Not new, just returning. Need accountability.

Hi everyone! I joined MFP some time back in the Summer of 2010, recorded for a while, slacked off due to my schedule, started back up again and did relatively well but then slacked off again. So.... Third times a charm?? Here's hoping, because between my busy schedule and plain old stress, I gained back all I had lost before and then some. I could use some support to help keep me recording my foods.

I'm hoping (but not expecting) for my schedule/workload to be lighter this coming semester. At least my upcoming schedule is around "normal" meal times, rather than running right through them. Depending on what the workload will be like, the schedule potentially allows time for me to be able to go on walks, and get back into a regular exercise routine.

I don't eat horribly, for the most part, but unless I stuff myself to misery or just eat crappy junk, I rarely am able to reach my minimum caloric intake. I'm a vegetarian, so the majority of what I eat is naturally filling and lower in calories than the average. I've been having digestive problems, which mostly I can chalk up to lactose intolerance. I drink Almond Milk or Soy Milk in place of regular milk to reduce the problem but I've got a horrible addiction to cheeses, which I'm trying to reduce. I still have digestive problems, but since I haven't been recording for so long I don't know how much of it can be blamed on the cheeses or if there is some other problem, like a possible Wheat or Gluten sensitivity. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for the beginning of February and I have a list of problems to address. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out what the deal is. (Grossness warning stated as cleanly as possible), I need to figure out why I'm continuing to gain when nearly everything I eat is rapidly eliminated from my system.

Thanks for reading this far, sorry I rattled on.
Feel free to add me if you wish.
It'd be nice if I could find someone in my area to keep each other on track.

Thanks!
