My goodness, where are you getting the energy to cook? Chemo often has me feeling like it is too much trouble to get upright by the end of the day! I have been taking the easy way out, buying convience foods. I feel very guilty because I used to enjoy preparing healthy meals. (I had been following Weight Watchers guidlines) But I dont have the appetite for alot of things. And the dietician has been urging me to eat the most calorie rich version of things because I was losing too much weight. ..
I have 2 more chemo sessions and hopefully after that I will be able to resume my more healthy habits for my self and my husband. Although I will miss all the cheese I have been enjoying! And ice cream!
