I need help here too, Mary Jo. There are different degrees of healthy- low fat, no fat, no trans fat, broiling meat, eating no meat- don't even get me started on the starvation part. This one's going to be hard. After having an eating disorder for 15 years and finally getting past my hangups, I'll be the first to admit that someone up above is challenging me on this one.
Does anyone know exactly how many fat grams we're supposed to try and stay under? I've been using lots of olive oil- do I need to cut back? Good grief- I guess I got what I asked for, I've complained that I have "no control" with this disease and now feel like it is all in my lap. 66% is ALOT!!!!!!!! Add the Herceptin and the walking, and there are some good odds.
Love, Kelly
