor in my gluten intolerance which then limits my diet even further :/ and I feel like I have to cook a separate meal for my family.
Despite all of this, I did manage to make a small pitiful shopping list, mostly of snack foods. I mean I don't want to eat mashed potatoes made with water. Blah!
I figure I have two options, I can either starve or, I can eat as much food as I can for these next couple of days and then hibernate kind of like a bear and just live off of my fat, I mean I have enough, waking only to go to work and to travel to doctors appointments. I imagine I will be very happy on the scale at the end of this diet. Wish me me luck in my shopping adventures!
