That's dangerous. If someone did that with shellfish, they could kill me. I am so so sorry that you are feeling bad.
I felt like I was going to die (cue the melodrama). It was agony. I am not going to lie...
I feel like that when I get food cross contaminated with gluten. I feel you. Shellfish is another feeling all together. The throat closing and audible whistle of your breath is frightening in a whole different way. (thank God for epinephrine)0 -
Okay....this is a hard one for me, but I'm going to put it out there. It took me 39 years to learn that my husband really does love me at any weight. From the day we married, I gained about 10 pounds every couple of years. I think somehow I was sabotaging myself all these years to prove it to myself that I was worthy of love. When I realized he wasn't going anywhere, the light bulb went off.
Good for you! (and him) my husband LOVES me at any weight; we have MORE FUN now that we are both working at improving our health.0 -
So funny not funny story from Easter. I took my Mom and her boyfriend out for brunch and we went to this spa/hotel/restaurant we always go to. But its under new managment (I think just the restaurant portion) and the food was so/so, service not great, etc. But in the space of 20 minutes 2 separate people choked. The first person, she was elderly, was coughing (so not totally choking but bad) and they did the Heimleich (sp?) on her and all I kept thinking was please don't break her ribs (very fragile looking) then the paramedics, etc. came. Table next to us.
Then 2 tables down this heavy set boy also starts choking/gagging. They all rush over to him. The mother is sitting there and screaming in her Staten Island accent voice (how does that accent come through in a scream?) and doing nothing. And I just lost it. I started laughing so hard...
He and the lady were fine. But seriously, how much worse could that dinner have gotten? They should have comped us all our meals.0 -

Not sure if I have any allergies, but I know my gallbladder acts up from time to time.0 -
So, today I discovered that the coffee at my work is nasty and that if you don't drink coffee during Lent, you will forget to log it first thing in the morning like you have done for 2.5 years.0

Haha!
I forgot how good pepper tasted on things! Esp steak, eggs and salad!
I use a TON of pepper.....if we get take out for lunch, I get everyone's pepper packets, and when I get like a sub or something, I always tell them "Put enough pepper on until you think you have put on too much, then put on a little more and we are good".
My food has tasted wonderful the last two days lol.0 -
Hi! I'm reading but no time for a real post here. Good luck Patricia!!!0

It's a bad day in the restraint business when people keep trying to die on your food.0 -

I can sympathize with that one.0 -

That is what we said to the waiter.... we wanted to get out of there before we choked!0 -

Glen is trying to give up coffee after we read a book on sleep during our drive over the weekend.
I fear I would soon be jobless if I tried it.

I gave up wheat for a month a year ago January. I had amazing results, I felt great, lost a LOT of weight and didn't really miss it by the end. I still don't eat pasta. Pizza, on the other hand, I greatly missed. I need to make it an occasional treat instead of having it weekly like I have been lately.0 -
