It's a thought...........
Is it possible that because I am eating much more friuts and veggies, that it might be countering all the bad stuff I have been eating. At least to some extent? I can't believe that I only gained what I did this week, but I have been trying really hard to also eat at least 5 helpings of fruits and veggies a day.
Worded weird I know, but I hope I made sense.

| Omega 3 |
[18 Oct 2007|10:45am] |
I have been taking an omega 3 suppliment & have been eating foods high in omega 3. I think it is improving my mood & helping me to be less insane re: weight issues. This is highly interesting to me b/c I am not a "sunshine & lollipops" kind of person so more looking on the bright side is a welcome change.
Anyone else have positive experiences with more omega 3??
