Incredible. My sister has MS and this gives me so much hope. I hope your health continues to improve. ❤️

Also, I've decided to stick to the diet as much as possible and track my calories. The worst part about this diet isn't even not eating meat. It's dealing with people who "disagree" with my diet and want to argue about it. I have incorrect information flying at me from all sides. If anyone is curious as to what my diet is…

Ok, my nutritionist DOES endorse not eating meat or dairy. Which is vegan. But he also says if we cheat every once in a while it's not going to hurt us. Basically he doesn't like to use to word vegan because it doesn't include everything that I'm trying to cut out. For example if I try to tell someone I'm vegan they…

Also, I am not whining. If you think I am, kindly *kitten* off. What started the fight was me texting him jokingly hey, I did something bad he's like what? I said I ate a cup noodle. And he flipped. In our relationship, we always tell each other when we do something "bad" jokingly (for example, buying a bunch of video…

I have! And it worked, but my skin was changing color. Very odd. My dermatologist was stumped. So we just decided it wasn't for me.

This is exactly the conversation we ended up having last night and your husband sounds EXACTLY like mine! I was explaining to him how unsustainable this diet is, and he disagrees. But whatever. Also, I would like everyone to note that I did NOT force him into this at all. I just told him that I had a meeting with a…

This is how I know I have a problem. My husband and I just had it out and all I wanna do is go get tacos. Because that will fix it. :| :| :|

I can and will lose weight. I have lost 12 lbs already and I'm really proud of that. I understand why my husband thinks I'm going to fail, he's heard it many times before. I think I've made at least 4 solid attempts at losing weight in the 7 years we've been together. I never lasted more than a two weeks on any diet before…

My PCP actually only referred me to the PA because I asked her to, haha.

allaboutthecake, Yes, I am right at 50% BMI. HOWEVER, my blood work is perfect. I am not even close to diabetic. My cholesterol is normal. I am not even deficient in any nutrients (shockingly, my diet was abhorrent). I am on this diet because it is supposed to help my skin. I have moderate plaque psoriasis (that's what the…

I don't feel like being mostly vegan is out of the question for us. But let's refocus, I'm happy with my PA. It's my husband that's getting on my nerves. On the flip side, if I'm disappointed in myself for something NOT diet related, he tells me I'm too hard on myself and that I'm doing really well, etc. for example, I…

Sorry, let me clarify. He's a PA, so just a step down from MD. He's not some quack at a gym somewhere. I was referred to him by my PCP. And yes, unfortunately my husband does have an "all or nothing" mentality. Drives me insane in times like these. Even the nutritionist said we don't have to cut out meat and dairy…
