Monday - and back to the menu!

After a week of ranting - and not planning or recording my meals - I climbed on the scales this morning and discovered I'm now only 2lb below stall-weight! I've kept my carbs really low, but haven't bothered too much about other things, so it's back to the menu and planning for me!

Despite being assured by the hospital that I am not allergic to anything after a lifetime of believing I am, I suddenly started with a - well, I suppose it's a hypersensitivity if not an allergy - last Saturday! I have been eating cashew nuts for the last few weeks, and I may have had a few too many, because my lips suddenly swelled, and I've now got some sore patches in my mouth. I can't even drink tea at the moment! The doc told me to come off everything that I had always been told I was allergic to - which includes nuts! - and see what happens. Oh, and to take antihistamine tablets as well. So, my diet has become rather more restricted again!
