It took so long for me to format the food list, trying to copy it (unsuccessfully) from the My Plate feature of Livestrong.com, that I don't have much time to write anything of substance. I did go to my sleep doctor today, and we're going to try a new medication that does not promote compulsive behavior (like staying up all night on the computer, eating and shopping compulsively). I hope it works. I need some normalcy in my life, as attracted as I am to the whirlwind drama of self-neglect as well as active self-abuse. :-( 

My groovy Daily Plate macronutrient pie chart shows me that I am waaaay over in my fats, averaging over two days in the mid-forties (grams, that is). So, that's where  the excess weight is coming from! Evil delicious-tasting fat!

So, tell me, how do you trim the fat in your diet, and what do you eat for low-calorie, low-fat snacks? Inquiring minds want to know!
