I have the first week of my food/pain journal done. I know I ate horribly last week, but except for the time since my fall, my pain levels were actually lower than normal. Go figure. Since my fall I'm in a flare, but that's another story. Next time we get food stamps we are going to buy me some Lean Cuisines so I can get something healthier, and more fruit and veggies. Since DH is also disabled and I physically cannot handle cooking anymore, we haven't been able to eat anything that wasn't prepackaged lately. It isn't fair that we have to depend on DH for all our meals, but I can't cook anymore. I miss home cooked meals. So keep in mind, I don't usually eat this bad and I am going to eat healthier. This was a real junk food week. The only stuff the food pantry gives is junk food, so that doesn't help much, either.
