Torrilin - Wow. Thank you, that was very comprehensive.

I very much do the "rut" thing. I suppose I could throw some veggies in with my eggbeaters in the morning I go through cycles and nothing is ever bad but my typical eggbeater/turkey bacon breakfast followed by salad for lunch followed by whatever DH cooks for dinner (I work later than he does and dinner ranges from Bad Bad Fatty Things to semi-nutritious things like frozen pizza) isn't the best. From a calorie standpoint only, I'm probably ok but there is no variety or nutrition. It's time to rethink how I do things.

One strange thing about me is I don't really have sense of taste. I taste some things that you don't need smell for but I think maybe that's why I can eat the same things over and over.

I had to relearn a lot about smelling due to a head injury. For a while, sweat smelled like hamburgers and my stomach would growl if I smelled armpit sweat. I never said I was normal
