Something not to feel guilty about

[reynardo]

I'm currently in a pile of tests and checkups and all sots of things to try and find out why I'm tired all the time (and putting on weight). Blood tests, physical checkups, colonoscopy, and yay-scull-the-glucose-ICK!

But one thing that came up about my weight was "cut down processed foods".

And I thought over that tonight, and realised that we have a home-cooked meal, from scratch, 6 nights a week. Seriously. Peel carrots, boil spuds, all the stuff.

Which also involves supermarket or markets and all the hard work involved with that.

So stuff that. Yes, I do have food that obviously has been through the processor more than a few times, but I think I'm damned well doing my bit.

No more guilt.

I would LOVE to reach your levels! You seem like you're doing fine, to me. :-) *hugs*

I hate it when doctors make assumptions about a person based on appearance.

Hear, hear!

Guilt is a wasted emotion when it comes to this sort of thing anyway and what you describe is fairly healthy eating.

I do hope you manage to get some answers as to what's going on though. *hugs*

Just a guess, it might be a thyroid condition.

That's one of the things they've checked, and all those levels are fine. We're getting to the "crossed off almost everything" end of the list, dammit.

Do I *really* want to have a new condition named after me?

Not good when they make assumptions, is it?

And your cookingness is awesome.

I hope the tests show something obvious which can have things done about it.
If your behaviour hasn't changed and your weight is going up, I doubt very much that it is your behaviour which has caused the weight to go up.
