Gosh, I love food. I think about all the time. Oh, can't wait to go grocery shopping. OH MUFFINS...get in my belly!!!

[Sangye]

LOL-- I can't leave you guys alone for a few hours, can I?

[Lola]

Please don't bring up the word Muffin! I have a big muffin top around my jeans' waistband. ARrrgh.

Muffin top around the jeans, how about looking and bending like your 9 months pregnant. What am I saying, I weighed less when I was pregnant.

That Giraffe is too much. The funniest thing i have seen in ages. Thanks - was definetly a LOL moment.

All that talk of muffins - leaves me hungry for some of those triple choc ones i keep hearing about - muffin tops? horrible things . . mine has turned into a spare tyre!!

[Sangye]

LOL-- I guess that old saying is really true "You are what you eat." Shoot. Better start eating Slim-Jims.

Ive developed this love of licorice, is that good. I think I read somewhere it was good for the adrenals.

I think licorice can increase your blood pressure.
I am going to make triple chocolate muffins tomorrow. I went to "Whole Foods" and ate about 5 pounds of food there....plus I had a brownie gelato. I don't feel guilty....because I deserve to treat my prednisone body once in a while.

Im going to make date cake tomorrow, oh it is tomorrow..
Interesting about the licorice because I have low blood pressure most times. Sometimes I think the body tells me what it needs.

Col-- please avoid licorice. It causes high blood pressure (which pred can do) and causes potassium loss (which pred can do). When I was a child my mom started passing out. The docs told her she must have a brain tumor. It turned out to be the daily modest amount of licorice she was eating--it was depleting her potassium. She discovered it many years later.

Licorice is very good for the adrenals but building the adrenals will boost Wegs. It's a great plant to use if you're healthy and know how to avoid problems with it. Bad news for a Weggie. I'm sorry.
