Salt-aholic

Like I’ve mentioned it’s just prior to that TOM. And I’m actually more mental now than I am during that TOM. It’s tough. I’m tired, cranky, can’t focus, and go into flight mode where I just want to change my identity and start over. That’s a whole other story. The aspect of pre-TOM that applies to the weighty issue is the insatiable hunger!

On a daily basis I peruse the weight loss blogoshpere and so many write of this. I find the most common food of choice to be chocolate, occasionally, with a side of peanut butter. I’m not the biggest fan of food of the sweet persuasion.

I prefer salt and sour and right now I’m thanking my lucky stars about that because I’m about to eat a whole jar of sauerkraut (a big one too, 32 oz). Once I’m done and on the verge of explosion, I’ll only have consumed 150 calories and no fat. It has more salt than the ocean or a container of salt, but what-ev.

That kraut is going to keep me from eating my other favorite, a whole loaf of burnt cream cheese toast. My “cream cheese” toast really contains at least equal part butter, or more, to cream cheese. It’s like calling a big mac a grilled cheese. I use tofutti cream cheese and non-hydrogenated vegan butter, so it’s a little gentler on the veins. Pretty much, though, a whole loaf of anything is going to be trouble.

I’ll keep you posted on the side effects of that salt.
