Must eat NOW

What does your body do when you can't get it food and it needs it? I have learned lately that my body hates me when I don't get it food when it wants it. I get headaches and I begin to get dizzy and light-headed.

Before my diagnosis, when I could eat everything without a care in the world, not eating right away was not good but I could handle it. Now, if I don't eat right away, it doesn't take long before my body doesn't handle it.

The good thing, now I know. Now I need to plan ahead. It truly makes it that much easier if I do. The past couple of weeks I have been making weekly meal plans. Do I always follow-thru with what I had decided to eat that night? Not always but for the most part I do. Having weekly meal plans have helped me tremendously. I am not feeling at quite a loss anymore as to what I should make for dinner. In fact, I am actually making dinner more now instead of leaving it for Geoff. For those that don't know, Geoff is the cook in my family. Not to say that I don't like to cook....he just sometimes enjoys it more and sometimes I just feel like being lazy. Also, he is definitely a good cook. *sigh* I am soo lucky!

The other good thing, we are trying out so many new recipes now that I don't feel like we are eating the same ol' thing all the time. It is fun! I have found some new things I like that I probably never would have made before. Majority of the stuff I make are also naturally gluten free.

Now I am curious?? Does anyone else have weekly meal plans for their family? Do you do it just for dinner or for all the meals? I mostly do it for dinner...occasionally I will do other meals too.
