Yeah that's how I am too, so sometimes i feel like a fatty amongst my friends but other times i feel like im gonna die because i hate too much.
Your right, finding that happy medium is difficult.

sorry ATE too much lol

Well, you shouldn't skip meals, even if you just eat a bowl of cereal, or have a muffin for breakfast you should have something. It makes me feel weak, and I get headaches if I do not eat. I think because it makes your blood sugar low. I have even been making my husband smoothies in the morning to go with the muffins I make! I will post the recipe for my muffins in my journal again, especially since I have changed it again! I make about 24 of these, and we eat them for about a week (there are 3 of us).

Whenever I eat a full meal, I get super sleepy. It doesnt matter what meal it is - even if I eat oatmeal for breakfast, by 9am I want a nap!

Now, when I skip a meal, or get working and end up not eating lunch until 2,3 or 4pm my body goes haywire. I get this sick shakey feeling my ms starts acting up - i get the fireworks in my head, and little twinges in places. It really lets me know - hey you need to feed me. And once i get to that point, even eating doesnt make me feel that much better, it still lingers a while, until I relax enough and get back on track.

And I have had my thyroid, blood sugar levels, etc. all tested, I'm not diabetic, etc.

Damn this shit, I still work full time and now my mood swings are being noticed, I wish I was'nt so self aware.

well, i never really skip a meal. :) unless i HAVE to. and never breakfast. i've been getting migraines for years, and skipping meals seems to trigger one. so, i'm a grazer and pretty much eat constantly. :)

i do find now though that i can't eat as much for a meal, and if i do, i feel sick to my stomach. well, i've been feeling sick to my stomach a lot. i just assumed it was stress or a bug or something. is this an MS thing?

hmmmmm..... I'm a gluten free wheat free additive free type of eater.

I don't blow up like a balloon after I've eaten and healthy is the only option.

Portion control ;D helps.

So c'mon mr Jim.... what is a typical days eating for you?

I am sick to my stomach a lot of the time. I graze on nuts, that seems to help at times. I can't eat a lot either, that makes me worse.

I do eat healthy, and don't eat wheat..gluton free. I hate to say it, I still have stomach aches.

Maybe a lesion on our brain is working on our stomachs..lol

Today I be mainly eating Acorns,...lol no...I eat Muesely for breaky, then sanwiches at work, then a steak for din dins, I o out for diner a lot so sometimes I eat lots. but in my time its cool cos I just flop, I love and would kill for red wine and that is sooo relaxing.

i believe some of the medicine can make you real nauseous too...could this be a reason?
