When I retired just over 4 years ago I made a commitment to getting
back into shape and losing some weight. I cut out snacking and
started getting a lot more exercise. I joined the Y and started an
exercise regime and an started bicycling. Rather than go on a diet
and lose a lot of weight only to gain it back with interest, my goal
was for a slow and steady loss. So far I have dropped 25 pounds.

Well dang. Someone tell me how to gain weight, please? I need to
up about 10 pounds. My diet requirements: no meat, no dairy (well,
low in lactose), low carbs, no omega 3's, as little iron as
possible, no nuts.

I'm eating more than I ever have in my life and I just keep losing
weight. Sigh.

I think the problem is that your dietary requirements have excluded
one important thing - food.

Well after over 2 years of testing, the doctors have concluded that I'm
allergic to a *lot* of foods. I finally feel a little better since I've
completely changed my diet to low-carb vegetarian. I've been sick from
eating since I was a little kid and I never knew why. (My mom thought it
was all in my head.) I actually ended up being severely anorexic at one
point because *not* eating *didn't* make me sick - if that makes any sense.

Now that I finally have the answers, I can eat without pain, but I am losing
a bit too much weight.

The irony of this (or it maybe the cause of this) is that I have a complete
obsession with food. Not for myself to eat, but how flavors blend. What
works with what. How you can put two funky things together to come up with
an incredible dish. I love to experiment in the kitchen - although I
usually don't eat what I make. My husband gets to be the guinea pig. :~)

I indulge on forbidden foods now and then and I pay for it, but sometimes it
just calls ya. Like last night. My husband BBQ'd a slab of pork ribs over
cherry wood. I *had* to have a couple of ribs after smelling them for
hours!
