[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am not sure I could do your menu long term.  Vegs are great but I wonder if you need a little more protein.

If you aren't really vegan (eating chicken), I might add a few more protein sources.  Maybe an egg, more chicken, fish?  Or start with the menu you have but add a little more protein if you are getting hungry.

Hey PP, OP here. We aren't strict vegan but I believe, for health and moral reasons, in eating vegan as much as I can stand. Yes, the menu is a lot of veggies. Snack almost killed me today. :-) But it's how I believe in eating, so other than the soup I'm sticking with it. I may give myself a nice bowl of spaghetti with homemade red sauce on Saturday evenings if I've been "good" all week - that's my ultimate treat. Unfortunately tofu is largely unavailable here so I'm stuck there.

For my mental health, I need to eat the same things over and over - when I have choices to make, I make bad ones. It's part of the routine I feel into when I was doing OA for a while. It was my form of "abstinence" since I can't exactly quit eating. :-)

You all have been so kind to take the time to try to help and it's really appreciated. I was totally on plan today and it felt great. One day at a time, right?[/quote]
