We finished reading In Defense of Food and Rick(BF) is very inspired - I thought he'd resist since he loves his rice and bread, but he's really excited about learning to cook and eat in at home. When I met him, it seemed he ate out every night. Now that he sees how easy it is to turn on the oven and roast some veggies, he's on board

I read a great diet plan last night:
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

It is hard to resist convenience foods when I've missed a meal and become ravenous. Or sometimes, I just really want a cookie. I've known forever that a plate of pasta makes me sick. But what about a little rice?

I realized that the timing of my weight gain (7lbs) coincides with a change in medication - can't believe I didn't think of this earlier, but it changed my appetite and I was a little lazy on my diet, but not 7 lbs worth! Checking with my Dr. to check back to old prescription and see if that changes anything.
