How's this for a pity party?

Did that salmon look anything like this ?

Thankfully, no! People eat stuff that looks like that? blech.

Thanks again, ladies (and Mr.), as usual, you are all so supportive and encouraging!

The meal was good, but seemed incomplete. I suppose the worst moments were when the girl who organized the lunch said "can you eat anything here? I guess I should have asked you" and then, later, when my meal was served she observed "that is a bit sparse, isn't it?"

I suppose I had other options, but all of them included no sauce and no bread, and no salad (raw veggies are still problematic), if I wanted to be as pure as possible.

And I find it difficult because I think that the servers in the restaurants just think I'm on some nutty diet, because it's not just one thing. I would never eat this carefully if I didn't need to!!

Luckily, I have little trouble avoiding the donuts. And the next big meeting where lunch is coming in, I am organizing - and I found a source of spelt pizza for the three of us in the group to have (if my boss approves of it) - and the rest of the group can have nasty pizza .

After all of my efforts today to go to my RMT "clean", I had the wrong time in my calendar, and missed the appointment. Some days I swear I am just losin' it!

Thanks to posting right away, and knowing you were all there, the pity party passed post haste! I'm feeling okay now, and just trying to decide if a ride to work tomorrow is the right thing to do.

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

(((LBTC))) you have every right to feel a little sorry for yourself. Now flush the pity pot as my mom says and be thankful you can manage you disease without surgery. I cna only imagine that trying to keep yourself healthy by watching every bite you take can be unnerving. I know how hard it is to have an illness others want to understand but can't. So chin up, we understand (or try to).

I'll join your pity party. You're totally allowed to have one. I personally and impressed with your dedication to your food restrictions. I have a terrible time with mine. I often get sooooooo hungry from training that I will eat whatever is available. Usually I'm miserable later. The worst is pizza. I love it. But pizza dough seems to be one of the things that hits my gut the hardest.

I often want to cry when I see DH having a big old slice of sourdough bread fresh fromthe bakery. I miss bread.

I feel for you.
