I also went to the UPenn Center for Weight loss and Eating Disorders which provided nutritional counseling and psychotherapy. I'm just going to have to keep exerimenting with what I eat...and how I handle my disappointments...Lovebug6100https://www.blogger.com/profile/00487818142891851511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238486842498982260.post-44752545941232285872008-03-20T12:08:00.000-07:002008-03-20T12:08:00.000-07:00I was thinking less about calorie counts and more ...I was thinking less about calorie counts and more about figuring out the balance you were hoping to find -- like cutting out certain carbs, or whether or not cutting out the dairy was helping. I know each of us process certain types of foods differently, so I thought maybe it would help to have a "neutral party" consider how different kinds of foods help or hinder your unique self. I remember you saying you were working with your doctor already, but I was thinking more along the lines that a general practitioner knows a little about a lot, but a specialist would know a lot about what you mentioned in this post.~**Dawn**~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06179560051128719637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238486842498982260.post-60702623022250589862008-03-20T12:00:00.000-07:002008-03-20T12:00:00.000-07:00I actually share an office with a dietician and I'...I actually share an office with a dietician and I've done enough dieting and research plus my mom has food issues to know the calorie content of nearly everything....I've even gone so far as to have someone do my meal planning but my body doesn't always help. I am being followed by an MD now and taking some medication but I'm not quite consistent yet...I'll keep trying though!Lovebug6100https://www.blogger.com/profile/00487818142891851511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238486842498982260.post-1881097432706477992008-03-20T10:28:00.000-07:002008-03-20T10:28:00.000-07:00Do not give in!
