Topamax Side Effects:
Taste change Some people on TOPAMAX may have taste changes where food or drink tastes differently. This has been reported with carbonated beverages, for example.
- No kidding. I can’t even stand the taste/feeling of soda in my mouth anymore. Its like metal mixed with hot bubbles. Barf.
Difficulty with concentration/attention and difficulty with memory TOPAMAX may...

veggieshaveaheart:
I’ve been eating Now and Later Soft for 3 days and it turns out they have egg whites in them, but the normal Now and Laters don’t. Man, it’s irritating finding out things you love aren’t vegan, things that seem like they obviously would be. Then there are things that surprise you, like Oreos being vegan! Crazy!

However, I will stick to my Med Salad. 310 calories for the large is not bad at all.
I also really like to get the Whole Grain Tuscan Linguine, minus the cream and the cheese. Yum.

Today, I discovered that there are some really inconsiderate people roaming this earth. I was out shopping at Express on my lunch hour today, and was in search of a new pair of pants that just made me feel good. Well, I thought for surely I had found the pair. You know ladies what I’m talking…

Wake up in the Morning Feeling Like P.Diddy
Well, I’m not entirely sure how P. Diddy feels, but the guy has enough money to hire somebody to give him a piggy back ride everywhere, so I am assuming he feels pretty stellar.
I feel pretty good today. I decided instead of taking my usual nap after work that I was going to stay awake and take a run. Well, my run turned into a three hour run/walk all over the city. It felt really, really...

Miserable
I ate three granola bars this morning because I am depressed and eating is the only thing that gives me feelings these days.
I never knew you could simultaneously feel “full” and “empty.”
What I am doing with my life? Ugh.

9.20.10 Recap
Upon shutting down my computer and leaving work yesterday, I headed off to pick up my little brother from my parent’s house.
They really should have a sign hanging above the door that reads, “Abandon Your Healthy Eating Habits, All Ye Who Enter Here.”
Not only is my folks’ home literally bursting with food (I counted thirty one boxes of cereal in the pantry once, and only...

Was a bit hectic getting ready today. I went to a late showing of The Town last night and ended up going to sleep later than I wanted to. I was also distracted by the fact that my face decided to spontaneously open a zit factory...

Miss me?
Trying to get back into the swing of things after being gone for a few days.
I had a very bad health scare while I was in Georgia, but it was alieviated yesterday at the doctors office. Basically I had some tests done that showed some a-typical cells. My doctor thought they could have been pre-cancerous, so I had to go in for further testing. He did not see any signs of a tumor or...

I was a big waste of space yesterday.
I went to sleep at around 5am, woke up at 2pm, and didn’t move from the couch all day.
Save to make food.
I won’t even tell you what I ate, but I can guarantee it was enough to keep a baby hippo satiated for months.
I was being a big baby because of my tattoo. It is very hard to sit up because it burns so bad! Whaaaa.
As for saturday, I was a...

star-filled asked: I'd like to point out that while Omega-3 Fatty acid are great, they need to be balanced with Omega-6 fatty acids. A intake of pure Omega-3's can actually lead to an overdose. Basically, everything in moderation, you can't just take vitamin D supplements and expect to absorb it, just like you can't expect all the benefits of Omega-3's with out the 6's.

Be a (Good) Fatty
If you’re anything like me, you fear the word “fat” more than you dread the notion of having to represent Lindsay Lohan in court.
Perhaps there may be no good excuse for LiLo’s moonshine addiction, but there is such thing as “friendly fat.”
I want you to meet my lovely friend, Omega-3 Fatty Acid (and no, Lindsay; you don’t tootally trip balls off of it)

790 Calories; 181 Fat Calories
I would like to congratulate myself for doing considerably better Wednesday than I did on Tuesday.
I would like to say I deserve a cookie, but let’s not even go there! I’ll just stare at the new Bebe Fall Lookbook, and that will be enough to make me forsake cookies.
Mmm, deliciously tacky, yet fashionable leopard print. Hello, lucious over-the-knee...

9.7.10 Review
So for the food that I actually had numbers for, I consumed 1,480 calories yesterday. Let’s bear in mind that this does not include the two cups of popcorn I ate around 10am, the peanut butter pretzels at 8pm, and the nosh-fest I had when I came home between 12:30am and 1am.
I think it is safe to say I hit, and probably surpassed, my 2,000 calorie intake. I’m not terribly...

fruit juice does NOT count
you can drink water plain or with benefiber for some extra fiber, or green tea. whatever floats your boat

Migraines
veggieshaveaheart:
I’ve been nursing a migraine since this morning. I was hoping the diet change would make them stop, but I guess it just means they are caused by something else. Great.
I feel your pain, cupcake.
I had chronic migraines for awhile after my car accident. So bad, that I would just lay in the dark with an ice pack on my head and pray for death!
I was put on a medication to...
