Good thoughts up there. Lucky you not having throw up in that long, throwing up is the absolute worst! And…um…I got mono when I was 26, three years out of college. Just sayin’. I thought at first there was no way it was mono, cause that’s like a high school and college thing, right? Not always so.

All your foods look so tasty! Especially the tofu scramble and all those salads.

I’m always looking for new veggie burgers and that brand looks great. And I’m the same with peanut flour: on it’s own I find it boring and not a good replacement for PB at all but I love it in plain yogurt with chocolate syrup or vanilla yogurt

i didnt really like that brand of veggie burgers, but im glad you liked em. they were a little too wanna-be-meat-like for my liking. anyways, i think YOU are amazing, and you are sooooo inspiring for the thought provoking things you write about on a daily basis. give yourself some credit AND a huge pat on the back. you deserve it.

as for the hypothyroidism, im sorry. i can see why you freaked out knowing you would have to take synthroid for the rest of your life. at least your MD discovered it without first enduring horrible symptoms until the diagnosis, right? as an aside, maybe you would wanna get a second opinion? or get another blood draw just to double check the TSH levels? im not saying hes wrong, its just have you had any symptoms or issues that would lead you to think you have a thyroid problem? (meaning ihave you felt lethargic or passed out or anything…)

anyways, hope all is well, xxx

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My friend has the same thing and she is in nursing school with me and I could never tell the difference because she just takes meds. I understand how hard it can be on you though. Hang in there. Cooping with something like this can be hard and it takes time to figure things out. Praying for you.

Hi! Just wanted to say I enjoy reading your blog. I am from Alabama and go to Birmingham weekly to see my Dr. (and of course I stop by Whole Foods!) You are an inspiration and great model for healthy eating!

I think that you’ve come to some awesome conclusions!

Love this: “Furthermore, having a health condition is not equivalent to a failure on my part.” Definitely true I’m so glad you realized all these things!

I make a very simple (but delicious, if I do say so myself) tomato sauce by sauteeing carrots, onions, and garlic in evoo (you can season the veggies here). Then, I add Italian stewed tomatoes (although I’m sure regular old diced tomatoes are good too) and a squirt of ketchup (I love this addition). Let it bubble up and season with salt, pepper, and desired herbs (basil and oregano). I also like to blend it all together with my hand held blender.
