My head is back on right!
Jun 20, 2010
So I think it was the week away from this site and the support of others on here that led to my cheating episode yesterday. (I, at 2 days before I was supposed to start soft foods, ate a bite of potato salad and a bite of chicken; then spent the entire night stressing over whether or not I gave myself a death sentence by doing so.) After spending some time reading blogs and forum posts today I feel right again.I slipped into a weight obsessive food obsessive state of mind instead of focusing on making it through the process and following my doctor's guidelines.
Tomorrow I'll call the nutritionist, see if I can start my hair loss supplements and start soft foods for sure; then I will have salsa and scrambled egg whites for breakfast and the Delicious sounding ricotta bake recipe I got from someone on the forum last week for dinner!
Things will be fine, I do not NEED chicken just yet. I'm taking this 1 day and 1 food at a time!
Baked Ricotta
1 cup low fat ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Chopped roasted garlic
Italian seasoning
1/4 to 1/2 cup marinara
Mix everything but the marinara and place in an oven safe dish. Top with the marinara and a sprinkle of cheese and bake at 325 for about 20 minutes. Tastes like Lasagna!
