You are a good person and you are doing good work. Don't forget to be good to yourself.

Note to self: Always read "newbie" related stuff first. Those posts at the top are awesome! Note to others - I'm still happy to hear what you all have to say since the "newbie" post is just from one person. Thanks for everyone who replies so diligently!

I second the smoothie idea. And throw in the possibility of frozen veggies - they tend to have fewer preservatives than canned. There are also the recipes for baked things using pureed veggies - Jerry Seinfeld's wife wrote a cookbook. I'm sure there are others too.

Would you please explain more about gaining weight if I eat under 1200 calories a day?
