I got hungry today mid-day again, and it wouldn't go away. At 2:30, I succumbed (again, not fasting) and, rather than repeat yesterday's turkey jerky incident, I thought I would go to the "convenience" store on the corner near work and get some cheese or something.
I'd only been in there once before - to grab a Red Bull on a day during the spate of hot flashes when sleep had just been a pipe dream. And I hadn't really noticed what all they sold, but figured it would be more or less like a truck stop - maybe with a few more normal grocery items. But snack cheese would be there, right?
Nope. Cheez-and-crackers, Cheetos, and a single 8 oz package of Kraft cheddar, but nothing more amenable to snacking. They also had a single package of bologna, and one of bacon. Oh, and some beef jerky and cans of vienna sausages. A very few fruit/veggies - onion, garlic, lemons caught my eye. Other than that, carb-city, baby. Wow. And people live in that building, and I think the nearest grocery store is quite a ways away. Nasty.
I bought a package of almonds, thinking that they were the nut with more Omega 3s than others. Then I looked up the Omega-3 content of almonds. 5.7 mg per serving, compared with 11.5 full grams of Omega-6 oils. So if that's as good as nuts get, nuts aren't much good. I ate them anyway - starvation and all. I hope they don't make the inflammation worse, but I don't think I'll hold my breath.
